GUNDERSON'S NOTES
A Successful Fertilizer Experiment.

A Successful Fertilizer Experiment.
On the farm of Henry Schmidt an
experiment to ascertain the ef1ect OF
fertilizer on the potato
crop has just been completed It's
results are SO remarkable that they
are hard to believe.
The American Coal Products Co. OF
Medina, Ohio, furnished the fertilizer
free of charge and the experiment
was planned and carried out through
this office cooperating with Mr.
Schmidt.
The land was on the Tooley farm
northwest of town and which is now
owned by Henry Schmidt, and consls-
ted of clover sod This land had
been cropped heavily for years to hay
and has had very little manure or
vegetable matter added to it.
Three plots of one-fourth acre were
laid out and designated as A, b, and
&c.
On plot A were added mixed or
complete fertilizer consisting Of 374lb
of sulphate of ammonia, 1923 ID. OF
acid phosphate and 40 ID. of muriate
of potash.
On plot B were added 1929 10. Of
acid phosphate and 40 lb. OF mariate
Of potash.
Plot C was left without any ferti-
lizer to serve as check.
The result:
The yield on plot A was 1872 5u. to
the acre.
On plot B 176 bu. to the acre.
On plot G 48 bu. to the acre.
1t is seen from this that plot A
yielded FOUR TIMES AS MUCH AS PLOT
.C.
We have not at this time the price
of the fertilizer but assuming it costs
around 500 a ton, it would cost about
81 to fertillze an acre at the rate it
was used.
The gain according to the current
prices of potatoes would be $57 so an
acre or $50 net gain per acre by using
the fertilizer. This too in a sea son
when the-entire crop was affected by
the unfavorable weather. The a5und-
ant rain just after planting caused
much of the seed to rot il the ground
and diseases like rhiz6ctonia and
blackleg were prevalent. II is safe
to say that one hill in five was a fail
IRE.
We have never been strong advo-
cate for the use of commercial ferti-
lizer. Soils that have been kept up
in fertility will not show its effect so
literally, But on soils that through
cropping are in need OF plant food the
results would pay literally for the
fertilizer.
The effect of the fertilizer is not all
spent the first year. The succeeding
grain and clover crop viii benefit
from it also.

Is L. M. Grover to Blame?

Somebody is to blame, besides
the weather bureau, for the brand
of undesirable stuff handed out
to us as autumn" weather. Is
it on account of the war; or on
account of the Panama exposi-
ton; or because Three Lakes
went dry this spring? Or, rather,
is it due to L. M. Grover having
laid down this year on spud cul-
ture. Anyhow, every blessed
