Guarding Fertility
Farm*' Beit Resource
Replacement of Mineral
Food Very Important
Regardless ol how good a crop
ping system may be, it cannot of
itself completely maintain the fertil
ity of the soil. Moreover, the more
efficient a farmer is in maintaining
high production, the more rapidly
wUl fertility leave his land, accord
ing to Dr. C. O. Rost of the Minne
sota agricultural experiment station.
Most good farmers are like a
merchant who opens a store
with well-filled shelves and by
vigorous selling methods rapid
ly disposes of his goods, but
neglects to order new stock. His
stock of staple goods Is soon
depleted.
The staple goods first drained
from the farmer's store in the soil
will be nitrogen, phosphorus, potash,
lime and organic matter. All crops,
livestock and livestock products re
move fertility from the farm. In
Minnesota alone, it would be no ex
aggeration to say that the equivalent
of at least 500,000 tons of commer
cial fertilizer is removed each year
from the soil in the form of cash
crops and livestock products. The
situation in Minnesota is typical of
what occurs every crop season
throughout the United States.
But this is not the entire story.
Scientists of the department of ag
riculture have estimated that 63 mil
lion tons of plant food materials are
removed each year by erosion from
the fields of the United States. Much
of this loss is directly traceable to
wasteful cropping methods, to fail
ure to replace fertilizer elements or
to grow cover crops and follow rota
tion systems.
In the majority of cases, losses
from erosion can be largely elimi
nated by the use of proper crop ro
tations, special cropping systems
and good soil management practices
which include the use of fertilizer.
These, when combined with other
supplementary practices such as
contour plowing and strip cropping,
can help eliminate erosion.
The problem of replacing mineral
plant foods drained away by crop
production is serious and should re
ceive serious attention. A part of
the nitrogen removed may be re
placed by growing inoculated leg
umes, but minerals cannot be re
plenished unless they are supplied
in the form of commercial fertiliz
ers. Surface soil contains the ma
jor part of the organic matter and a
large part of the readily available
nutrients.

HOGS
So valuable are all the hog fata
that even the water used in the pack
ing house is strained to retrieve
floating greases. From these come
liquid oils, pasty grease and hard
tallow which is sold as lard, manu
factured into salves, cosmetics, can
dle stock, metal polish, soap, lubri
cating oils for engines, explosives,
burning oils and animal feeds.
Pepsin is produced from the lin
ings of the stomach of hogs. Glands
produce the drug insulin, and liver
extract comes from hog liver. Only
the large packers can market glands
'or pharmaceutical uses since they
must be marketed quickly in large
quantities before deterioration be
gins.
Blood of slaughtered hogs is used
in refining sugar, printing calico, in
making buttons, shoe polish, fertilis
er and animal feed. Bones are
cut into ornaments, buttons and
combs and ground into bone meal
and oil, animal feeds and glue.
Bristles from the hog are used
as brashes. Hair from the body
goes into felting, mattresses, ap
holstery, air filters and insula- |
ttea for refrigerators. The skin
is marketed for leather goods,
raior strops, belts and gloves.
Rural Briefs
Large cows of any breed, when
given an equal opportunity, average
out better in milk production than
small ones.

Nowadays stress is placed on
growing green and yellow vegeta
bles and tomatoes, high in Vitamins
A and C, and on doing more can
ning, drying, freexing and storing of
home-grown fruits and vegetables.

Gigantic Task of Moving
Tank Works in Russia
The Kirov Tank works of Lenin
grad was one of the largest plants
that Russia evacuated to the Urals
in 1941, says Collier's. Its build
ings, which covered 400 acres and
were connected by 30 miles of rail
road track, contained six open
hearth furnaces, nine electric steel
furnaces, nine rolling mills, 310
forges, 420 heating furnaces and
3,500 metal-working machines.
A similar feat would be the mov
ing of the Chrysler Tank Arsenal
from Detroit to Denver.
