No doubt every reader frequent
ly has occasion to compute
pounds per acre" problems. This
chart will prove to be great help
in making such computations. The
chart gives the total number Of
pounds of anything to be used on
any plot of ground without any
''longhand" figuring whatever.
For example, let us suppose that
you want to apply 500 pounds per
acre. Let us also suppose that the
plot is very small-only OPS acre.
How many pounds should be used?
Run a straight line through the
.025 column A, and the 500, column
c, and the intersection with col
umn B gives the answer as LIS
pounds. One of the dotted lines
drawn across the chart shows
how 1t is done.
The Coolidge examiner., 1945-05-25

The other dotted line across the
chart shows that II there are 2.5
acres, and that II you are told to
apply 500 pounds per acre. the
answer IL 1.250 pounds.
The range Of the chart is from
.01 acre to 10 acres, and / pound
per acre to 5000 pounds per acre.
However, by keeping tab on the ci-
pliers this chart is easily applicable
to any number Of acres and any
number of pounds per acre. Thus If
the plot is Is acres, 1880 pounds
will be required; $50 acres.
125, 200 pounds, etc. With the aid
Of this chart you will be able to
quickly do problems that might
produce headaches and consume
much time when performed by the
old longhand method.
