The farmer who looks ahead will have his soil in such shape that high crop yields will cut his production costs to the point where he can withstand a period of lower prices“The need for soil conservation has been intensified by vast wartime crop production schedules. Tlie soil's resources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash have been used up faster than they have been replaced in order to meet the wartime need for more food. Hence a gigantic soil rebuilding job lies ahead —a Job which necessarily must be the responsibility of the individual farmer.Three From Area Picked for State Conservation CampTwo girls and one boy from this area are among 106 4-H boys and girls chosen to attend the 11th annual Minnesota 4-H Conservation camp at Lake Eshquaguma in 8t.
