March IS Last Day
To Gef Topdressing
RALEIGH March 16 is more
than Income tax deadline. It’s also
theifcst date on which Tar Heel
farmers can apply nitrogen top
dreksfhg to small grain and expect
best faults.
W. H. Rankin, small 'grain scien
tist with the North Carolina Ex
periment Station, says test shoto
that top dressing for small grain
should be applied as soon after Feb
ruary 15 as soil conditions permit.
Applications made after March 15
are less effective than those made
before that date.
“The months of March and April
are the period Os maximum growth
fir sm«l grain,” says Rankin.
"Therefore, it is essential that an
adequate supply of nitrogen be
availuMe before and during this
period."
The only benefit that may be ex
pected from an April application
is an increase in protein content of
the grain. This increase will not
Justify the cost of the appplicat

zer needed to maintain a dark vel

and to produce the maximum num
ber of large, strong tillers (stems)
varies with soil conditions.
From 23 field experiments con
ducted In 10 counties and covering
a wide range of soil conditions,
Rankin found the average soil sup
plied enough nitrogen to produce
only 14 bushels of wheat per acre.
By adding 30 pounds of nitrogen
per -acre, the yield was Increased
to 34 Bidjhels.
On most sandy soils and sOils
seriously depleted Jn nitrogen, 45
pounds of the mineral per acre
has been profitable, producing 30
or more bushels per acre.
Equally good increases occurred
with oats. DUrilK 1951, many yields
df more than fOO Bushels of oats
per acre were reported.
Rankin says Bo one thing can
make all the difference In small
grain yields. A Combination of gdod
cultural practices combined with
plenty of nltroien t» What fills the

turts haven't already been top
dressdd, do it right away! The tup
dresstng program should take pre
vious treatment into account. If
the pastures were properly limed
and treated with phosphate at)
seeding time, use 400 to 600 pounds
of 0-9-27 or 0-10-20 per acre. The
lower rates can be uSed on the red
soils of the Piedmont and moun
tains, but the higher rates and
higher analysis should be used on
Coastal Plain and Tidewater soils.
Dobson says 0-14-14 is good, espe
cially where extra phosphate hasn't
been applied and where part of the
pasture fertilizer com'es from ma
nure. Remember that 0-14-14 c6n
tains only a little more than half
as much potash per 100 pounds
as does 0-9-27. Therefore, the rates
of 0-14-14 must be higher. Try to
make that last figure add up to
at least 135 pounds in the COastil
Plain and Tidewater; to at least
100 pounds in the lower Piedmont;
and to 75 pounds In, the upper
Piedmont and mountains. Remem
ber, 'these are the. lowest amounts
you should use!

awfully hard last summer, fall, and

give some of your pastures a "break
and 4et them get a good growth
before heavy groking begins. Close
grazing in late winter and early
spring often means more weeds m
summer..
3. Keep cattle off new pastures

everybody won. Or did, until the
Senate became interested.
This happened when American
Overseas, with a total investment of

The details we’ll hear later. It
