Mr. farmers have gradually in creased their rate of fertilization • • • • • • • • • Prospects point to low corn prices again in -1972. Corn grow- ers should look at all possible ways of cutting their production costs in order to increase their returns, says C, K. Stevenson, Soils Division, Ridgetown Col- lege fof Agricultural Technology. Since fertilizer usually rep- resents the highest cash cost, growers should look at their fertilization program to see if they can reduce ,colts. The best 'way to determine the amount of fertilizer needed is wa...soll test. It is usually best to sample`your 'soil in fall •for a spring-seeded crop. However, there is still time to '.do it this spring. It takes approximately two weeks from the time the sample reaches the laboratory until the results are sent to the grower. One problem, says Mr. Stevenson, is that growers often disregard the results after they receive them. Because the rec- ommendations are different from their program they are reluct- ant to follow them. An increasing number of soil tests show high test levels for phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, there is often little or no need for these elements to be applied. The total supply of nutrients in the soil does not come from chemical fertilizers. These. chehlical fertilizers supplement the natural",supply of nutrients. If the soil supply Is low, supple- mentation with fertilizer will be high, in order to'obtain optimum yields. However, if the soil tests high in plant nutrients, yields will not be increased by adding more. Through the years, many Stevenson *commented that once the soil has been built up fert- ilizer should be cut back. He pointed out that soils which check files test very low in phosphorus and potassium, would cost nearly $24 per acre for fertilizer to pro- duce optimum corn yields. On a medium test soil the cost would drop to less than $17 per Farmers should check all their tile systems at least two• or three times a year .says M. Sojak, Engineering Division, Ridgetown College of Agricul- tural Technology, and, he em- phasized that, "The most' im- portant inspection is in the springtime". ,. The most important part of any tile drainage system is -the outlet. In the spring, flowing ice in the drainage ditch of --ice and snow sliding down the ditch bank may'have damaged or pulled out the outlet pipe. Surface water run-off may erode the ditchbank and undermine the tile outlet. Rodent guards 'may have pulled off or rusted away. Any damage' •of ti.s type must be repaired at one g or the situation will det- eriorate he said. 'Ditches which have silted for a long time should be cleaned out to allow free outlet for the drainage system. A system with a continually submerged outlet will deposit silt in the tile and reduce its efficiency and life. Very few commercial crops send their roots down into tile drains. However it does occur to some extent, he noted. These roots die during or after the growing season. Dead roots may • clog tile outlets at the rodent guard during spring runoff. These guards should be cleared to en- sure proper operation. Wash-ins or blowouts An drainage systeps must be. repairea,immediately.
