No Mineral Supply Heeded To Restore Fertility Heavy wartime croppings drained twice as much nitiogon from Illinois soils as was put back by fertilizer applications or legume crops, declares O. L. Whalm, University of Illinois. What was true in Illinois wr,s true of farm soils in numerous ocher Midwestern states. Approximately 3 300,000 tons of nitrogen were removed from the soil in harvested crops in the 1942 46 period, Whalm points out. But only about 1.500,000 tons of nitrogen were returned to the land. This replacement included nitrogen in fertilizer applications, plus 60 per cent of the nitrogen In legumes harvested end in sweet clover turned under. The supply of other mineral elements was seriously depleted. Whalm estimates that only about half of the phosphorus taken from the soil was replaced. Less than as much potash was added through commercial fertilizers as was removed by harvested crops. "This heavy drain on the soils mineral supply, says Whalm, "has reached the point where crop yields on many soils definitely depend on the amount of minerals applied. Manure, inoculated legumes, phosphate and potash are required, will maintain and even increase yields on most soils. Carrying out such a program, he adds, calls for use of lime on much th IJLUEBIRDS singing a song!
