Fertilizer Grain Crop At Planting Tests by the N. C. Agricultu.cn Experiment Station show that sroal grains should be fertilized at th time of planting to obtain large yields and extra profits, reports Di E. R. Coiiins, in charge of Extensioi agronomy at State College. Growers should use ouO pounds c 3-9-6 or 4-10-6 per acre in the core tal plain and the same amount o 3-12-0 or 4-12-4 in the piedmont am mountains. On fertile soils, wher less nitrogen is required, he sug gests 300 pounds of an 0-14-7. Where small grains are to fumisi lal! grazing, the agronomist rccom mends the use of a complete fertil zer carrying about 5 or 6 per ccr nitrogen for a quick growth. Small grains should receive a to dressing during late February o i arly March. Application of 100 t 200 pounds of nitrate of soda pe acre or its equivalent in sulphate o ammonia or ammonium nitrate giv good results. On potash deficient soils he vec ommends the use of 150 pounds o 10-0-10 per acre or in addition o 50 pounds of muriate of potash prat-re to the nitrogen which is used Other important factors beside for tilization in sucessftslly growini small grains, are thorough orenara tiou of the soil before planting, thi use of treated seed of the propei varieties, and sowing the crop earl; hnougli to make good growth bofori the winter freezes strike. "It costs no more to combine ; large crop than a small cmp," wai the comment of Collins on increase! yields team will again participate in the state race as it did year before las1 when it went to the semi-finals before being defeated by Haynes Higl of Winston-Salem.
