Removal OF Plant Food In Crops
A speaker at farmers institute said:
We know that when we grain farmers
remove 100 bushels OF corn from an
acre of ground. leaving the stalks on
the ground, we are taking away from
that acre 100 pounds of nitrogen, II
pounds of phosphorus and 10 pounds
OF potassium. We consider Il good
farming when, by means of improved
seed, good rotation and good culiiYa.
ton, we can take OFF 100 bushels OF
corn from an acre; and so II is, but
we want to go a step farther; we want
to know II this system is always GO
ing to maintain itself; will 1t always
be possible to get annually such
amounts of plant food out OF an acre
OF ground? Let me say that two
thirds of the nitrogen, three.fourths
OF the phosphorus. and one.fourth OF
the potassium necessary to produce
the whole corn plant are in the grain
