To do this would require 180,000,000 tons of phosphate and there isu 't that amount of tonnage in the world. Now, suppose ail the farmers in Illinois would begin to ume phosphate and try to cover one-quar- ter of theis- farin each year. This would require 7,500,000 tonas annually. This fiqure is nearly twice the amotunt of our deposit. Lake County ha,% 250,000 acres under cultiva- tion, and if ail the farmners would begin to apply phosphate at the rate of one ton on one-fourth of their fanai each year, they would require 62,500 tons annua]ly, for a period. of 24 years of four-year periods, ,to get their laid in its original condition.
