Farmers may be able to help
their city neighbors solve a pro-
blem and, at the same time,
obtain an effective organic fer-
tilizer.
One of the biggest problems
at municipal sewage treatment
plants is disposal of the sludge
produced 123, the treatment plant,
the cheapest and Most 'dff ective
disposal method is hauling the li-
quid sludge (averaging 5% solids,
90% liquid) in tank trucks and
spreading it on agricultural land.
A farmer receiving a half-inch-
deep application of slulge On his
land would receive approximately
250 pounds nitrogen, 100 pounds
phosphorus and 20 pounds of
potassium per acre.
How does a farmer get sludge
for his land? Some cities haul
and spread liquid sludge, others
hire a contractor. to do the job
for them. The city of Guelph
hauls and spreads all of its
liquid sludge on farmland at a
cost to the farmer of about $5
per acre for a half-inch-deep
application. A farmer in Penn-
sylvania contracted with a nearby
town to haul all the liquid sludge
from one treatment plant and dis-
pos e of it on his farm.. The
arrangement resulted in more ef-
ficient use of his farm labor,
about $5,000 per year revenue
from the city, and a free sup-
ply of plant nutrients.
Soil management practices
are about the same for sludge-
treated land as for land receiv-
ing chemical fertilizer or
manure. Annual soil tests
should be made so that sludge
application rates can be adjusted
to provide adequate, but not
excessive, plant nutrients. These
tests will also indicate if sup-

plemental potassium fertilizer or
lime is needed.
There have been a few reports
of zinc and copper toxicity due
to the use of sludge on cropland.
These cases generally occur
where sludge has been applied
at excessive rates or over along
period of time. Allowing sludge-
treated soil to become acid also
increases the chances of toxi'L
cities.
There have been no reported
cases of disease transmission to
farm workers or ,livestock due
to the use of sludge on farm-
land. Sludge is generally recom-
mended for row crops, pasture,
hay crops, and fruit or vegeta-
ble crops that are cooked before
eating.
Farmers living near towns
with sewage treatment plants
could benefit themselves and
their city neighbors (the farmers'
ultimate customers) by helping
return this waste product to the
land.

BY THE OLD TIMER
I remember as a child growing
up ii Massachusetts. During the
cold winter months we used to
go ice fishing with my father. We
had a pond behind the house.
I remember the fun we had when
the flag jumped up and we ran
to see 'what we had caught. On
Sunday afternoons I remember
my mother making fudge in our
home. We also enjoyed getting
apples from our cellar and put-
ting them on the black castiron
stove to warm up. • The aroma
of those delicious apples and that
great fudge is one of my fondest
memories. It seems that back
then we had many exciting days
and the interesting part about
those days was they didn't cost
much either.

used as valuabl4 fertilizer
