LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR LUNCH (See R ecipes Below) FALL LUNCHEON THIS WEEK’S MENU If w e A m ericans paid as m uch a t tention to our soils as we do to our c a rs or radios, the m a tte r of soil fertility would not be the m ystic business we often think it is. It is high tim e we learned a little about soil ch em istry — at least enough so th a t chem ical te rm s such as calcium , nitrogen, phosphorus and potash a re no m ore difficult to com prehend than oth er te rm s like ca rb u re to r, differential, superhetro- dyne, static, radio beam . T here is nothing really m y steri ous about the elem ents which com bine to prom ote soil fertility. C alcium , or lim e, th a t serves as p a rt of the growing p lan t’s protein- m aking activity and is needed so badly by m ost soils before legum es ca n be grown, is so com m on it ought to be a household word on every A m erican farm . N itrogen, the distinguishing ele m en t in protein for which all form s of life struggle, is getting sc a rc e r in our soils and should be m ore fully ap p reciated for its elusiveness. Phosphorus, which en ters into com bination with nitrogen to m ake pro tein, the se c re t stuff of life, growth and reproduction, m ust likewise be added to other item s about which we m ust fam iliarize ourselves fu r th er. Phosphorus is likewise becoming m ore deficient in our soils, in spite of the fact th a t this country has m ore and la rg e r deposits of phosphatic m a te ria l than any other in the world. We m u st learn m ore, too, about potash which is the balance w heel th a t prom otes healthy grow th, enables the growing plant b e tte r to use th e nitrogen supply and develop resistan ce to disease. Like the others, potash has been steadily drained out of our soils. It is fitting th a t all of us should m ak e closer acq u ain tan ce with the foundations of our farm crops and, in turn, the foundation of our very bodies—nam ely, the soil itself and the elem ents which m ake it pro ductive.
