NITRATE OF SODA ON WHEAT.

Owing to the high price OF wheat it
is probable that it will be profitable
to top-dress wheat this spring with
sodium nitrate at the rate of IS to 100
pounds per acre. says Horace Atwood
and w. H. Sill, county agents of the
Panhandle Agricultural Club, w. Va.
This can be applied by a grain drill
or sown broadcast by hand. It is not
necessary to harrow it in. 1t should
not be used on soils very rich in nj
trogen. The following statements are
taken from letters received from prom
inent agriculturists:
81 have sufficient confidence in in
creasing the yield of wheat this year
by applying rs pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre that l am arranging with
my brother to fertilize 100 acres with
this amount of nitrate of soda per
acre.. S. Cook. West Virginia Ex-
pertinent Station.
I'VE have found a top-dressing of
IS pounds per acre OF nitrate of soda
in the spring on Volusia silt loan and
Knox silt loan profitable on top of a
fertilization with 200 pounds of 0-10-4
at seeding time in the fall. We apply
the nitrate soon after the growth be-
gins in the spring."-A. T. Wiancko,
Chief in Soils and Crops, Purdue Uni
versity. Lafayette, Ind.
In summing up our results we con-
clude that nitrate of soda is the cheap
est and most effective carrier of nitro
gen in the fertilizer market today. So
dunn nitrate should be used with rela-
tive liberality on the wheat CROP

secured mainly by additions of acid
phosphate only. | would expect that
100 pounds of nitrate of soda would
increase your yields from to Z bush
els per acre. This is in line with our
Ohio Station work, at any rate. doubt
whether you can use much more than
100 pounds with good and safe profit.
An extra hundred pounds would not
add enough increase in yield to pay
expenses of fertilizer, ordinarily. l
would apply the nitrate of soda along
in April when wheat begins to grow
nicely and freezing is we'll over.

the timothy a little at the expense OF
