ripening very fast. Edrfy planted
corn is matured in all sections,
and harvesting Will begin in
September.
From a national standpoint, the
outlook is not much different
from that of the past year (1946-
47). It is estimated there will (be
a five to 10 per cent increase in
nitrogen, eight to 10 per cent in
crease in .phosphate,. and two to
four per cent increase in potash
supplies—an overall increase of
seven to 10 per cent.

The cotton 'crop, like tobacco
stands, was ' reported “fair” to
i^good”, with official counts indi
cating that boll weevils are do
ing considerable damage. Weevil
infestation is particularly heavy
in the southern coastal counties
and in the lower Fiedmo^t areas
Prcqpects indicate a “very
good” peanut crop in the north
ern coastal counties, although
much depends on weather from
now until harvesting starts. Foli
age is very good, and “.pegging
down'”., is . progressing
tofily. -.
W. t. A. OVIinor, assistant Secre
tary of (Agriculture, "estimated
that we will have something over
3,440,000 tons of plant food, as
compared with something over
3,000,000 tons this past year.

The clear point w the outlook
is that we don’t have enough fer
tilizer, and it does not look as
if we will have enough'in the
next 12 months. Every year we
have a little more nitrogen,-a
little more phosphate and. a little
more potash* and overy year wfe
seem to have a bigger .gap between
supply ('and demand. 'At least, the
gap stays just as big.
