Nitrogen on Corn
Can Pay $4 for $1
In Increased Yield
Nitrogen and weather are the
most limiting factors for producing
corn i’n this country. And nitrogen
on corn pays off. Many experiments
have shown that it pays to use up
to 100 pounds of actual nitrogen
per acre on corn.
When you raise corn, or al
most any product, you have cer
tain “fixed” or overhead costs that
remain pretty much the same re
gardless of production efficiency.
With high yields, your fixed cost
per bushel will be relatively low
anr your profits greatest.
Nitrogen can help increase the
net profit per acre and lower the
cost per bushel of com. A com
parison of 40 and 80 pounds of ni
trogen per acre in long-term stud
ies shows this point emphatically.
The fixed cost at the 40-pound-
per rate was approximately $22.90
and at the 80 pound per acre rate
about $23.30—or a difference of
only 40c. Total cost of production
per acre was $54.07 at the low ni
trogen rate and $62.62 at the 80
pound level. The extra pounds of
nitrogen cost about $5.85 .
Yet, this ertra 40 pounds of nitro
gen increased corn yield from 54 to
74 bushels or by 20 bushels. At
$1.25 per bushel it would mean $25
more income. To put it another
way, for each dollar spent for ni
trogen an additional $4.28 in in
come was obtained. Four dollars
return for one dollar spent is cer
tainly good business in any en
terprise. Net profit was increased
from $13.43 to $29.88 per acre by
adding 40 pounds more nitrogen
per acre.
Nitrogen can be the element
that puts real meaning into the
slogan “Sound Fertilization Today
will Give a Better Tomorrow.” To
day is the time for farmers to get
ready to get their corn production
beyond the “fixed cost” barrier and
into the orbit of higher yields and
bigger profits by applying ade
quate rates of nitrogen.

World's Oldest Man
Reported Near Death
At Age 168 Years
Montena Cordoba, Columbia (AP)
lime appeared Saturday to be
running out for “the oldest man in
the world.”
Physicians said death is expected
momentarily for Javier Pereira, Co
lumbian Indian who calculated his
age at 168.
1 ereira was taken to the United
States two years ago. He was ex
amined by New York physicians
who said he could be over 150 years
old.
Small and shrunken, the aged
Indian is a contradiction to accep
ted dietary rules of lingevity. He
has lived almost exclusively o-n car
bosydrates, from the yucca plant
and rice. For almost a century he
lived from hand to mouth, his
clothes in tatters. The bare ground
was his bed.

mite!
The idea of the gigantic me
morial swept the country like wild
life, not only the states of the Con
federacy but sections which had
been most hostile to the South. A
Stone Mountain Monumental Assn,
was organized, the Venerable
family deeded the northeastern
side of the mountain for the work,
and the details of organization and
fund-raising got underway.
The carving was interrupted by
World War I, but on Jan. 19, 1924,
Borglum’s head of General Lee was
completed. Its dedication, a gala
and patriotic affair attended by
. representatives from every part of
, the nation, sparked the sale of
Stone Mountain half dollarsc.These
I commemorative coins, the federal
| government’s contribution to the
■ project, were cold at a premium
i for the benefit of the memorial.
In 1925 dissension over Borglum’s
progress split the group backing
the memorial, and the sculptor
quit. In a huff, he wrecked his su-
nerb models which represented a
fortune in effort and cost, and fled
the state.
Another sulptor, Augustus Luke-
man, was employed. He submitted
an entirely different design for the
memorial, blasted Borglum’s work
off the mountain side, and started
from scratch. Lukeman's study of
Lee’s head was unveiled in 1928,
but by this time the memorial as

Insurance Rates Are Going Up
Not because of Commissioner Cravey—not because of
the insurance companies—not because of the recent legisla
tive investigation, but because of you and me.
We, ourselves, have brought on inflation. The cost of
every commodity is greater today than it was in the “good I
old days.” Taxes, food, gas, clothing, etc. This all means
higher repairs to our property damaged by fire and by torna
do, and to repairs on our automobiles. Fancy fenders and
grills, wrap-around windshields, and in some cases $50 for
just a hub-cap. But these are only the material things. Hu
man suffering and human loss of life is also on the increase
because of our carelessness. Last year over 1,000 Georgians
were killed on our highways. Over 11,000 were injured and
there were 28,000 automobile accidents right here in Geor
gia. A shameful and a disgraceful record! We drive our auto
mobiles too fast. We forget to check our lights and to adjust
our brakes. Many of our automobiles are not in condition
to drive on our highways. We drive our cars while “under the
influence.” The result is this apalling record of death and de
struction. You and I must pay for this and that is why our |
insurance rates are going up. After all, we pay for the losses I
in the long run and not the insurance companies.
If everyone will drive more carefully — take fewer
chances—play it safe, we not only will save human lives and
suffering but have our insurance rates reduced also. It is up
to us.
