DOES 1T PAY TO FERTiLiZE
WHEAT IN COLORADO

This question has been asked so
often that the editor decided to inter
lew the Agronony Department of the
Experiment Station. According to that
department. the use of mineral fer
tilizers has never been found to pay
IN wheat in Colorado.
This is due to the fact that most
colorado wheat soils are already rich
II the mineral constituents of fertil
~. II does pay, however, to see that
ihe land is supplied with organic mat
ter of humus, either by putting on
barnyard or other manure In proper
Quantities or by plowing under crop
Of alfalfa in the rotation. Colorado
soils need organic matter and water
They are already quite rich in mineral
matter Experiments covering nearly
sixteen years gave just as good re
suits on untreated plats as on the
treated plats where mineral fertilizers
We're used without organic matter.
