OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

CHICAGO, April 7 Fertilizer use on Indiana farms jumped from 201,40 tons in the prewar year of 1039 to 500.240, tons in 3945, according to U. S. Department of Agriculture statistics. The vastly increased demand for plant food not only in Indiana and other Midwestern states, but throughout the United Slates, has far outstripped the supply, in spite of tremendous increases in production. This was 'disclosed in a recent report of a special subcommittee of the U. S. House of Representa-

LADY'S ARM WAS BENT UP DOUBLE LIKE A JACKKNIFB One lady recently stated that her arm used to become doubled up like a jackknife. She couldn't move her arm up or down because her muscles were stiff with rheumatic pains and the joints of her elbow and shoulder were swollen. She said she was ashamed to leave her house because people would stare at her. Finally rhe got RHU-AID and says she now can raise her arm above her head and the swelling left her elbow and shoulder. The awful pain and stiffness is gone. She is

enjoying life once more ana leeis like "some other woman" since taking this New Compound. RHU-AID contains Three Great Medicinal Ingredients which go right to the very source of rheumatic aches and pains. Miserable people soon feel different all over. So don't go on suffering!

tives' committee on agriculture, Issued in Washington, the report

was received here by the Middle jWest Soil Improvement Committee. It covers a preliminary survey of the 1947 fertilizer supply situation. Citing reasQns for the present nationwide "pinch" in fertilizer supplies the report says: j "It is obvious that the. basic difficulty ' facing farmers ;-. this spring is not (with the exception of Chilean nitrate of soda) an actual 'deficiency of supply, but rather an , unprecedented dsmand.'" " fertilizer consumption for the United States as a whole, has Increased at the rate of about a million tons a year during the war, the report says, reaching a peak of 14,000,000 tons in 1!MG, compared to an average of 7,300,000 tons in the years 1935-39. "Significant in the pattern of increased demand is the greatly expanded use of fertilizer in the Midwestern states, where previously little fertilizer was used," the report states.

The most important factor in the changing pattern of fertilizer use, it continues, is that "fertilizer plants have naturally been built primarily in the areas of greatest use in the Southeast and along the Atlantic Seaboard." But most new fertilizer plants now being constructed are located to serve the Midwest area. "The Civilian Production Administration reports that 65 new plants and 44 major plant, expansions have gone into opera- , tion in the past year," the report says, "and others are being constructed as fast as materials be- I come available." . - j

tension agronomist, makes the following suggestions: I Drill from 200 to 300 pounds of such fertilizers as 2-12-6 or 3-12-12 with oats. The newer varieties of oats are giving a fyie response to fertilizers containing nitrogen and these applications are doubly important where clover or mixed seedings are made. Apply available fertilizer at 100 to 200 pounds per acre in the row or hill, for corn with or without plow-under fertilizer. On soils testing medium to high In" phosphate and potash plow under 200 to 300 pounds of straight nitrogen fertilizer with corn stalks or combined soybean and small grain straw on less 1 fertile soils. Where, high nitrogen mixtures like 8-8-8 are available, plow under, at 500 to 800 pounds per acre for corn, preferably on hard run land or following corn, soybeans or small

grain rather than legume sods or one year growth of sweet clover. Plow under no , low nitrogen mixtures like 2-12-6 or 3-12-12 or straight phosphate-potash mixtures. Where phosphate-potash mixtures ..both with and without nitrogen are available use the straight phosphate-potash goods in the corn row and the nitrogen mixture with oats, For top-dressing or renovating permanent pasture use available phosphate or. phosphate-poiash mixtures at 300 to 500 pounds per acre.

least once a month during the growing season, if the lawn continues to be the envy of the neighborhood, says George Enfield, Purdue University agronomist. Fertilizer should be bought for the lawn on the basis of the amount of nitrogen contained in the fertilizer. On the market this spring, the gardener may purchase nitrogen as ammonium sulfate, garden mixes, and as field fertilizer. The ammonium sulfate is being handled by one of the automobile distributors in each i community. The amounts of nitrogen contined in 100 pounds of the above fertilizers are as follows: ammonium sulfate, 20 pounds; garden mixes (4-12-2), four pounds; and field fertilizer (2-i2-6)', two pounds. At present

prices, although ammonium sulfate is quoted higher, this will be the most economical purchase. The agronomist suggests that for ease of spreading, the ammonium sulfate might be mixed with equal parts of. field fertilizer, giving the equivalent of a 11-6-3 analysis. . ..

The average lawn on light col- i ored loams will require about two to three pounds of ammoni- ' um sulfate per 1000 square feet of lawn every 30 days during the growing season. " i In view of the scarcity of bluegrass seed this spring, the agronomist recommends that the best use of money expended for lawn upkeep will be for building up the present stands of . grass and clover. After the frost is out of the

ground, rolling will benefit the lawn, firming the plants in the ground and make for easier, mowing. When the ground is dry, the lawn should be raked to remove dead grass, leaves and oth-, cr debris. This gives the new grass a better chance to fill in bare spaces.

Fox shooting from planes is prohibited by law, but they serve as "eyes" of ground hunters, who move in for the kill.
