local county agents office.
On pages through 10 you will find
outlined fertilizer recommendations for
specific crops. The recommendations
are general and designed to fit all areas
of the state. But there is one point
that you should note-that is, the fig
ureS showing the pounds per acre OF
plant nutrient to be applied. The fig
ures show the actual pounds of plant
nutrient or plant food-either actual
nitrogen or phosphoric acid and potash
not pounds of the respective CONNER
cial fertilizer material to be applied
per acre. Confusing isn't it? Neverthe-
less we should gear our thinking for
specific crops in terms of actual plant
food required.
The reason for this is that we have
many fertilizer materials available on
the market The fertilizer business has
become quite competitive. Ask any
dealer or area representative for fer
tilizer firms. Products manufactured
or marketed by different concerns COM
monty vary with respect to pounds of
actual nitrogen or phosphoric acid pot
ash or combinations per 100 pounds Of
material. Likewise, as the pounds OF
plant food vary so does the cost per
ton. The higher analysis or grade ma
terials cost more per ton. The cost per
pound of plant food is about the same
and in some cases slightly less.
Then too, fertilizers are available in
the dry granular or powder form, as
liquids or as gases. Many of the ma
terials now available in Montana are
discussed on pages and of the publ
cation.
There's also a section in the publica
ton on determining your fertilizer
needs. This is an important one too

Experts Say
Johnson Greatest
Heavyweight
In Boxing History

New York, Oct. 1 = Jack
Johnson, the first Negro
heavyweight champion, was
the greatest heavyweight
fighter in history, according
to survey conducted by
Look Magazine of six leading
fight experts.

the new issue of Look, the
experts overwhelmingly fav-
ored Johnson because he
combined the ultimate in
both offense and defense,
could take a punch, had ire
mendous punching power and
great boxing skill"
The experts felt that Joe
Louis, the Brown Bomber,
was the sixth greatest, rank
ing behind the recently retir-
ed Rocky Marciano.
The six members of the
panel, who among them
have seen every great heavy
weight and every important

days of John L. Sullivan, are
