TOP DRESSING WILL
HELP SMALL GRAIN
State College Agronomist
Shows Need of Nitro
gen Compound

College Station, Raleigh, March 2
On most fields, small grain will bene-
fit from a top-dressing of nitrogen
Gus fertilizer applied between March
/ and Is.
W. H. Rankin, agronomist in soil
fertility at State College, says that
each acre of grain needs from Is to 20
pounds of nitrogen, the exact amount
depending upon the condition of the
soil.
The nitrogen can be obtained from
100 to 125 pounds of nitrate of soda.
rs to 100 pounds of sulphate of am
monia, or an equivalent amount of
other quickly available standard in
organic heterogeneous material, Rankin
pointed out.
If legumes have been grown on the
field, and plowed under, he said, the
amount of nitrogen to be applied at
top-dressing time will be less than if
the land has been neglected.
On land that is standing idle, SOW
lespedeza, he urged. This crop will
check erosion and at the same time
Increase the nitrogen and organic
content of the soil if plowed under
at maturity.
Don't neglect small eroded spots in
the fields, he warned, as they may
soon grow into gullies. Old straw
or damaged hay that cannot be used
by livestock will help check erosion
if spread on small places where ero-
sion is starting.
He also advised growers to place
the fertilizer for raw crops in bands
two to three inches to each side of
the seed and at level three inches
below the seed. This keeps the ferti-
hzer from coming in contact with the
seedlings and killing them.
BE sure that fertilizer distributors
and seed planters are in good condi-
ton before the time comes to use
them, he continued.

been restrained and courteous when
she had been IN his company. He
was deferential to Mr.. Marsh and his

by assiduous little attentions in the

Wilma was much more frank in the
display Of her affection. Thora
thought.
And she particularly resented the
remarks Babbas had made about Mr..
Marsh and Mrs. Steele.
The latter had been at Fair Acres

was reminded of what Mrs. Myron
