VALUE OF STRAW
AS FERTILIZER

A large amount of straw is shipped
from a county in Missouri to a nearby
paper and strawboard factory. This
straw brings the farmer about 80 cents
per ton. A county agent recently
found pile of about 1000 tons at Six
eston ready for shipment. He COM
putes that as a fertilizer this straw is
worth $3.50 per ton in addition to its
value as a means of adding organic
matter to the soil. He is making a
campaign of the county in an attempt
to show the inadvisability of the farm
ers selling their straw and urging its
more extensive use as bedding in sta
bles and feed lots. Straw used as a
top dressing on fall wheat has been
found to practically insure a good
stand of clover on lands where clover
is otherwise grown with great difficult
ty.
