Shipment Of Nitrogen
For Winter Grozing In
Cdunty Being Made Up
Another cooperative carload of
TVA nitrogen is being made up for
October delivery to farmers partici
pating in the winter grazing demon
strations, it was announced by C. B.
Cannon, county agept.
Last week a cooperative shipment
of 65 tons was distributed to 28 farm
ers. To date, a total of 240 tons
of nitrogen, equivalent to 480 tons of
nitrate of soda, have been used by
72 farmers on 3776 acres of winter
grazing land. The top dressing was
ordered the last of the summer.
Mr. Cannon emphasized that the
short hay crop makes winter grazing
most important, and he urged farm
ers to prepare their land promptly
for seeding.
