FERTILIZER SHOULD BE USED EVEN LATE

Weather and wartime conditions have so delayed transportation that it now seems certain that many cars of fertilizer will reach their destination after the time of planting the crop on which it were to have been used.
 It will not be wise to fail to use the fertilizer. The farmer cannot afford to tie up his money until another year, and the country neetls the increased food which fertilizer will produce.
 For corn, oats, and potatoes late apications are entirely practical, and may be used as late as three weeks or a month after planting with excel lent results. The fertilizer is simply broadcast over the field. Cultivation of corn and potatoes works it down to the feeding roots of the plants, With oats it acts in much the same way as top-dressing on wheat.
