Fertilization of Wheat

The following statement concerning
the fertilization of wheat this fall was
issued by the department Of agricultural
| extension at Purdue University, July
81, 1917:
The fertilization Of the wheat crop
was never more important than it will |
be this fall. From every part of Indiana
come reports of excellent results secur-
ed from fertilization and the very poor
yields of wheat secured from unfcrtiliz-
ed soil. BY fcrtiizing, the farmer
swaps dollars for eagles.
Evidence on the profitableness of
fertilizing the wheat is abundant In
1916 l.. M. Waggoner of st. Joseph
county, applied 200 pounds of acid phos-
| phate to the acre on all but small part
field sown to wheat. From the fer
| tilized.part he secured 22.4 bushels Of
wheat to the acre, and on the unfertil-
lied r. 5 bushels to the acre "a gain Of
SO bushels. due to fertilizing
| This year 200 pounds of acid phos-
phatc win cost about So. 25, and wheat
is worth So. 90 per bushel On this basis
the increase secured by Mr.. Wagonner
would be worth $3.50 and the profit
after counting expenses of applying fer
tilizer and paying for harvesting and
marketing the increased crop would be
more than So an acre If that isn't a
case of swapping dollars for eagles it
comes very near to it.
| The Ohio experiment station of Woos-
ter, as an average for the last twenty
two years, has secured an increase of
so bushels to the acre from an applica-
ton of 100 pounds Of acid phosphate to
the acre. The unphosphatcd yield has
! been ll.2 bushels and the phosphated
1872 bushels. Where 1000 rounds of
potash has been added to the phosphate
the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the
acre, or an increase of 12 bushels more
than was secured from phosphate alone
Even at present prices for wheat and
before the-war prices for potash the in
crease in the wheat crop was not suf-
! ficient to pay the cost of the potash.
The addition of potash to fertilizers
containing phosphorous and nitrogen
will not be profitable when applied to
clay and loan soils.
Nine farmers out of ten should fer
tiliZe wheat this fall. Fertilizer not
only increases the yield directly, but
the greater supply of available plant
food makes stronger plants that with
stand the attack Of fungus diseases and
| TO hot hoy g.,
At present prices the farmer may ex-
pect return of at least five dollars for
every dollar spent for wheat fertilizer
| this fall.
The Importance of ordering early
cannot be too strongly emphasized
Those who order early will get what
they want, while those who order late
will have to take what is left or do with
| out.

started upsetting the chairs, tables and
other articles Of furniture until | came
to the piano, but after many futile at
tempts | was quieted by strong arms
that held me fast OF course, did not
remember this, but my mother told me
afterward.
After a. hasty breakfast | went to
school but all forenoon nothing unus.
ual happened. In the afternoon just
as we were taking our seats, the fire
whistle blew; out of the room everyone
went on the run. All grabbed their
hats and struck out to the fire IL
seemed as if all the people in town
were running and screaming. When
we arrived at the scene the whole roof
of one section of the house was burning.
At last the fire extinguishers were put
in use and the flames were gradually
overcome.
We went back to the school, wish.
ing thgt Caesar class would be over,
but | found that the bell had rung only
fifteen minutes before. oh dear! | got
all that was coming to rue for not hay
ing my lesson. school was let out at
last and after all the days excitement
| had to write my English diary
But I'm sleepy and must go to bed
Suppose though Ill Conhde in you
