figures show that 82 million
tons of feed grains were con
sumed domestically during
October-March, largely as
the result of increased live
stock production and libeial
rate of feeding per animal
This is 10 million tons mo
re than a year earlier In ad
dition, more than six million
tons were exported, up near
ly a fourth from exports in
the same months of 1957-58

TO GROW BIG CROPS—'
You Start with Lime
A'l roads of farming lead
back to the soil, but" there ares
other roads to travel When
the soil is reached many oth
er highways are visible; the
nitrogen road, phosphorus
road, organic matter road, etc
These roads all meet at one
common intersection or focal
point, soil acidity. Our farm
ing system is based primarily
on whether we have done a
good job of liming our soil.
In the beginning other mat
ters are' relatively unimpor
tant. Why discuss the merits
of Ranger alfalfa versus Buff
alo a’falfa’ Neither will grow
on an acid soil Why discuss
the merits of Guernsey cows
versus - Holstein cows’ You
can’t feed them properly om
an acid soil. There isn’t much 1
merit in talking about high
analysis fertihzer, when it
won’t pay it applied to a field
that never received its share
of lime. Lime isn’t the end,
but it certainly js the begin
ning.
If you haven’t felt the cost
price squeeze in farming to
day you no doubt have heard
about it It simply adds up
to this it costs a lot of mon
ey to farm today. Our invest
ment is great per acre and
our returns leave much to be
desired Perhaps we haven’t
thought much about the old>
business formula yield times
the selling price, minus the
cost of production equals net
profit Individually we can’t
do much about selling price
or fixed costs of production.
If these pai’ts of our formula
stay fairly constant, the only
way to increase net profits is
to increase yield per acre.
Now, let’s figure out how to
increase yields on our aver
age Pennsylvania farm The
first step wou'id be . . lam
right back where I started.
