4 LOCAL FARMS HAVE DEMONSTRATION PLOTS
A series of four bromegrass fer
tilizer demonstration plots show
that nitrogen is essential in a
?ood grass management program
according to Dick Blue, local Ex
tension Agent. Fertilized in early
lune these demonstrations are lo
cated on the Victor Falk farm in
the Butte area, on the Dinkel farm
south of Wasilla, on the Bugge
field west of Palmer, and on the
Snodgrass field on Airport Road.
Marked by large signs, these plots
ire well worth seeing.
Anyone interested may stop to
nspect these demonstrations with
n the next week. Winston Laugh
in, who has been conducting fer
ilizer studies for the Experiment
Station during the past three
.rears, will be at the Falk demon
itration site between the hours of
10 and 12 noon Friday June 26
o answer questions. In the after
noon he will be at the Snodgrass
field on Airport Road between the
hours of 1 and 2 P.M. and at the
Bugge field between 2 and 3 p.m.
On Monday June 29 Dr. Laugh
lin will be at the Dinkel farm
from 10 to 11:30 A.M. to explain,
the demonstration located there.
Interested persons are urged to
stop by during these hours to see
for themselves what fertilizer will
do for grass. Since the cooperat
ing farmers will be cutting hay
in early July, differences in stand
and yield due to fertilizers at
these demonstration sites must be
seen during the next four or five
days. A later inspection during
August will reveal differences in
recovery on the various plots.
