Get Kertilizeio in Compact Form New Commercial Mixtures With Nitrogen Compounds Increase Plant Food. Concentrated fertilizers are here this season. More than that, they will receive greater consideration from New York farmers and probably will be used far more extensive ly in the years to come, says Prof. E. L. Worthen of the agronomy department of the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. N. Y. Synthetic Nitrogenous Materials. The development of so-called concentrated mixed fertilizers results from advances in the manufacture of synthetic nitrogenous materials. These materials are higher in plant food than the animal, fish, or vegetable maj terials which have commonly been \ used as carriers of plant foods for commercial fertilizer. All the nitrogen in a fertilizer may come through synthetic materials or “chemicals.” While an objection has been raised because these concentrated fertilizers do not contain nitro- | gen in the form of organic materials, experiments do not show any consistent superiority of nitrogen from -or- ; ganic sources as compared with that , from “chemicals." Results from concentrated fertilizers, although stilt • somewhat incomplete, indicate an approximate equal value, pound for pound, of plant food in concentrated mixtures and in fertilizers of ordinary, low concentration. Advocate Ratios. Buyers of fertilizer will be advised more and more to consider using ratios such as 1-2-1, 1-3-1, or 1-1-1 instead of the analysis such as 5-10-5. The analyses which have been used for years by New York farmers indicate the percentages of plant food contained. However, since concentrated fertilizer may carry double’ or triple as much plant food as those less concentrated, the use of ratios to represent the plant food contained instead of the exact formula is advised. Professor Worthen points out that it is possible to injure seeds or young plants unless the rate of application of concentrated fertilizer is reduced. If a 10-20-10 fertilizer replaces a 5-10-5. the rate of application should he reduced one half, for example Special precautions should be taken to prevent the fertilizer from com ing in direct contact with the seed but if the rate of application is not unduly heavy the fertilize l is 1 properly mixed with the soil, crops will not be injured.

Colloids in Soils Have Much to Do With Plants Now that such words as legumes, humus and bacteria have become familiar to farmers and their relation - to the soil fertility is understood, the ; term “colloid” is about to claim the attention of soil builders. Soil colloids consist mainly of organic matter ; and partially decomposed mineral sub- ; stances existing in a very finely di- ' vided state. These colloids are im-| portant. scientists are finding out, be- ' cause they have much to do with plant growth. The extent of bacterial ac- j tion in the soil, its water holding capacity and the solubility of the plant foHfis depend very largely upon the nature of the colloids present. Fall Plowing for Trees Is Favored by Forester “Proper tillage of the soil is prob- I ably the most necessary prerequisite i to successful tree growing.” says C. W. Watkins. Nebraska extension forester. | He advises the man who plans to set out trees in the spring to plow the ground in the fall. This conserves the moisture andunakes a compact, moist soil for planting in the spring. There • will be enough moisture stored in the fall plowed land to start the trees in the spring even if there is very little rain at that time. After the trees are planted, regular cultivation and an occasional hoeing will prevent weed growth and give the treeh a chance to . get started. > | Agricultural Squibs | Nu economical substitute for the use of. liming materials in growing legumes has been found. * • * The home gardener may extend his J -growing season in the fall by the use J of hotbeds and cold frames. I Giving your dairy barn a good^system of ventilation now means health- : ier stock and purer milk in the win- ' ter. • » I Federal specialists estimate that 10 ■ per cent less chickens are being raised on American farms this year than in 1927. i ' Dairy herds of low butterfat producing cows require less feed and labor. but the pound cost of butterfat 4s greate than In herds of high-pro- > . during cows.

In arranging the exhibit , • follow the specifications of the premium list. « • • If sodium nitrate is applied to wheat at the time of heading, the protein content of the grain is Increased. Where farmers can secure the premiums millers are willing to pay for high protein wheat this practical crop chem- | Istry may prove profitable. The u*-e of wheat ‘in the form of [ flour is increasing in the United States at the rate of about fi.odo.ooo bushels a year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Since 192.’ the world’s demand for wheat seems to have Increased at the rate «f about 5 per cent a year, due . both tn growth in population and per capita consumption.

WHERE WORDS BELONG inII Witte (quarrelsomely)—“l don’t see

why you wanted to buy that dictionary! We don’t need it!” Hubby—- “ There, that’s enough. Let’s have words in the dictionary and not over it, if you please.” Fortunate Bill “How come Bill Bilkins is always called in to act as best man at the weddings In Bllnkvllle?” asked the former resident, who took the old home town paper. “Well, you see Bill’s the only one in town who owns a dress suit and Bill’s

the only one in town the dern suit will fit,” explained the native. First Aid Needed The doctor, himself an ardent golf* er, prescribed golf for Mr. Big Business and heard nothing from him for two weeks. Then he came into the office. x “Well, how goes it “ "1 think, doc, you’d better join me on the links and prescribe for my golf. They say I play ■ a pretty sick game.”
