FERTILITY IN TON OF STRAW
II Has Ability to Increase Crop Just as
Much as Manure, Although It Is
Slower to Act.

A ton of straw contains as much
fertility as a ton of manure, and al
though the fertility does not become
available quite so quickly. 1t neverthe-
less has the ability in the long run to
increase crops Just as much as ma
nure. OF course the ideal way to use
straw is to use it as bedding for AMI
mails and then spread 1t on the land
mixed with manure. Where this is
impractical the straw should by all
means be spread on the land at the
rate Of around one and half tons
per acre and plowed under.
