, ■templated program, would use in 

 large measure, concentrated ma- 

 ■ ;;' terials doubling or tripling the plant

 ;,; in phosphatic materials but without 

 ' greatly expanding the mixing ma- 

 chinery or other facilities needed in 

 getting the materials to the farmer. 

 III. PROJECTED RESULTS OF PRO 

 POSED PROGRAM. 



1. Measured in the terms of phosphoric 

 acid, there is now being applied to 

 the land approximately 1,500,000 

 tons. The Land Grant College Com- 

 mittee reports that this volume 

 should be increased to a tonnage of 

 3,400,000 tons. 



Such a quantity of phosphatic ma- 

 terial will require all existing super 

 . phosphate and approximately thirty 

 ..: additional triple super phosphate 

 . plants of capacity to 50,000 tons. 

 The industry, therefore, in addi- 

 tion to any plants contemplated in 

 the proposed measure must develop 

 and operate over thirty new plants 

 of 50,000 tons capacity. 



2. The existing eleven hundred mixers 

 of fertilizer materials must continue 

 to carry on their mixing operations 

 to utilize existing super phosphate 

 facilities and also to utilize and dis- 



tribute the proper additional ton- 

 nage of concentrated material. It is 

 probable that the number of mixing 

 plants must be increased especially 

 in the Middle Western area. 



3. Under the proposed educational pro- 

 gram the farmer will be able to ob- 

 tain information as to the analysis 

 of his soils, the needed fertilizer ma- 

 terials and an interpretation of re- 

 search and extension men of the 

 effect of new materials upon his soil 

 and his crops. 



The operator of a family sized 

 farm will be able, for the first time, 

 to have translated adequately to him 

 what his soil needs are and what the 

 effect of fertilizer materials are upon 

 his soil and crops. 



4. Under the proposed program the 

 land for the first time, looking at it 

 from a national viewpoint, will have 

 along with other conservation meas- 

 ures a restoration of soil fertility and 

 a program that under right man- 

 agement will maintain soil fertility. 



5. The projected program will make it 

 fHDssible for the average farmer to 

 adjust his production in line with 

 effective demand and utilize land as 

 occasion may require for producing 



cash crops or for producing soil 

 building crops. 

 6. The educational program will help 

 farmers use their acres in a sound 

 land use program by producing 

 more economic crop units through 

 higher yields of better quality crops 

 on fewer acres. This will give an 

 opportunity for better soil conserva- 

 tion on erosive land and also prevent 

 a general soil deterioration. 

 The projected program, if carried 

 into action, will guarantee to the 

 people of the United States an ade- 

 quate supply of food and fiber and 

 will assure the consuming public im- 

 proved nutritive diets. 



7. 



The Savoy Grain and Coal ComtMny will 



provide a fire protection for the village of 

 Savoy when it completes a proposed 12,000 

 gallon reservoir. The company, which op- 

 erates one of the largest and most modern 

 grain elevators in Illinois is undertaking the 

 project solely to furnish fire protection, ac- 

 cording to President L. G. Johnston, Cham- 

 paign. 



Patronage dividends amounting to $9,000 



have been paid to members of the Cham 

 paign County Grain Association. Russell 

 Maddock is manager. On nearly a half 

 million bushels of grain, there was a shrink 

 of only 42 bushels, which is buying and 

 selling grain on a very close margin.
