GROW LESPEDEZA HAY
Application Of Proper Fertilizer
Would Pay Big.
Plant Is of Great Value In Building UP
Poor Soils and Maintaining Fer
tillty in Good ones-Treat-
ment Of Land.

CBy J. f. HALLIGAN. Louisiana Expert
ment station.)
Lespadeza belongs to a family OF
plants that have the power of gathf r.
ing nitrogen from the air and thef e.
fore is of great value in building up
poor soils and maintaining fertility IN
good soils. It is not customary for
lespedeza growers to pay much atten-
ton to the fertilization Of this crop,
although in many cases an application
Of the proper fertilizer constituent Is
would many times pay in In
creased returns the cost Of the fer
tilization.
In early growth the addition OF
some readily available heterogeneous II r.
tiIizer as nitrate of soda, sulphate OF
ammonia or calcium cyanide, W Ill
help to give the crop a start. As the Sc
fertilizers are soluble in water, tn y
should only be added when needed, as
a heavy rain will wash the nitrogen
away. A small amount, say rs to 100
pounds, per acre, at planting tline
would tend to produce a quick, health ny
growth. If the crop proved backward
during the early period of growth an
application Of one of the above fertll-
izers would tend to help. It shou Id
be remembered that the above fertil-
izers resemble salts and should be
mixed with earth or other mater al
in order to get an even distributicsi.
To prevent any injury that might be
brought about because of the u nc
action of the foregoing fertilizers, they
should be applied when the plan is
are dry, otherwise they might stick to
the leaves and injure the plants. Nj
trogenous fertilizers that give up their
nitrogen slowly should not be used on
l~espedeza, as such procedure would
be wasteful. AS lespedeza is a nitro
gen gatherer, 1t only needs nitrogen
during the early growth, and the
efficient planter can readily deter
mine when to add this fertilizer con
stituent.
Louisiana soils are usually deficien mt
in p~hosphoric acid and as lespedez ga
is a good feeder on this constituer TT
the application Of acid phosphate or
phosphate rock or ground steamed
bone will help to satisfy its needs.
Acid phosphate, applied at the rate
Of 10000 pounds per acre, at plant
ing time, will more than pay for itse If.
Although l~espedeza uses considerable
potash, our soils carry sufficient of
this constituent SO that w need hot
consider it. One Of the principal con
stituents that lespedeza requires is
lime.
