Recommendations made by our Field
Research Specialist-- Ted Carter
As . oasis for the preparation of
the following, fertilizer recommend
ations, these factors were taken in
to consideration: Soil fertility
tests, previous production and past
fertility program* a quality of pro
ducts produced, and weather condi
tions, The soil tests, general ob
servation, common manuring practises
and the quality of past production
all show nltrogencous levels in some
instances so high as to be excess
ive, This condition and the results
attendant win oe aiscussea in more
letail later. The controlli fac
tor governing fertility control in
the field is light content, and
soil temperature. These and your
nitrogen levels must work in a di
rect ratio. To some of ypu these
recommendations will s.cm hi_h. To
some of you this will be a new lino
of thou, ht, but so is-?racGical Sci
entific Farming. All I ash is, do
not discard the old methods but be
sure to give the now a trie.' .
The wise farmer of tod
to
morrow win u..no l. nrgnur pxuuuui/
ion of superior quality products
from c. smaller acreage the. in the
pest. Saleability :,rd quel t.y of
products is the primary requisite
in the Latanusha Valley.
In following those rocomra relations
if you cut down the poundage per
aero, maintain the sn >e baJ rco or
ratio of fertilizer. The p? • cement
of the fertilizers should in
bands on both sides of the plants
or seeds. One' hundredth acre tost
plats will be maintained during the
season.by the Coop.
