Soils and Crops
Look for Grade
Of Fertilizers
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

IndC more commercial t6rClllZer mate
rial will be used this year than in the
past. At least this will be true in some
areas, including both dryland and irri-
gated sections.
There will be more commercial fertil-
izer stocks available this year, although
localized shortages may exist due to
demand and lack of storage facilities.
The point I want to make now is that
farmers, and especially those who may
be using fertilizers for the first time,
know and recognize the differences in
commercial fertilizers. There are many
materials available from which to
choose. Materials may be available as
solids, liquids or gases.
The primary plant food elements
commonly low in many Montana soils
are nitrogen and phosphorus. These
plant foods may be purchased in a
commercial fertilizer material that con-
tains either material as a single nu-
trient. Or you may buy mixed fer
tilizer that contains both nitrogen and
phosphorus.
Look for Grade
When you are not familiar with fer
tilizer Technology, such as ammonium
nitrate, urea, anhydrous ammonia,
treble superphosphate, liquid phos-
phOric acid and ammonium phosphate.
there's bound to be confusion. You need
not let this terminology bother you if
you look for the ''grade" printed on the
bag or tag. The grade is designated
by formula that may look like this
$500 or O-5O-O or 1O-2O-O or 1O-1O-1O.
The formula may not be printed
straight across in the example shown
but may appear one under the other.
In either case the relationship is the
same. That is, your percentage of ac-
tual nitrogen is shown by the first
numeral. If that figure is CO... of course.
1t contains no nitrogen and so on for
the other nutrients. The second figure
represents the amount or per cent of
available phosphoric acid. The last or
third figure represents the percentage
OF potash or potassium which material
may or may not contain.
The percentage figure refers to the
number of pounds of any one plant food
element in 100 pounds of commercial
fertilizer material. In other words a
100 pound bag of commercial fertilizer
Will supply only the amount of the es-
sential plant food as indicated by the
grade.

Recommendations for Montana. is also
available to you through your local
extension agents office. Your fertil-
Izer dealer is also in position to SUD-
ply Information with respect to your
fertilizer needs.
Crops For AIkaIi Soils
Two months ago I discussed the fac
tors which commonly are responsible
for alkali soil conditions. For alkar
soils we are frequently asked to recon-
mend crops for such situations. This
is very difficult and especially risky
thing to do. First of all one should have
an idea as to the type of alkali condi-
tlon IN question, also the concentration
of the soluble salts or sodium in the soil
solution The depth to which the con-
centration occurs is also useful Also
one should have some knowledge as to
probable cause and possibilities for
correcting.

Interest in the local oil picture

A trip to this we'll revealed
that drilling was at a depth of

pay zone will be found.
Drilling has been changed
from air to rotary mud which
will be used for the remainder
of the test.
