Soviet Use of Fertilizers
Indicating the advance made in recent years in the agricultural practices of the Soviet Union, it is stated that, whereas pre-war Russia consumed 454,300 tons of fertilizer in 1913, of which 70 per cent, was imported from other countries, in 1938 the Soviet consumed 3,600,000 tons of fertilizers, the entire amount of which was home-pro-duced. In 1939 the Soviet Union plans to produce and use 4,795,000 tons of artificial fertilizers.
Effect of Drought Effects of the drought on the dairy industry are reflected by a reduction of nearly 25 per cent, in the production of butter in Australia during January as compared with January of last year. The Commonwealth Statistician, Dr Roland Wilson, announces that the total factory production of butter during January was 317,388 cwt, compared with 407,567 cwt in the corresponding month of last year.
