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!
