Estimates are there will be a production of 12 percent more nitrogen, 10 percent more phos phate and 19 percent more potash. The agronomists say, however, that greater use of the plant food by farmers will offset the in creased production. The agronomists advise farmers to order their commercial fer tilizer early to be sure of having it on hand when seeding opera tions begin next spring. County Agent A. Neil Dawes suggests that you get the soil from your fields tested before ap plying fertilizer. Barnyard ma nure is worth $3 to $4 per ton. This year instead of how many loads hauled out, make it how many acres covered. He recommends using 3 to 6 tons of manure per acre. If you set the spreader to spread as thin as pos sible and you can see where you have gone in a stubble field, it is estimated you are applying be tween 3 to 4 tons per acre. The agent points out that barnyard manure adds both nitrogen and phosphorous and in addition adds the much needed organic matter to sandy soil which helps in water holding capacity. Remember, manures are valuable to you. Winkler Finishes 7 Months in Korea — EMMET—Army Sgt. Harold F.
