REP. At last week's fertilizer update meeting, U.C.O. Specialist, Jim Hodgins pointed out why bulk blend analyses are at- tracting an increasing number of farmers. A ton of 10-10-10 fer- tilizer supplies 200 pounds of actual nitrogen, 200 pounds of actual phosphorous and 200 pounds of actual potash. These nutrients can be supplied by mixing 455 pounds of 18-46-0, 275 pounds of 46-0-0 and 340 pounds of 0-0-60. This mix of 1,060 pounds has the same nutrient content as Fred Vodden, Hol -Den Farms, Clinton (left) became a member of United Breeders "Starlite 200 Club" at the unit's annual meeting. His cow sired by the United Holstein bull Roybrook Starlite, produced as a six year old in ten months 11005 kgs. of milk, 426 kgs. of butterfat, which is more than 200 percent of the established average for her age group. Vodden was presented with a colour photo of the bull by Harold Honey of Seagrave, Ontario who served on the unit selection committee when the Starlite bull was purchased.. 2,000 potLnds of 10-10-10. The difference in weight is a limestone filler which really adds little nutritive value. The smaller amount of material results in lower spreading costs, lower nutrient costs and faster service from the dealer's standpoint. There is also the added advantage of being able to prepare a special mix that isn't available as a standard analysis. HOW THE SOIL TEST WORKS Any discussion on soil fertility begins with the principles of the soil test. Fertility trials are carried out regularly on farms and research stations in Ontario. The results of these trials are used to calculate the nutrients that must be added to the nutrients in the soil in order to produce the most economic yield. In theory, more nutrients might produce a greater yield but the cost of the extra fertilizer would be greater than the value of the,extra prop. The soil is tested for phosphorus and potash. Each year phosphorus and potash are released from the soil particles and can be used for crop • production: -"The soil test measures these nutrients. The soil is also tested for PH or lime content and magnesium. Most Huron soils do not need Lime and magnesium values are also high even though it appears that high soil values of magnesium do not insure adequate values in crops. The soil is not tested for nitrogen because the test news farm news Business agreement can be useful BY J.J. HAGARTY, AREA COORDINATOR AND FARM MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST A young man slumped down in a chair next to my desk. He said, "Did you ever have the feeling of running alongbe bank of a river trying to catch up to a boat and the faster you run the faster the boat moves? I've been working for salary on dad's farm for five years. And in that time land has tripled in value. One tractor now sells for the price of a 100 acre farm five years ago." He was a good com- municator! I could see his point and, understand his feelings. So I asked, "Does dad know how you feel?" He no longer was such a good communictor! He didn't know what to say. He looked uncomfortable. After some fumbling he made what was to him a factual statement. "A son just doesn't talk to dad about taking over the farm." It takes a lo( of courage to open up some subjects. It used to be a sign of courage to ask a girl for a dance. And then to ask her if she would like a ride . home, was even more courageous. At some point along this line of brave deeds you faced the risk of getting your face slapped. The funny thing later on was finding out she was hoping all along that you would ask.

Maybe dad says to himself, "I'11.wait until he las the courage to ask about entering into the farm business." It may be one way dad has of testing son's maturity. Today, very few farms are sold outright to family. The process is more one of evolution than revolution. .Evolution fits into the scheme of things around a farm. Change is gradual and growth - of plants, animals •and people is a natural thing. However, it is useful to have some check points in the system. There needs to be some way of setting goals and testing progress. A farm business agreement between two generations is a useful tool. Each contributes individually or jointly owned assets, labour and management to the business. Net income is split on some agreed percentage. The agreement is a useful means in the transfer of farm assets while the junior member is ac- cumulating assets and working into the business and the senior member is phasing out of the business. + + -- Food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food say fresh Ontario carrots, available topped in plastic bags, are a great buy. The plastic bags help protect the carrots from bruising extend their shelf life and enable the consumer to check the quality and size of the contents before pur- chasing.

Nitrogen is recom- mended according to the crop to be grown. For a crop like corn, the farmer has the option of in- creasing the nitrogen recommendation if his experience indicates that his land will produce more than 100 bushels per acre! One hundred pounds of actual N could be con- sidered sufficient for a 100 bushel crop but one would apply an extra 10 pounds of N if his ex- perience indicated that his yield potential was 110 bus. The "N" recom- mendation would be increased up to another 30 pounds if the nitrogen was broadcast before planting in early May as there are greater losses with early application. The test result coming back from the lab is adjusted to take into consideration plowed sod nutrients :Huron farm report or manure applied to the field. A good half legume sod can supply the 100 pounds .of nitrogen required to grow a corn crop. Two tons per acre of poultry manure is equivalent to nine tons per acre of hog manure. These amounts of manure have a nitrogen rating of 25 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre when applied in the fall and winter. The figure increases to 50 pounds with spring application and to 60 „if - the manure is applied'in the spring and im- mediately covered with soil. Cattle manure is similar in nitrogen and phosphorus content but has three times (80 pounds per acre) the potash content of hog and poultry manure.
