Carols eyes were sparkling and
for a moment she looked like any
girl whose engagement was to be
announced in toasts and celebra-
ton. Then the light faded from
her eyes. We can't, Steve. Peo-

I said: "Of course, not. I'd love
that"
"AIl right, tomorrow theme for

Carol said, IT'S wonderful
Il wish that fish would hide their
children where they can't be found y
"Oh, be quiet!" 1 said. You
don't have to eat It.
Carol went to the window and
threw it open, letting the wind
ruffle her hair and the lacy collar
of her dress. When she turned back
to us she was smiling. Il feel happy
again and not afraid. Just telling
YOU about Steve and me has done
it. And a party, that helps, too.

Nitrogen Fertilizer
Adds To Corn Yield
On Good Soil Or Poor

Farmers who find it advantageous
or necessary to increase their total
production of corn or their yield Of
corr per acre may find a key to the
problem of unproductive sold in re-
suits reported by the Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station. Numerous test
indicate substantial increase in pro-
duction from applications of nitro
gen fertilizer.
According to a recent summary
by Russell Coleman, assistant in
soils for the Station, fertilization
pays on good land but is almost nee
essary OF poor corn land if profit
able crops are to be produced. In an
experiment conducted by the Holly
Springs sub-station, unfertilized corn
over q seven-year period yielded only
1871 bushels per acre. In the same
test on similar soil receiving 80 Tbs.
Of nitrogen derived from 1873 lbs.
Sodium Nitrate) yielded 31.5 BUSH
els. At the Raymond sub-station, un-
fortified corn yielded 1872 bushels
per acre, whereas, corn receiving 30
pounds of nitrogen produced 20.2
bushels per acre.
'4These results on brown loan
showed that nitrogen gives excel
liant response whether it is applied
at planting or as a side DRESSING"
commented Mr.. Coleman. However.
split applications of IS pounds of
Sodium Nitrate at planting and rs
pounds applied as a side dressing
was slightly better than $50 pounds
applied on one application, either
under the corn before planting or,
as a side dressing after the corr
was up.
"Side dressing with Sodium Nj
trate was just as effective when the
corn was one, two, or three feet
high. Therefore, the practice of side
dressing at kneehigh is just about
as good as any"
The Experiment Station recon-
mendations for the fertilization of
most crops in Mississippi are based
on complete fertilizers. In the cases
of corn and small grains, however.
only nitrogen is recommended for
most Mississippi soils. Experience
over a number of years has in
dicated that scant returns may be
expected from the use of phosphorus
and potash for corn, however, i'm
