Now we face -an age of having to live on by increasing the . yields. “Vertical, Farming”, this has been called. And in this, nitrogen is to play a major part. Our government is working on it. By 1955 it is planned for our | potash production to be increased j by 51 per cent, phosphate by 55 1 percent, and nitrogen for fertilizers: by 70 percent. There you have it— i ; nitrogen, the growth element. It| constitutes over three-fourths of the air we breathe. And it largely; provides the food we are nourished by, too. „ . Nitrogen. Mighty important stuff. And an all-wise Providence has provided an inexhaustible supply of it. It is in the air, and not so 1 easy to get. But past ages have gotten some of it and left it in our 1 mines and soils. It’s hard to hold though, and it is constantly getting ( away from us. But science is find-1 ing new ways of getting it from, the air and into the soil, where it can 'work for us, along with that ' team, of other elements there that i spell out production. Nitrogen! We breathe it; and we eat it. Much of Clemson's work has to do with it, and your county i agent demonstrates tho^e findings I-in the field. And much of the dif-1 ference between a big yield and a: i small one, a profitable- yield and a loss, a successful farmer and a i failure, lies in just how effectively I nitrogen is used. I repeat. Nitrogen is mighty jm- ' portant stuff! Did You Know— Our poultry business in South Carolina is not large at any one | place. It is mostly a farm flock business. Yet, taken as a whole, it ' runs into considerable commercial | importance. Our ht»g business has 1 grown a lot in the past 25 years. ' Yet our chicken and egg business | last year ran five million dollars i ahead of hogs. | Dairying has made ather phe- ' nomenal growth in the state in re- ( cent years. Yet farm marketing of , chickens, eggs, and turkeys last ^ year almost doubled in value those | from dairy products. Cattle too have come to the front in recent years. But the low’ly egg accounted for 31 percent more dollar income in 1951 than' cattle. Chickens eggs, and turkeys mar- I keted amounted to a little over 3 million dollars more than market- igs of all cattle and dairy products. _ [ ‘jVyt,, with all of this, we are not products. With our fapIcTThdus' Nitrogen Nitrogen, is mighty important stuff to every living thing, special ly us. When other forms of life over populate their place, starvation and Crowding thin them down to unhappv countries for a long, nearly self-sufficient with poultry time.

He was awfully good to me, and I shared just about everything I had with him. He had nothing to share but his kindly disposition, and he was generous with that. I went barefooted for about sev en months of the year, Zeke prac tically the whole year through. Therefore his feet were tougher .than mine in the spring. It was j then that the wild dewberries rip ened. Although he was no bigger than I, he would carry me through I the biers when we were making! ou rounds on the dewberries. And) he would go into the hard places | and get‘ the finest berries, bring; them out, and always share them' with me. One summe Zeke got warts all j over his hands and feet. His mother! switched him for playing with frogs. For that was a firm belief apiong them, that only toads caused warts. That belief was well grounded in both of us, and we really hadn’t been playing with frogs, although we wanted to. But nevertheless he got his whipping, for they just knew he had, for what else could have caused those warts? His grandmother was the old ‘conjure “used for them”, and they soon woman of the community. She went away. That consisted of mak ing a cross on his foot with the back of a sooty frying pan and mumbling a few strange sounds. Guess the things would have soon gone Away anyway. But when they did, we kids believed more than, eyer in the old conjure woman. Gene Anderson’s Closing Out Sale! Final Reductions! PRICES SLASHED TILL IT HURTS!
