FERTILIZATION OF WHE l ' The following staterr concerning the fertilizatioi wheat this fall was issued the department of agricult' extension at Purdue Unr sity, July .1, 1917: The fertilization of wheat crop was never n flmn if will he fall. From every part of I] ana come reports of the ex lent results secured from tilization and the very f yields of wheat secured f] unfertilized soil. By ferti ing, the farmer swaps dol for eagles. "Evidence on the pro! bleness of fertilizing t wheat is abundant." "In 1 L. M. Waggoner of St. Jos county, applied two hum pounds of acid phosphate the acre, on all but a si r>ari n field sown to wh From the fertilized part he cured 22.4 bushels of \vl to the acre, and on the un tilized, 12.5 bushels fo acre?a gain of 9.9 bust due to fertilizing." This year two hunt pounds of acid phosphate cost about $2.25, and \vl is worth $2.00 per bushel, this basis tin increase seci by Mr. Waggoner would worth $19.80 and the pi after counting expenses of plying fertilizer and pa; for harvesting and marke the increased crop would more than $5.00 an acre, this isn't a case of swap] dollars for eagles it co very near to it. The Ohio experiment tion of Wooster, as an avei for the last twenty-two yc has secured an increase 8.0 bushels of wheat to acre, from an applicatior 160 pounds of acid phosp to the acre. The pliosph yield has been 19.2 busl and the unphosphated bushels. Where 1000 poi nf nnfnsh has been addoc the phosphate, the yield been 20.4 bushels to the r or an increase of 1.2 bus more than was secured I phosphate alone. Even at sent prices for wheat and fore-war prices for potasli increase in the wheat crop not sufficient to pay the of the potash. The add IN SOWING. nment guarantees a minimum pnc t harvested in 1918. f difficult matter to induce a patri at $2.00 a bushel.
