This has been due to many factors, important a- motig which, is the supply of well balanced, avaible plantfood at the time the crop neds it. As a general rule, the use of farm manure has. been discouraged because of its tendency to produce pronged beets. Many Hur­ on farmers have chosen fields reck­ oned to be in a high state of fertil­ ity, but in many cases the yields have not been kept up. Much fertilizer has been uSed with varying results, hence, the question arose; “What is the best fertilizer for Sugar Beets?” To get at some definite information on this problem, the Department of Chemis- tty, Ontario Agricultural College, in co-operation with the Huron office of the Department of Agricultural, located some tests on the farm of Mr. D. Hodgson, near Centralia, • where three types of fertilizers were tested. The soil of this farm is a silty clay loam. The prevailing system of rota­ tion is followed and the soil is given good preparation. The results are as follows: Treatment Yield 0 2-12-6 2-12-10 2-16-6 Gain . per acre 10.10 tons 13.23 tons 13.98 tons 12.43 tons tons tons tons figures are aS -0- 2-12-6 10-8 13.20 follows: 2-16-6 12.60 2-12-10 — 14.30 10.10 13.23 12.43' 4 tons per 3.13 3.88 2.33 The fertilizers were applied at the rate of 250 lbs. per acre, "at the time the beets were sown. A similar test was conducted on Mr. Hodgson’s farm last year, and. the results were very closely parallel to those of 1935. The Year 1934 1935 (The above figures are in acre.) These results indicate fairly clearly that Mr. Hodgson’s soil requires- a generous amount of • potash* in ad­ dition to a fairly high amount of phosphorous. .Mr. Hodgson’s, tests for the past two years have aroused considerable local interest. He and his neighbors will be especially interested in the figures of the yields obtained.
