PROFITS FROM FERTILIZER

Efficiency Tn using fertilizer on grass, that is, fin getting greatest re- turns for the fertilizer applied. de- pends very largely upon the following points:
 4 Good Sod,--It Is useless to fer iillze weeds, and nearly useless to fer tillze those low-growing grasses (Jbne grass, sweet veTnal. etc) which some times drive out timothy and red top. It is more profitable to fertilize q pro- ductive moving than one which has run out" IL Is usually more profit able to break up and re-seed q weedy meadow than to bring 1t back by fer tilIzing. although the latter can be done, and often profitably.
 Good Drainase.--Grasses and cloyers do better on vell-drained than on a wet land. Sedges and other water loving plants take possession on wet soils, and 1t seldom pays to fertilize these. However. while the farmer Is finding capital for necessary improve ments. these wet-land plants can be kept out of the wet meadow by feed ing the grass which is already there, and this again at a profit
 Sweet Soii.-Timothy always does better on d sweet soil than on a sour soil. and gives greater returns for the fertilizer applied. Lime, however. should be applied before seeding or on other crops in the rotation. If used as a top dressing on grass land 1t Is slow acting and relatively expensive.
 Early Appilcation.--The best time to apply top dressing Is just when the grass turns green in the early spring. It is then that the soil is cold and the plantfood in the soil raw and unayail- able A good start at this time may often win the battle. Three hundred pounds applied early is better than four hundred pounds of fertilizer ap- piled late. The result of application can be seen within 48 hours after the fertilizer is washed Into the soil. The color of the grass changes. The sick ly yellowish-gree color Is replaced by a deep, dark, thrifty green. Growth starts. Root growth Is stimulated. The plant can use more of the food in the soil than before. Early application leads to highest efficiency.
 Even Spreadlng.-From POO to 400 pounds per acre is the usual applica- tion of a top-dressing fertilizer. This small amount must be evenly spread. Broadeasting by hand Is perfectly pos sible. It is more expensive and not as efficient as machine distribution.
