"Her' a ratio between the total amount' farmer and rancher should have ued the total amount actually applied throughout the state," Charles W. Bourg, U. S. Steel crop and soil scientist, left, explains. Studing the over-a- ll percentage comparison is I. G. Bywater, superinlendsnt of the Nitrogen Plant at U. S. Steel's big Censva Works, near Provo, Utah. Studies compiled by agricultural colleges and state and federal agencies show that the total use of nitrogen by Utah farmers and d ranchers in conjunction with other plant foods is only about of the total amount recommended for all crops grown in the state. Individually, these recommendations vary by crop, local soil conditions and as a result of previous farming practices. We live in an era in which, apparently, vast numbers of people regard the government as the proper source of almost benefits. every kind of handout, grant, and ed So something that Henry Hazlitt has to say in Newsweek about government is important. In his words: Its true function is to maintain peace, order, and justice; to protect life and property; to refrain from burdensome and inequitable taxation; to remove the punitive laws and deterrents that previous governments have imposed. Its function is to permit and preserve a sound currency.' When it fails to do this, it must bear sole responsibility for the failure. Once government breaks its historic bonds, and goes beyond these functions, the result is always die same: Oppressive taxation, a degraded currency, diminished incentive, and a steady whitding away of the freedoms of all citizens. i : ; 1 INCREASE .YOUR PROFITS WITH MR.

For fertilizers serve not only as sources of the mineral nutrients and nitrogen required by crop plants but of those required by the soil microorganisms as well Nitrogen and prospEorus are important constituents of their bodies. Crop residues are rapidly changed into compost when nitrogen is added, assuming that phosphorus and other required food elements are present in ample amounts in the soil. Use of fertilizers is the starting point with any unproductive soil, whether farm, lawn or garden. Fertilization provides a means of adding organic matter to all soils, improving their physical properties, and partially overcoming drouth effects. For fertilizer means bigger crops, deeper root systems, and larger amounts of crop residues to be made into organic, matter. There are millions of acres of farmed land that are naturally in good physical condition without any efort on the part of man. This is true of many sands and sandy loams on the coastal plain that extends from Massachusetts to Texas, including virtually the whole state of .Florida, except for the Everglades.
