AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR TRE FARMER
Nation and Humanity Art
Calling Upon Him for
Service.
PROFITS CONTINUE LARGE
Production of food Crops Must
Be Increased in Face of La
bor Shortage ? Greatest Op
portunity for Bigger Produc
tion Lies in Utilization of
Wood Mold and Leaves.
State's Fertilizer Bill $35,
000,000; Manure Corp Worth
$50,000,000 ? Crop Value
Can be Increased $25,000,000
by Use of Wood Mold and
Leaves.
Raleigh. ? North Carolina farmers
face the greatest opportunity for serv
ice and profit that the farmers of
any country have ever had. With the
Tate of the war in Europe largely de
pendent upon food supplies and with
balf the world starving the opportu
nity for service to country and hu
manity Is unprecedented. With a
world shortage of food and feedstuffa
of all kinds prices will continue to
remain at their present high levels
not only until the end of the war but
for one to three years after the war.
In the face of a shortage of labor
North Carolina farmers must produce
a larger total of corn, wheat, cotton,
goy beans, peas, potatoes, sorghum for
syrup, hay crops and livestock. A
larger acreage in these crops cannot
be worked than was worked last year
but the same acreage can be made to
produce larger yte'ds. Botte- soil
preparation and better crop cultlva.
tion will increase yields and profits
to a large extent but increased fertil
isation must be depended upon for
the greatest part of ttie increase that
Is so urgently desirable.
Fertilizer Bill $35,000,000.
There are 385,000 head of work stork
npon the farms of North Carolina.
There was used upon the land culti
vated by these animals last year more
than 850,000 tons of commercial fer
tilizers and more than 68,000 tons of
rottons^d meal. It Is extremely
doubtful if a larger supply of commer
cial fertilizers will be available this
year. If the same quantity is used
this will represent a commercial
fertilizer bill of approximately $35,000,
D00. The stable manure from 385,000
head of work stock and approximately
700,000 head of cattle, if properly sav
ed and utilized, would be worth at
least $50,000,000. Here Is an oppor
tunity for increased fertilization be
cause many of our farmers have paid
little attention heretofore to the mak
ing, saving and utilization of stable
manure.
The Greatest Opportunity.
Thrt greatest opportunity, however,
lies in the utilization of forest leaves
and wood mold. The past winter has
been ideal for the purpose of rotting
leaves and there are very few farm
ers in the State who have not an op
portunity to largely increase their
production this year through the use
of this form of fertilizer. Agricul
tural experts are agreed that a ton of
dry forest leaves and wood mold con
tains at present fertilizer values. $8
worth of fertilizer ingredients. This
means that if five tons of leaves and
wood mold are used on every equiva
lent one-horse farm in North Caro
lina the aggregate value of such fer
tilization would be more than $15,000,
000, or very nearly half the value of
the State's commercial fertilizer bill of
the year.
The Children Can Help.
The raking and hauling of forest
leaves and wood mold is not a difficult
undertaking. The raking Into piles
may be done by the smaller children
or by the grown-ups during spare
time and can be hauled between now
and planting time. Wood mold spread
upon wheat during the next three or
four weeks will largely Increase the
yield, according to the quantity used.
Wood mold and leaves spread upon
land that is to be planted in cotton,
corn and other crops will very greatly
Increase yields and will render more
effective the fertilizers used. Hauflng
of leaves and wooil mold should be
continued during spare time even aft
er the planting season of cotton and
corn, being worked into the grounl
during the cultivation of the crop.
On wheat and other grain the results
will not only be seen in the increased
production of grain, but In the Increas
ed production of hay or other crop
which follows.
A ^25,000,000 Increase.
Agricultural experts have estimated
that the production of food and feed
crops in North Carolina could he In
creased $25,000,000 this year by the
utilization by farmers of this oppor
tunity for increasing the fertility of
their soil. It has been repeatedly
deminstrated that the application of
manure and other vegetable matter la
noticed in the land for several years
after the application so that the ap
plication of leaves and wood mold this
year trill result in not only increasing
the yields during the coming sewon
but during the years to come.
