Waste Materials Make Fertilizer INSURANCE Fire Insurance And All Other Kinds of Insurance In cluding Life Insurance. HUGH C. BROWN, McCORMICK, S. C. Clemson, Oct. 5. — With many valuable fertilizers cut off because of the war, farmers can turn to •onservation of fertilizer materirls from minor sources and help re lieve shortages, says H. A. Woorle, agronomist of the Clemson Exten sion Service. Composts or mixtures are con stantly being made through i' e rotting of leaves, twigs, roots. ' • d other organic matter. Vai.ons substances may help supply xr- ganic matter and also often sup ply nitrogen, phosphoric acid, pot ash, and other elements needed by - growing plants. Synthetic manure is made by treating organic matter to hasten decay. Decay is due to bacterial action in the presence of moisture and warmth. For rapid action bacteria must have a balanced food of nitrogen, carbohydrates, phosphorus, and other minerals!. The acid of decay must also be neutralized. Forest leaves, pine needles, grain straw, grass, corn stalks, and sim ilar material furnish the carbohy drate food for bacteria. By supr plying the nitrogen as sulphate of ammonia, phosphorus as acid phosphate, and neutralizing the acids with limestone bacterial de cay can be hastened to consume about one-fourth to one-third of the usual time. The proportions of these ma terials are approximately 60 pounds of ammonium sulphate, 50 pounds of limestone, 20 pounds of acid phosphate, and 20 pounds of muriate of potash. Strict adher ence to these proportions is not necessary. The only caution is not to use more than twice as much limestone as sulphate of am monia. A complete fertilizer may be used instead of this mixture. -xx- “The struggle to survive in Colonial times, the Revolution it self, were farmers’ wars. Early America was a nation of farmers, fighting for their freedom. To day, as in every other war, farm ers are fighting with guns as well as plows. Farm families have their full share of sons, fathers, and brothers on the battle line. Those who are left on the farm are waging the battle of food. The whole Nation is thankful that their battle has gone so well this year.”—Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard. “Farmers have made greater im mediate contributions to our de fense effort than any other group in America.”—R.
