Illinois Farmers Increase Rations For Hungry Soils
Illinois farmers raise use of commercial fertilizers with 40,673 tons applied in 1939 up from 36,132 tons in 1938. Most tonnage comes from 33 analyses, while rock phosphate use climbs to 49,016 tons. Experts note higher analysis mixes and the need for phosphate replacement, but emphasize basic soil management and crop rotation as foundations before relying on supplements.
