DIET DEFICIENCY
CUTS CROP YIELD
Lack of Essential Foods
Reduces Productivity.
By HERBERT L. GARRARD

By HERBERT L. GARRARD
Diagnosing the ailments Of "sick"
crops and prescribing the restora-
tives is a science that can turn
losses into profits on American
farms.
Many Of the diseases that destroy
the productivity of crops are due
to diet deficiency-to lack Of such
essential plant foods as nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in the
soil. And just as tell-tale symptoms
are present when human beings are
i'll, so growing plants reveal their
infirmities by various signs.
Even in the early stages Of growth
these signs of ill-health are readily
dlscernible. Sickly seedlings with
narrow leaves, thin stalks, poor root
formations and tips of leaves tinted
a reddish-brown hue tell story Of
starvation for necessary plant nour-
isfment
With oats, for example, a def
cheney of potash in the soil will be
evident in reddish celebration of
the leaves as early as eight days
after sprouting. The foliage of po-
tatoes shows dark green in the
early stages Of potash starvation; in
the case of tomatoes there is
purplish leaf celebration when the
plants are starved for phosphorus
Corn that is suffering from diet
deficiency is easily recognizable.
When nitrogen is lacking it develops
streaked, yellow leaf. When pot
ash is missing the edges of the
leaves are fired or scorched and
spotty yellow streaking spreads
over them.
Fortunately, it is possible, even
in the growing season, to apply cor
receives once the ailment has been
diagnosed. Tests in corn-belt states
have proved that with corn still in
the early stages Of growth, it is pos
sible to side-dress the plants with
fertilizer to correct dietary def
cheney. The use of 200 pounds per
acre Of mixed fertilizer containing
potash, in early July on is corn
fields on a soil high in lime con-
tent, in a midwestern state, result
ed in an increase of 1873 bushels per
acre compared with fields not
treated for potash starvation.
But while plant food deficiencies
can sometimes be corrected during
the growing season, the sure pre-
ventive is tochave the soil tested
before planting fine. County agents
or agronomists at the state agricul-
tural college are prepared to ana
lyze soil samples and provide farm.
ers with information concerning the
fertilizer needs Of their soil. The
tests win reveal whether there is a
lack of nitrogen. phosphoric acid or
potash. By following the recon-
mendations thus obtained, farmers
can replenish depleted soil resources
and be reasonably sure of growing
healthy, productive crops.

Insect Defense

When insects injure a farm crop,
the attack often comes at the edge
Of the field, orchard, or woodland
not at the center. If the fence rows
or edges of the fields are attractive
to birds. the farmer has an auxiliary
line Of defense against the insects.
The birds may be able to destroy
some Of the insects before the in
sects can lay their eggs. This is one
Of the reasons that may make it
wise to make the edges of fields at
tractive to wildlife.
