Corn Side Dressing Report,
Liquid Nitrogen Caution

Corn Side Dressing Report,
Liquid Nitrogen Caution
Corn side-dressing is in full
force in Delaware, particularly in
parts of Sussex county," reports
Claude E. Phillips, agronomist Of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service
Phillips says that most farmers
are using dry nitrogen material
such as ammonium nitrate. A few
are using a complete fertilizer
such as 1873, or 10-10-10.
The amount of actual nitrogen
applied varies considerably from
farm to farm, depending on what
was plowed under, manure used
and the amount of nitrogen in the
fertilizer previously applied.
A great many farmers aim to
have 100 pounds of available nitro
gen per acre, or a little more
Probably the average amount now
applied in side-dressing is 35 to SO
pounds of nitrogen, or the equival-
ent of 100 to $50 pounds of am
monium nitrate.
One interesting development is
the use of liquid nitrogen. This
material is hauled to the farm in
metal drums, and applied as a
liquid, with very simple and mex
pensixe equipment that the farmer
can hook up himself, to his tractor
cultivator.
Perhaps word of caution is in
order, says Phillips. Liquid nitrog-
en- is very corrosive and all equip
ment should be flushed out with
water every day. The ammonia
fumes are also quite powerful and
unpleasant to breathe. Care should
he taken not to get the face too
close to the drum when it is open
ed, and not to allow the liquid to
splash on the face of the operator.
Some people are transferring the
liquid from the drums with air
pressure, and find that it works
very well, Phillips reports. How
ever, it takes only five pounds of
pressure to do a nice job and a
quick one, by this method. High
pressures should be avoided. The
drums may be weakened by COR
rosion and could burst.
There has been little trouble
with scale from the inside of the
drums clogging the systems. This
can be avoided by using a coarse
screen in the storage barrel.
Questions have been asked as to
the efficiency of liquid nitrogen
compared to ammonium nitrate,
and other dry material, and the
gas form, anhydrous ammonia.
Phillips says that work at the Del
aware Agricultural Experiment
Stations has shown that one form
of nitrogen is about as efficient as
another in producing corn. The
main consideration should be price
and ease of application, and avail
able equipment. Certainly at pres
ent, the liquid nitrogen is lowest
in price, if the farmer is equipped
to use it and has patience to work
with his equipment to get every
thing running smoothly.

Mrs. Harry S. Truman in an
swer to the question. How
does it feel to be back here
after Independence" "You
have to keep an engagement

former First Lady.

was asked. Heavens no." she
replied. Did that mean If you

have to show up until 8?
''No." grinned Mrs. T. IF you
did that you wouldn't get any,

her White House story or give

ecutive Mansion?

said, referring to the day by

"Oh, there were some really
