NEW YORK (#—The newest thing down on the farm is the spectaclar job being done by chém- icals for agriculture. These chemicals are estimated to’ ‘be adding about one billion dollars @ year to farm income just by maintaining the fertiiity of the land and controlling insects. The farmers seem to be convin- ced. Last year, they bought more than 1% billion dollars worth of chemicals. That included 23 million ‘pounds of insect killers, 50 million pounds of weed killers, and a grow- ‘ing volume of seed disinfectants, provide for premium rates.
