Mama (who is Mrs. Robert Sterling in private life) , has had each frequency, ever since Hirohito accepted President Trusurrender unconditional mans terms and the Jap hordes have laid down their arms. It has brought in Will a its train other questions: Will continued farm slump occur? vast production smash prices? Will transition to peacetime schedules upset farm economy? Three fairly definite answers have emerged and each is hearteningly reassuring to everyone who lives on or near a farm: 1. Demand for foods, fibers and oils will continue to require a high rate of farm production. The world must eat and American farmers increasing Farm economists are agreed there no immediate cutback in production despite the end of the war. In the months to come, domestic and military needs of the States plus the relief defrom liberated areas in Europe and the Pacific will take all the food this nation can produce. With vast areas of Europe and Asia laid waste, American farmers will be called on to produce and keep on producing. It may be years before the ravaged countries can come back anywhere near to normal. In the meantime American farmers have a big job ahead to help keep whole continents alive and healthy. During this same time the United States itself must be fed. As demobilization of our armed forces proceeds, t there will be less need for the various services to have great stocks of food in reserve. That will tend to increase civilian supplies as well as permit better disUnited mands tribution. gett- ing the green light, the dislocation of workers caused by war contract cutbacks may be of much shorter duration than has been anticipated. That means more peacetime civilian jobs. One thing the war demonstrated was that if the entire nation is at work, there is no major farm surplus problem. The greatest crops in history have been produced during the war. The record year was 1942. Next was 1944 and indications are that this year will exceed 1943, so that 1945 may be the third best. Credit for this epic achievement must go to the nations farmers, but the contribution of the fertilizer industry should not be overlooked. Ag- ricultural authorities estimate that wore than 20 per cent of the crop production in the war years has been due to the use of fertilizers. The use of plant foods has been of essential importance to the food pro- duction program because it has enabled farmers to produce bigger crops on existing acres instead of having to plow up millions of acres of in additional farm land. The saving labor, equipment and man hours has been enormous. Farm income during recent years passed the peaks reached dur-w- g and immediately after World war I. Prices are now near or e H As t? repeating above parity. Even if prices should come down to government-suppo- rt levels a drop of perhaps 15 per cent below present peaks farm purchasing power will be enormous. The farmer has a higher amount to spend out of his income than other wage earners, for the reason that less of his income is required for rent, food and fuel than is the case with city dwellers. Six million farm families comprising approximately 30 million people having a gross income in excess of 20 billion dollars a year will be a factor of tremendous importance to Americas peacetime economy. Farmer in Strong Position. Just as significant as agricultures high income rate in recent years is the fact that the farmer has been laying aside a good portion of his savings in war bonds to spend for essentials in years to come. Clearly the farmer has emerged from the war in a stronger position than he was at its start. To maintain that position the farmer should do some straight thinking and planning. Two things 1 He are especially important: avoid should overexpansion through the 'purchase of additional land in the peace years ahead; 2 He should make immediate plans to repair the damage to his soils fertility level which the vast war crop production quotas have caused. The experience of the last war with its farm land boom and subsequent collapse should be a reminder that the American farmer should not go in for more land than hfe can successfully handle. Farm land prices have already risen dangerously toward inflation levels. Farsighted agricultural authorities are urging farmers to keep their shirts on and steer clear of the pitfalls of land speculation.

In every case the larger yield was the result of adopting good soil fertility practices. The experience of these farmers can be profitably followed by their neighbors in their peacetime operations. Their methods not only prevented waste of fertility, but actually have helped restore it. Such methods include growing legumes to enrich the soils nitrogen and organic matter supply, the use of adequate quantities of mixed fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, liming, contour plowing and a limiting, so far as possible, of crops. Soil Fertility Replenishment. The matter of soil fertility replenishment will have an important bearing on the peacetime continuaIf the tion of farm prosperity. nations farms are to be kept projob ductive, a vast lies immediately ahead. How important this is may be understood from a recent report issued by the Soil Conservation service of the department of agriculture which estimated that nearly one billion acres more than 90 per cent of the nations farmlands need soil conservation treatment to protect them from erosion and to maintain their fertility. Wartime crop goals used up the soils resources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash faster than they could be replaced in spite of the fact that the fertilizer industry broke all previous production records. Farmers have realized that this wartime drain on their soils fertility level was a necessary contribution to victory. But the fact remains that wealth borrowed from the soil to help hasten peace must be repaid. While every encouragement will be given to soil rebuilding projects by the federal government and by state agricultural agencies, the major responsibility for getting the job done will rest on the shoulders of individual farmers. , The effectiveness of the individual farmers soil rebuilding program can be enhanced by the of agronomists at state agricultural colleges and experiment stations. Through research and experimentation over a long span of years, these experts have developed information concerning fertilizer needs for various crops and soils that is helpful to the farmer who is undertaking a replenishment program. of the fertilizer The industry will be an effective aid, also. The present plant capacity of manufacturers is sufficient to meet all peacetime needs of agriculture. Farmers are more fortunately situated for accomplishing their job than at any time in the invested past generation.
