Abstract
The disposal of the settleable solids or sludge produced by sewage treatment plants is a major operating problem. Air-drying, incineration, use as fill, and other means of disposal for sludges have been discussed by others. The writer's plea is for more general use of sewage sludge, properly prepared as a soil conditioner, as well as for its fertilizer value. Failure to make use of it is a waste of a natural resource.
