How much fertilizer should I
-plow down? When can I apply
nitrogen and be fairly sure I
won’t lose it? Do I still -have to
iput fertilizer in the row df • I
plow down enough for the crop?
When you are pushing fertiliz
er -applications higher and higher
in an effort to get the most ef
ficient use from your land, these
questions, and lots more, start
bothering you. Your dollar in
vestment in fertilizer is ’pretty
high, and • a mistake can mean
-the difference between 'profit and
loss.
First thing, let’s take a look
at ihow you dan handle some of
your plant food elements. Nitro
gen is one of 'tlie real crop
pushers if it is used right. Here
are some recommendations on
ihow to apply it.
Plow It Down ,
On corn, the experts say that
one can make the Ibest use of
nitrogen foy plowing it down.
Side-dressing before the last
cultivation is also a good way to
apply it. Proper depth for nitro
gen applied with corn is four to
six -inches.
On Wheat, topdress with nitro
gen any time after snow and
frost is gone. Even with oats,
topdressin-g about six weeks after
planting -gave increased yields in
Michigan tests.
Another nitrogen use is to give
an early spring kick to pastures.
One place where you should
use nitrogen in the row at plant
ing time is on corn grown on
.poorly-drained soil. When you
use large amounts of nitrogen in
the row on -corn, deduct the
amount from the sidedressed or

St. Patrick’s W.A.
The W.A. of * St. Patrick’s
Church met -at 'the home of (Mrs.
Raymond Greenlee -recently. A
devotional period was conducted
'by Mrs. H. Davis -assisted by Mrs.
Harvey Latta and several mem
bers. ‘
A business meeting, followed.
Mrs. Robert Mills invited the
-ladies of the congregation to the
rectory at Kirkton for a joint
■meeting of the W.A. and the
Guild in April.
The remainder of the* after
noon ’was spent in quilting.

■plow-down application.
Agronomists generally
mend that you use nitrogen only
for spring application. About the
only exception they make on fall
application is for very poorly-
drained, heavy-textured soils.
Even then, If you can wait for
spring to use the nitrogen, they
recommend -that you do so, since
the crop will make maximum use
of spring applications;
Now for. phosphate, broadcast
applications -can be made any
where in the rotation, preferably
before small grain or iliay seed
ing and generally on corn.
Don’t Apply On Frozen Soil
So far as actual timing, both
phosphate -and potash -can be* ap
plied to the soil any time that it
can either ibe worked in or wash
ed in with a rain. Authorities
recommend, however, that you
do not apply either on frozen
ground;' since you may get loss
through runoff .with a heavy
rain.
Potash again -can be apiplied
at any time in the rotation, but
they recommend that you -plow
it down for corn and use it as a
topdressing for meadow or hay
crops.
They caution that you should
not apply heavy potash treat
ments just before taking off hay
and pasture crops. They say you
wil-l get excessive potash con
sumption iby the plants and will
not get iimuch return from your
fertilizer expenditure. They also
note that .most hay and pasture
crops are heavy potash feeders.
'HowAver, .your soil should have
adequate .levels of potash if you
want to iget the greatest yield
from your liay and pasture crops.
(How about fall fertilizer ap
plications? -Generally speaking,
with the exception’ of nitrogen,
you can get good results with
fail application. Agronomists say
that fall is a good .time to apply
.bdth phosphate and potash on
anything ibut sandy soils.
•For our .fall-plowing area both
potash and phosphate plowed
down will give excellent (results.
With phosphate, it is generally
nfore profitable to plow it down
in the fall, where you can, than
to broadcast in the .spring.
