that the Well-fcd plant is more resist

pIantrood. preferably in the form or
an ammoniated phosphate fertilizer.
This Is fertilizer carrying ammonia
and available phosphoric acid that
gives the young wheat plants, weak
ened by the winter, a sturdy start and
furnishes plantfood to make the extra
gain. When barnyard manure is used
1t had best be applied as thin, even
covering or top-dressing early in the
winter. Whenever possible use the
manure spreader for this work, as
hand dressing Is not satisfactory be-
cause 1t leaves the manure lumpy and
uneven.
Fertilizer applied early in the spring
increases the crop yield in two ways,
first, by making the stalks and heads
already started grow larger and by
increasing the tillering or stooling.
Every extra "tiller" means an extra
head. Only few extra "tillers" to q
plant means several more bushels to
the acre. If the wheat is top-dressed
late In the spring, that Is after it has
made good start, it will not "tiller,"
hence the only chance to increase the
yield Is by lengthening stalks and
heads, but by fertilizing early the
chances of increasing yields are
doubled.
For spring tOp-dressing, the broad
caster Is better than the fertilizer
drill. 1t covers the ground more rap
idly and the inconvenience of keeping
the drill disks or hoes out of the
ground, or of removing them, is
avoided. The ordinary fertilizer drills
can, however, be satisfactorily used
for top-dressing if care Is taken to
fasten up the hoes or disks away from
the ground, or to remove them.
