One dollar of every twelve re
ceived by the Georgia farmer for
his products is spent for fertilizer.
This amounts to about $55 million
worth of fertilizer annually. This
is a lot of hags of fertilizer.
Do you know what Is In those
fertilizer hags the amount of ni
trogen, phosphate, and potash? Ac
cording lo a recent survey taken
In the Coastal Plain area, many
farmers do not.
The analysis number gives the
clue to what's in the bag. Take a
4—12 12 fertilizer for example.
The first number te'ls how much
nitrogen a hundred pound hag con
tains; the second number, the
amount of phosphate: and the third
number, the amount of potash. So
a 100 pound bag of 4 12 12 fer
tilizer would contain 1 pounds of
nitrogen, 12 pounds of phosphate,
and 12 pounds of potash.
Generally, the higher the analy
sis of fertilizers are. the cheaper
per pound of plant nutrients. Low
analysis fertilizer, such as 4 8 -6.
contains more filler and less plant
nutrients than a 4 12 12.
Actually, there is four times ns
much filler in a bag of 4 8 6 as
in a bag of 4 1? V*. It takes
mare bars, more freight charges
and extra labor in short, more
money to fertilize a field When
the same am-aunt of plant nutrients
us'ne 4 8 6 vather than 4 12 12
Of course, in using fertillber you
should have your soil tested to
determine which high analysis fer
tilizer to use 4 12 12. 6 12 12
P 14 14. or 5 10 15 or some
other fertilizer.

AS PLEASANT AS is the
thought of a $4.2-billion federal
surplus next year, the unvar
nished truth of the matter is that
President Eisenhower has counted
his dollars before the Federal
Treasury collected them.
For that prediction to become
fact it would be necessary for
IL I
«mtt
from S 4SO to $5lO billion this
yw r. This being an election year,
it is hardly likely that Congress
will vote to put any further bur
dci of any description on the
taxpayer and, as for the economic
future of the nation, it is any
body's guess as to whether pres
ent prosperity will continue. In
tiie latter connection, it might he
noted that on January -1 l'. S.

economic experts, that “the loom

authority on fiscal affairs, Sen
ator Harry F. Ryrd of \ irginia,
has observed that accurate budget
estimates 18 months in advance
are "extremely rare.” He points
out that a surplus also was
predicted for fiscal 1959, yet a
recession caused the Government
to close the year with a $12.5-
billion deficit, the largest in
peacetime history.
The fatal (law in the rosy
1 udget picture painted by Presi
dent Eisenhower is that the an

increased revenue collections
rather than reduced expenditures.
The proposed budget calls for an
increase of nearly $1 billion in
domestic-civilian expenditures, in
cluding some 42,000 new federal
employees, and for a new foreign
aid outlay of more than $4.1
billion.
Even assuming that federal tax;
collections would increase by
$15.7 billion to $Bl billion, it is
difficult to see how such could be
accomplished without a consider
able worsening of inflation. Since
more inflation would inevitably
mean higher government costs,
any increased government income
would quickly wind up ns in
creased outgo in the form of
requests for supplemental iappro
priations.

THE PIiOSPECT O’.' a sice
able surplus, even though only a
paper one, already has spenders
in Congress licking thein chops.
It is a foregone conclusion that
those who arc more interested in
winning the November election
than in serving the national wel
fare will use it as an excuse to
push all manner of high-sounding
spending schemes.
As much as I applaud and sup
port the President’s call for a
balanced budget and an end to
deficit spending, I cannot agree
that they can he achieved by in
creasing federal spending with
no more justification than some
one's prediction about increased
future revenue. I am convinced
that the way to go about achiev
ing those ends as well as be
ginning repayment of the na
tions’ debt is to cut rather
than increase appropriations in
all categories.
