School Lunch Fertilizer Boom to (Continued from preceding page) Salt Lake City agronomist Dr. Ray C. Lipps, in a talk before the Intermountain Range and Fertilizer Conference at Fort Collins, Colo., late in February, pointed up this problem when he said: "Beef is being grown cheaper and cheaper as other sections oC the country find that well managed grassland and profit are synonymous. synony-mous. On the other hand, in many parts of the Intermountain West, I hear of declining range and meadow mea-dow yields and grazing allotment reductions or restrictions." According to most experts, the solution to this problem can only be found in more modern tech niques of range management which can sharply increase the tonnage of beef produced per unit of land. Among the various management practices cited for making land give a bigger return at the lowest cost, adequate fertilization heads the list of effective steps that can be taken. And, in the Intermountain area, nitrogen is the fertilizer most often needed in a range or grassland grass-land improvement program. Typical of the Increased yields that can be realized through the use of nitrogen is a case study reported re-ported from Idaho last January by John Niebergall, district forest ranger. After applying about 400 pounds of nitrogen per acre to test plots of seeded ranges, he reported that the fertilized grass produced 7520 pounds of air-dried hay per acre while the unfertilized produced pro-duced 3235 pounds per acre. Production, Pro-duction, he reported, was 2 and 13 times greater on thefertilized area and the production of protein was even slightly greater. In another typical test, using correct cor-rect harvest and proper irrigation, nitrogen boosted hay yields at the first cutting from three tons per acre to four tons per acre. When the regrowth was also treated with nitrogen, it yielded an additional one-fourth ton of hay per acre a total increase of 1V& tons per acre. And, heavy nitrogen applications have actually increased hay yield three tons per acre. Research has repeatedly shown that a program of fertilization, a long with water control and two- crop harvesting, can boost the car rying capacity of the average mountain meadow or pasture by four times. This means that an acre of land which, under conventional range practices, supported one cow only a hundred days, can produce enough to carry four cows for the same length of time. This assumes that water is controlled and correct cor-rect harvesting practices are fol lowed. Through such a program, farmers and ranchers can 'boost production per acre by three or four times and their profits even more.

The club program is a part of the national educational system of cooperative extension work in which the United States Depart- Agriculture, State land-grant colleges, and the counties coun-ties share. The Federal Extension Service gives national leadership and the State extension services give State leadership to the program. pro-gram. Two important groups helping help-ing to further the program are the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work in Chicago and the National 4-H Club Foundation, in Washington, D. C.
