Timely Farm Question
Question: Is it necessary to ap
ply any fertilizer to vegetable
crops after planting?
Answer: The quality of succu
lent vegetables is dependent up
on rapid growth and it is often
necessary to make a side applica
tion of quickly available nitrogen
in order to maintain vigorous
growth. The time of applying the
side dressing will depend upon
the vigor and maturity of the
crop and upon seasonal condi
tions. The grower must use his
own judgment as to when to ap
ply the side dressing.

killed in traffic accidents In

months of 1940.
