Fall Fertilizer Plow Down ? ?
This message is brought to you as a public service, through the

What are the pros and cons of •
fall plow -down for application of
fertilizer? If you were one of those
who had difficulty getting delivery
of fertilizer when you needed it
last spring, then you'll be quick
to spot one of the big advantages
of fall plow -down. It can get one
of next spring's time-consuming
jobs ot.t of the way now.
Only apply nitrogen in the fall
for residue decomposition. If
more than necessary is added, re-
gardless of its form, you will lose
a good deal of nitrogen over the
winter. Some will evaporate into
the atmosphere and some will
leach away into the ground with
water so that by spring you will
have a lot less nitrogen in the
soil than you apply now.
Where soil fertility is reasonably
high, drill in fertilizer with small
grains on land to be seeded in the
spring. However, if soil test val-
ues are low, plow -down phosph-
ate and potash when you work the
land this fall.
For corn land, however, it is
a different story. Plow -down is
preferable to disking in fertilizer
in the spring for the phosphorus
and potash portion of the corn
fertilizer. With the bulk of the
P205 and K20 applied now and
plowed down, you can use a min-
imum of starter fertilizer in the

corn planter and side dress with
nitrogen in the spring.
It is a good time now to get
the best results from application
of P205 and K20 on legume mea
dows, but you can still apply it in
the spring. August or early Sept-
ember is the best time to top dress
alfalfa or other legumes.
You see, potash helps to make
the alfalfa plant more winter
hardy, but to do this the plant
must take up the potash during
its rest period in September. This
is the month when it is so import-
ant to leave a good top on alfalfa
so the plant will have as many
leaves as possible, to manufact-
ure food to stock up its winter
reserves. Plenty of available
potash right now will help the
plant. Late September applicat-
ions aren't in time to help much
this fall, but will be there ready
for next spring.
Another important advantage
of fall fertilizer application
whether on sod or on corn ground,
is the fact that now the land is
solid and spreading is easy. Wheth-
er you use a custom bulk spreader
truck or a tractor -drawn spreader
there is no problem on most fields
with fall spreading. In the spring
it is another story with valuable
time often lost hauling out a bog-
ged down spreader.

Farmers Urged
To Wit'h'hold
School' Taxes
Huron County members of the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
Monday night were urged to "make
a lot of noise" to give farmers
credibility in the OFA campaign
to have education taxes removed
from property.
Jack Hale, OFA provincial
manager, told about 300 Huron
County Farmers at a special meet-
ing, "we (the OFA) have done the
research and background work.
We have acted in a responsible
manner. We have justice on our
side."
The meeting, attended by
Charles MacNaughton (PC -Huron)
and MPP Murray Gaunt (L- Huron -
Bruce) and MP Robert McKinley
(PC - Huron) was described as a
"getting -the -facts -straight meet-
ing, " by Mason Bailey, a Huron
County OFA executive.
The OFA in June advocated
the province -wide withholding of
the education portion of municip-
al taxes by farmers.
Their stand is that all educat-
ion taxes should be removed from
all property - both farm and urb-
an - and replaced by income and
corporation tax.
Farmers feel that, because of
the necessity for them to own
property, the present tax system
unfairly penalizes them.
The OFA has set September 28
as a general deadline for with-
holding of taxes, although some
municipalities have already had
their tax bills come due.
Mr. Bailey siad the meeting
was designed to stir up Huron
County support for the program
as well as putting the farmers'
grievances before government
representatives.
Gordon Hill, Ontario president
of the OFA said: "We've talked
about it for a long time... we've
presented sound arguments (to the
government), but the matter is
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1970
still not resolved.
"We have to take action, " he
said, "we don't like it -- we'd
rather do it through arbitration.
But, if we can't get it that way,
what do we do next?"
His speech and Mr. Hale's
were met with resounding appl-
ause from the audience.
Mr. MacNaughton, Mr. Gaunt
and Mr. McKinley echoed each
other in their opening statements,
saying the tax system was a very
real problem and something def-
initely should be done.
