Fertilization of Wheat The following statement concerning the fertilization of wheat this fall was issued by the department of agricultural extension at Purdue University, July 31, 1917: The fertilization of the wheat crop was never more important than it will he this fall. From every part of Indiana coxpe reports of -excellent results secur ed from fertilization and the very poor yields of wheat secured from unfertiliz ed soil. By 'fertilizing, the farmer swaps dollars for eagles. Evidence on the profitableness of fertilizing the wheat is abundant. In 1916 L. M. Waggoner of St. Joseph -county, applied 200 pounds of acid phos phate to the acre on all but a small part a field sown to wheat. From the fer tilized part he secured 22.4 bushels of wheat to the acre, and on the unfertil ized, 12.5 bushels to the acre-a gain of 9.9 bushels, due to fertilizing. This year 200 pounds of acid phos phate will cost about $2.25, and; wheat is worth $2.00 per bushel: On this basis the increase secured by Mr. Wagonner would be worth $19.80 and the pirofit after counting expensesof applying fer 'tilizer and paying for harvesting and marketing the increased crop would be more than $5 an acre. If that isn't a case of swapping dollars for eagles it comes very near to it. The Ohio experiment station of Woos ter, as an average for the last twenty two years, has secured an increase of 8.0 bushels to the acre from an applica tion of 160 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre. The unphosphated yield has been 11'2 bushels and the phosphated 19.2 bushels. Where 1000 pounds of potash has been added to the phosphate the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels more than was secured from phosphate alone. Even at' present prices for wheat and before-the-war prices for potash the in crease- in the wheat crop was not suf ficient to pay the cost of the 'potash. The addition of potash to fertilizers containing phosphorous and nitrogen will not be profitable when applied to clay and loam soils. 'Nine farmers out of ten should fer tilize wheat this fall. Fertilizer not only increases the yield directly, but the greater supply of available plant food makes stronger plants that with stand the attack of fungus diseases and insects better than those unfertilized. At present prices the farmer may ex r)ect a return of at least five dollars for every dollar spent for wheat fertilizer th-is fall. The importance of ordering early cannot be too strongly emphasized. Those who order early will get what -they want, while those who order late will have to take what is left or do with, out.
