Plant Food Needed 



ESTIMATES made by the University 

 of Illinois College of Agriculture 

 show that at least I6I/2 million 

 acres of Illinois farm land need appli- 

 cations of rock phosphate fertilizer. It 



will take 8 million tons of rock phos- 

 phate to satisfy the needs of the land. 

 The estimate shows that 1,729,351 

 tons of phosphate were applied from 

 1944 through 1947. This was enough 

 to take care of the needs of 3V2 "'''" 

 lion acres of farm land. 



Audit Head Returns 



C. E. Strand has returned as manager 

 of the Illinois Auditing Association on 

 request of the board of directors of the 

 auditing company. Strand has been em- 

 ployed as interim comptroller of the Illi- 

 nois Farm Supply Company since Sep- 

 tember of 1948. 



Has Land Hit Peak? 



Are land prices at a peak ? Many think 

 the peak has been passed. But this point 

 of view has not yet been confirmed by 

 official government reports. The rate of 

 climb has slowed down and March 1 re- 

 ports should tell the story. In Illinois 

 prices for farm land have increased only 

 about one per cent during the four 

 months prior to Nov. 1 .
