PLANT: NEED
Were plants in "our garden last season a
sickly, *rellowish-greeh color? Did the
leaves of sene turn purple and becone mot
tled, streaked or curled? If the answer is
yes, very probably the garden soil is in
need of certain plant foods. To a trained
eye, conditions such as these are definite
"hunger" signs which can be corrected by
sup-lying the proper fertilizer.
It is a good idea to supply manure—prefer- -
ably fortified with superphosphate—to a
j garden soil every season whether or not de
i ficiencies are suspected or known. And it
is wise to check idth county agents to find
out whether the soil is in need of- special
treatment, but it is a good idea -to know
and be able to recognize some of the more
obvious hunger signs;
For example, nitrogen deficiency is ' shown
by a sickly, ’-ellowish-green color of leaves,
slow and dwarfed groirth, the drying-up or
"firing" of leaves, beginning at the bot
tom of the plant and proceeding uward, In
grains and grasses the firing begins at the
tip of the bottom leaves and proceeds down
their midribs.
Purplish leaves, stems and branches are of
ten an indication of a shortage of phosphor
our. I .he re this is lacking, groirth and mat
utit ' will be slovr.
Potash deficiency is indicated when leaves
are mottled, streaked or curled—especially
on tiie lower levels of the plants.
Shortage of calcium is indicated when the
young leaves in terminal buds become hooked,
dying back at the tips and along the margins.
The leaves become wrinkled and folded,
With a sulphur deficiency, young leaves are
light green in color, Ilant stalks are
short and slender, and growth is slow,
Leaves—particularly of potato plants—are
spotted.
A magnesium deficiency shows up in the loss
of .green color from the bodies of leaves,
although the veins remain green. Stalk3
are weak and plants usually have long,
branched root systems. Leaves become cur
ved along the margins.
’"Trace", element deficiencies are fiifficult
to spot. But specialists agree on certain
signs of need for some of these minor plant
foods. A boron need, for example, is indi
cated by the cracked stems of celery, brown
rot of cauliflower, and heart rot of turnips
lianganese deficiency is shown by the appear
ance of pale green, yellow and red colors
between the green veins ,tpf . leaves, and tom
atoes and beets.
