Action by esiscakan to Lower the Cost of This Fertilizer. The present shortage of farm labor— attributed by many to the high wage ection of the munition factorles— emphasizes the fact that labor costs on American farms are on the upgrade. of acres of sugar beets being plowed up because workers could not be se- cured to harvest them, and similar con- | ditions have prevailed with respect to fruit and grain crops. It is becoming evident that to make a nrofit bigger yields must be obtained | from every acre, so that the same amount of work given to the care of the crops as at present will bring in a | bigger production to overcome the in- ‘creased expenditure for labor. When we realize that the wheat average of Europe, for example, is thirty-two bush- els per acre, while ours is but fifteen bushels, it can be seen that we can make this increas According to Dr. L. H. Baekeland, one of the foremost scientists in the past president of several of the leading scientific societies and a member of both the naval consulting | poard and the nitrate plant committee of the American Academy of Sciences, this can be accomplished through cheap fertilizer. At present, he pointed out in a talk before the committee on agriculture of the United States senate, the“American farmer cannot use fer- tilizer to the extent in which it is used in Germany, Belgium and ether coun- tries of big crop Ids per acre, be- cause the Gren EG in the cost is such | that the extra gain in ctops is out- red by the tone of the additional fertilizer. When the air nitrate plant authorized by congress at its last ses- sion at the request of the National Grange and the Farmers’ union is es- hed it will produce a large quan- | tity of high grade nitr nous fertilizer at a cost estimated to be 50 per cent below that of present fertilizers, put- ting American farmers on the same i is as those of other countries. This | plant, according to the provisions of the act, is to be owned and operated exclusively by the government, so that there will be no danger of a private | monopoly. It is intended that in case of war the nitrates will be used in am- munition, in which nitric acid is a prime essential and for which the coun- try 10w dependent upon the nitrates of Chile. Dr. Baekeland’s statement discyss- ing conditions in Belgium “and Ger- miainy included the following: “The yield per acre for many crops is al- most proportionate within certain lim- its to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer vonsumed; in fact, these limits do not seem to have been reached, from the fact that fertilizer costs money, and naturally there arrives a point where j It does not pay the farmer to use more. As soon as you cheapen the cost you give the farmer a chance to realize upon his labor by increasing his yields per acre. 1f this is important in countries like Belgum and Germany, where farm labor is incomparably cheaper than it is in the United States, it is almost self evident that it be comes much more important in a coune try where labor is scarce and expen- sive.’” MORE AMERICAN’ MADE TOYS War Conditions Develop Industry te Point Where Foreign Competi- tion Is Broken Forever, Washington.—America in the toy making indus Hereto- fore the United States has purchased the majority of its toys from Germany, Nuremburg being one of the chief man ufacturing centers in former years, Forced by war conditions to depend upon their own resour the manu- facturers of this count have been making toys and have been so success- ful that buyers for large stores claim the hold of other countries on this line of business been broken forever.
