Clutch Performance
Rx shs Asseeiotsd Pros,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April S.
The Minneapolis Lakers today
held a 2-1 edge over injury
riddled Syracuse in their quest
for q fifth National Basketball
Association Championship in six
years thanks to the chips-down
playing of the old maestro,
George Mikan.
It was Mikan's 80 points and
his command of the backboards
last night that paced the Lakers
to an 81-67 victory over the Ma
tionals in the World Series of
pro basketball.
Mikan has been the subject of
some retirement talk although
Big George and Coach Johnny
Kundla insist he has couple Of
good seasons left.
He's Same Old Mikan.
Mikan appeared like anything
but the retiring kind last night
as 8,719 onlookerS watched him
score Is points, nine of them on
3-point plays. in the third period
when Minneapolis built up a So
a advantage. Altogether he
dropped in II field goals and
eight Of nine free throw attempts.
Syracuse. hobbled by injuries
all through the playoffs. loomed
as a serious threat to end the
Western Divisions uninterrupted
domination Of the eastern sector
in the title round by edging the
Lakers $3.50 Saturday at Min
neapolis.s That evened the series
at 1-all.
But George King, classy play
maker Of the Mats. got a broken
wrist in that one and couldn't
play at all last night. Dolph
Schayes, who also has a broken
wrist, and Earl Lloyd. who has
a broken hand, were handi-
capped too much to stop the
visitors.

If your soil is deficient in nitrogen
you can expect a greater yield through
its use. If it is applied where the
nitrogen content is in balance with
the other soil elements, you are vast
ing your money.
The principle advantage of NIB over
the nitrate compounds of nitrogen
seems to be that it is stable in the
soil at lower temperatures. This means
that it can be applied in the fall with
out danger of loss from teaching.
Though anhydrous ammonia is a gas,
it has a natural affinity for the soil.
It enters the soil in the ammonium
form. In this form nitrogen has posi-
tive charge and is fixed to the clay
particles, which are negatively charged.
AS soil temperature rises above SO
or so degrees in the spring the am
monium form changes to the nitrate
form, which is available to the plant.
Anhydrous ammonia is made by
COMPRISING ammonia gas until it be-
comes a liquid. 1t is stored in steel
tanks under pressure ranging from 125
to $50 pounds per square inch. 1t is
applied to the soil with an implement
resembling a fallow tillage pillow. In
fact, some standard tillage implements
can be converted for use as applica-
tors.
Penetrate 4 to s Inches
Shanks penetrate the soil from to 8
inches, depending upon the type of soil
and the moisture content. The liquid
ammonia is released through tube
directly behind the shank and enters
the soil as a gas. If the soil is so wet
that the slit behind the injector knife
or shank doesn't close, a packer vince
must be used to close the slot. Other
wise the ammonia will escape into the
atmosphere. Moist, sandy soils with a
little as 4 per cent clay have beel
found to retain anhydrous ammoni;
satisfactorily, but losses are significan
if such coils are allowed to dry out.
Determine Nitrogen Need
A farmer can best determine tn
nitrogen needs of his soil by the yiel
and appearance of his crops. If he ha
obtained a good response from othe
forms of nitrogen fertilizers, he ca
expect a similar response from al

hydrous ammonia. If a farmer is SELL
ing beef, milk, sugar beetS or any other
farm commodity he is removing ele-
ments from the soil that must be re-
placed.
1t must be remembered, however,
that nitrogen content is only one of
many factors that determines yield. If
moisture is the limiting factor the addi-
ton of nitrogen will have an adverse
effect, or no effect at all. Some eX-
periments with nitrogen on dryland
wheat have shown that the additional
stooling out and rapid growth of the
plant exhaustS the limited supply of
moisture before the grain has chance
to mature.
In Missouri where both nitrogen and
moisture were in short supply it was
found that an application of NIB en-
abled corn to develop a better root
structure, making it possible for the
plants to reach down to sub-surface
moisture. However, light rainfall the
following year failed to replace this
moisture and the next years yield was
substantially reduced.
Balanced Fertility
Soil chemists agree that nitrogen is
the main limiting factor throughout
the country where moisture is in ade-
quate supply. But they point out that
phosphate, potash, magnesium and
trace elements are equally important
for maximum yields. If nitrogen is ap-
piled to the soil at a rate that would
give a 40-bushel per acre wheat crop,
the other elements that would limit
the yield to 20 bushels, the balance
would be upset and no yield increase
would result.
The soil scientists also warn that
continued, excessive use of nitrogen
will exhaust the other minerals in the
soil.
Balanced fertility, then, is the key
to maximum yields. AnhydrouS am
monia seems to offer an economical
means of supplying large amounts Of
nitrogen, but to be most effective il
must be used with other elements il
a balanced fertilizer and soil building
program.

SaViH Out Of Tennis
Despite Texas Victory
BY the Assoeiafed Press

HOUSTON, April 26.-Dick
Savitt has turned two weeks of
practice into another champion
ship. but says he still is not re-
turning to competitive tennis.
The 1851 Wimbledon and
Australian champion yesterday
became the first unseeded player
ever to win Houston's 2O-year-
old River Oaks Invitation tour
nament. He showed power,
depth and poise while coming
from behind in 83-degree
weather to defeat fifth-seeded
Hamilton Richardson, 4-6, 6-3,
Ga. rs.
Savitt quickly brushed aside
any speculation the victory over
the Davis Cup player and NCAA
champion might cause him to
try again for the national title
or for selection once again 20
the cup team.
My plans definitely have not
been changed" he said. 81 don't
plan to play anywhere else. The
only way could play would be
for 1t to help my business and
I don't see how it could"
Savitt, former Cornell star
from New Jersey. quit the tour
nament trail in late 1852, moved
to Houston and entered the oil
business. He played at River
Oaks a year ago, but was de-
feated in the quarter-flnals. His
business and a night school law
course left little time for tenl;is.
Until two weeks ago the 90.
year-old Savitt continued as just
another weekend player. Then
he began working out regularly
in preparation for another t,y
at the Oaks title. He was not
seeded because he had not
played In tournaments.
