The approach of wheat and oat sow-
lag time raiees a question in the farm
er s mind as to the outlook for those
crops. It is well known that under
the stimulus of Government price an
enormous wheat crop has been pro
duced, a crop of approximately 1,200,-
000,000 bushels.
It is estimated that this country re
quires €00,000,000 bushels and that
Europe will require from 410,000,000
to 460,000,000 bushels. If these figures
prove correct, there will be a very lit
tle surplus left of the big crop of
wheat this country has grown.
Since it appears to be probable that
there will be no trouble to dispose of
the present crop the next question is,
what are the planting prospects for
other wheat growing nations?
Of course the nations south of the
equator, like Argentina and Austra
lia, that have their summer when we
are having our winter, have already
sown their fall crops, and will har
vest them near Christmas time. These
nations have, thus far, good prospects;
but they would hardly compare with
any two leading wheat-growing states
of this country; therefore, they are
not important factors.
Russia is the great granary of Eu
rope and Asia. Those who have watch
ed the political trend of that country
see nothing but war and paralyzed
agriculture ahead another year, if not
for several years.
1 OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT WHEAT AND OAT CROP
BY CHARLES A. WHITTLE,
Soli Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Georgia.
European countries in general are
short of labor. Demobilization of
armies progresses slowly' and the pe
riod for fall sowing of small grain
in Europe will have passed before any
material change can be made through
recovery of labor from the armies.
Therefore, there is going to be a
continued shortage of small grain in
Europe, making it probably necessary
for this country to supply as much
grain next year as this.
But instead of the nation maintain
ing its wheat acreage, it is fear
ed the withdrawal of the Government’s
guarantee will result in a reduction.
In the South it is not only a good
farm practice to grow wheat, oate and
rye enough for home needB, but it is
very desirable, (1) to have winter
cover crops that will take up the
plant food that wouid otherwise wash
out of the soil with the winter rains;
(2) to provide light winter grazing for
livestock; (3) to furnish in early
spring^some fresh cereal hay which
will be' the better if it has vetch or
bur clover growing with it; (4) to
furnish vegetable matter or humus to
turn into the soil at the spring plow
ing.
If all the cotton and corn fields
were sown to Bmall grain In the fall,
it would mean more cotton and corn,
better soil, larger returns from fer
tilizers and greater farm profits.
Too little attention is given to ob
taining good wheat, oats and rye seed;
too little attention is given to pre
paring a good seed bedr and too little
fertilizers are used in growing the
small grain crops in the Sonth. What
is worth; doing at all, is worth doing
well. V
WHAT IS ACID PHOSPHATE?
Raw pliosphate^rock is a substance
in which phosphoric acid and lime are
combined together in practically the
same proportions in which they are
found in bone, and which is known
as phosphate of lime.
In this condition the lime and the
phosphoric acid hold to each other
with such a tight grip that the phos
phorus cannot be dissolved by wa
ter. It will readily be seen that but
for such a combination the phospho
rus would have been dissolved out and
washed to the sea before ever man
came to inhabit the earth. But it
has been locked up and held for us in
this way, just as the coal has been
held under the hLls, and in the case
of the phosphorus we have been given
the key for its unlocking by the use
of sulphuric, acid, which converts the
insoluble' rock into a soluble form.
If the soluble phosphoric acid were
separated from the lime which car
ries It and dissolved In water it would
be much more inconvenient to handle
than to leave it still combined with
lime in the dry powder which we call
acid phosphate, this lime simply serv
ing the function of a bottle to carry
the phosphorus, and saving the much
larger expense that would be involv
ed in the complete extraction of the
phosphoric acid, converting it into
liquid form and providing bottles la
which to carry IL—Monthly Bulletin

In the fall ol 1917 fourteen grade
pigs were bought from various farm
era and placed in the care of the boys
and girls at fourteen country schools
ol Worth county. The girls of these
schools collected the waste from the
lunches each day for their pig while
the boys took turns bringing ears of
ora from home. One boy living near
.lie school fed and watered it on Sat-
ur, avs and Sundays.
ir the spring of 1918 the fourteen
p.gs were sold at auction at the coun
ty site for $590.00, and the money was
ilwided up and used to improve the
headings and groundB of the various
6'tools.
/iter such a signal success the
L'./unt.v superintendent of schools ap-
,„. M e'd before the board of education
mp [all and secured from them the
! W ith which to purchase tour-
J„n purebred pigs. The county
;.g,-nl was appointed to buy and de
,i (fI the pigs and to instruct the
a.1 nlars in the feeding and care of
i.'.em With the exception of two
pj,, s j pal were fed some milk and pea-
mu cake, all were entirely raised on
corn and iunch basket waste, gaining,
on an average, Cl.8%.
School being over, the pigs were
carried to the county site a few days
ago. where, at another auction similar
to the one of the previous year, $1,-
485.09 was taken in. The amount bor
rowed from the school board, $292.60,
was paid Immediately, and the remain
der was again turned over for the im
provement of the fourteen school
buildings and grounds.
The young pcoj le of the various
schools, in order to secure as high r.
price as possible, spotted each man
attending the sale from their locality
•who did not bid on their particulat
hog. Spirited bidding resulted, and
eventually every hug was bought at
a fair price by some individual of tht
community in which it was raised.
