Farmers Studying Fertilizer Needs With the spring planting period yet u few weeks awuy many farmers are already giving consideration to their fertilizer requirement* In an effort to obtain the greatest returns for the money expended. In prevlqus year*, decisions were too often made upon the basis of the price per ton rather than on a hauls of plant fi>od coutenti and It Is generally agreed that the plant food purchased In the low analysis mixtures comes at a much higher cost than when obtained In the higher grade mixtures. It has boon noted that In recent years, sales of the low grade mixtures, such as 8-3-3, have been steadily dropping while large gains are shown In the sales Of the higher grade, well balanced mixtures, such as 7-5-5, 8-4-8, and the jlke. Along with better farming methods, many farmers are using better fertilizers. li has been pointed out that mixtures containing a high ratio of potash have been especially popular In recent years. As a result of extensive experiments conducted over a period | of years, agricultural authorities now recommend higher amounts of potash than over before. Following the removal of crops from the soil for many I years, the available potash becomes I depleted and a liberal supply must bo ! added If satisfactory yields are to be ! obtained. Many farmers state that the ! response from additional potash on ' their soils has been so great that they I now apply only high potash mixtures i at planting, and In addition, use a nlj trogen-potash top-dresser, i An ample supply of potash Is not only essential for satisfactory yields, but is generally known as the "quallI ty element." High quality crops are always desirable and with truck crops, i tobacco and similar crops, quality is the basis upon which sales are made, and largely determines the per acre value of the crop. Preliminary surveys Indicate that farmers will use a great deal mote potash on their 1939 crops and at ! present quotations, many farmers can ' double the amount they are using at a cost of only a few cents per acre.
