OUnOOK FOR THE NEXT WHEAT AND OAT CROP \ BY CHARLES A. WHITTLE, Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Georgia. The approach of wheat and oat suw- iiig time raises a question in the larni- er & mind as to the outlook for tbcsfi crojJ3. It is well known that under the stimulus of Government price an enormous wheat crop has l>een pro duced, a crop of approximately 1,200,- 000,000 bushels. It is estimated that this country re quires 600.000,000 bushels and that Europe will require from 410,000,000 to 460,000,00.0 bushels. If these figures prove correct, thei’e will be a veiy lit tle surplus left of the big crop of wheat this country has grown. Since it appears to be probable that there wiil be no trouble to dispose of the present crop the next question is, what are the planting prospects for other \Vheat growing nations? Of course the nations south of the equator, like Argentina and Austra lia, that have thoir summer when we are having our winter, have already sown their fall crops, and will har vest them near Christmas time. These nations have, thus far^ good prospects; but they would hardly corhpare with any two leading wheat-growing states of this coimtry: therefore, they are not important factors. Russia is the great granary of Eu rope and Asia. Those who have watch ed the political trend of that country see nothing but war and paralyzed i agriculture ahead another year, if not for several years. j European countries in general are short of labor. Demobilization of armies progresses slowly and the riod for fall sowing of small grain in Europe will have passed before any material change can be made through recovery of labor from the armies. Therefore, there is going to be a continued shortage of small grain in Europe, making it probably necessary for this countrj^ to supply as much grain next year as this. But instead of the nation maintain ing its wheat acreage, it is fear ed the withdrawal of the Government’s guarantee will result in a reduction. In the South it is not only a good farm practice to ^row wheat, oats and rye enough for home Aoeds, but it is very desirable, (1) to have winter cover crops that w’ill take up the plant food that would otherwise wash out of the soil with the winter rains; (2) to provide light winter grazing for livestock; (3) to furnish in early spring some fresh cereal hay which will be the bettor if it has vetch or bur clover growing with it; (4) to furnish vegetable matter or humus to tuiai into the soil at the spring plow ing. If all the cotton and corn fields were sown to small grain in the fall, it would mean more cotton and corn, better soil, larger returns from fer tilizers and greater farm profits. Too little attention is given to ob taining good wheat, oats and rye seed; too little attention is given to pre paring a good seed bed, and too little fertilizers are used in growing the small grain crops in the South. What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. WHAT IS ACID PHOSPHATE? Raw phosphate rock is a substance In which phosphoric acid and lime are combined together in practically the same proportions in which they are found in bone, and which is k&own as phosphate of lime. In this condition the lime and the phosphoric c.cid h^d to each other with such a tight grip that the phos phorus cannot be dissolved by wa ter. It will readily b« seen that but for such a combination the''phosphc- /ua would have been dissolved out and washed to the sea before ever man caBftO to Inhabit the earth. But It has been locked up and held for us in ttite way, Just as the coal has been [held under the hills, and in the case ! of tke phosphoEus we have been given j the key for its unlocking by the use I of sulphuricj acid, which converts the insoluble rock iato a soluble form. If the soluble phosphoric acid were separated from the lime which car ries it and dissolved in water it would be much more incotivenient to handle than to leave it still combined with lime in '^he dry powder which we call acid phosphate, this lime simply serv ing the! function of a bottle to carrj' the phosphorus, and saving the ^uch larger ^expense that would be ii^olv- ed in the complete extraction o^ the phosr^iorio acid, converting it wto liquid form and provid'cg bottlesXin ti^^icli to carry it.—Monthly Bulle!
