If you're a motorist, you'd better be ready if you don't want to exceed the family budget for car repairs, the Chicago Motor club has warned. U. S. Weather Bureau records show that at this time last year the first spell of freezing weather hit the midwest on Oct. 25. The club pointed out that you may avoid inconvenience, annoyance and delay in starting your car in cold weather if you will: 1. Drain and flush the cooling system; check all hose connections; tighten clamps and add standard brand ^ti-freeze solution. 2. Check ignition system, distributor points; reset timing; clean or replace spark plugs. 3. Test battery for full charge; clean terminals and tighten cables. 4. Check and adjust fuel system. 5. Apply lightweight grade oil and grease. This week if you will bear with me 1 will try to give you a slight discussion on nitrogen. The subject comes up as a result of the claims of the organic farmer. , The organic farmer is on the right track, but maybe her takes a few things for granted that are hard to prove. My name may be Johnny Mlarblehead, the big aand and gravel man from Stony Point I don't take anything for granite, but I was taught young how important net income can be. I remember when the picture show on Saturday night cost only a dime, but I didn't go, because dad dldnt have the dime to give me. I read in an organic farming book the statement that the farmer should definitely set a time each day when he should take his wheel barrow, wagon or truck or other conveyance and go down the road and through the woods to pick up all refuse of an organic nature and take it home and put it in his compost pile. Now anyone who would recommend a practice as unproductive as that will make other recommendations equally as unproductive I'm sure. Wouldn't a pound of pork chops cost a pretty penny under such a production schedule? The main reason why pork chops are as cheap as they are is that the farmer accomplishes so much more by putting the necessary minerals like lime, phosphate and potash on his soil according to the test, in most cases, and raises acres and acres of nitrogenstoring legumes which he plows the chief are even available to the public in this country. In countries where a faranr baa topgo down the road and Unjmu^i the woods picking up eld weal stems, fallen leaves and other re* fuse in his wheel barrow, the people don't even get pork chops at any price. I'd like to insert here "Keep your darn hands out of thai corn picker while It is running." Nitrogen Is a chemical element that is very plentiful in nature. It is generally in a color!--, tasteless gas form in the air. They say there are 35,000 tons of It floating overhead per acre. It has other forms, too. The one we are most Interested in is the form thai plants can use. In other words when it is incorporated hi the organic matter in the soiL The form most of us are least interested la is when It is incorporated la T.N.T. (tri-nltro-toluene) a very explosive substance used in haute, shells, etc. The form irt are most familiar with is that In fertiliser. We should not be particularly interested In this form, because It is too high priced, especially to furnis^ all or even a sizeable quantity at nitrogen we need in farming. Nitrogen makes plants 'greptit You know that most plants thai are pale to yellow are ntit vera healthy. Herein lies the value « the stuff. Chlorophyl in thq ltevtt of plants Is indicated by do# green color. Its Job'la to c&aBf* minerals, air and water into plaat tissue and Its workshop 'Is the leaf. In the animal kingdom the stomach is the leaf and the digestive juiees are the chlorophyll. Soils low in organic matter are generally low In nitrogen fend are considered poor, because they don't grow big healthy green plants. Our job. on most tf the farms in the county is very clear -- very simple. I have been qn so many fill wwytMay crows big **d -«*fea Mar the tfMMlnga. but %hea ye* stasey out away from them the soil gets progressively poorer. This Is because the organic matter over the years was harvested on the back fields, hauled to the barn and fed and the manure got only part way back out to the place where it grew up. The organic farmer says fertilizers are detrimental to the soil because they kill worms and bacteria. Perhaps so, but not to the extent that the fact carries any economic significance. Many worms live anyway. If minerals are in short supply for best crop production, it is much more economic to furnish them by the use of fertilizers than it is to hunt fallen leaves, weed stems, etc., with some In them. Herein lies the price of pork chops within reach of the average American citizen. Howard 8parlin, Algonquin, certainly has a fine poultry project. He has one laying house of Holland whites--much like leghorns. All houses are whitewashed, clean, airy and the hens are all happy.
