- Money invested in nitrogen for
spring explication, to small grain
will pay larger dividends than any
other investment made in the pro
auction or the grain, declares Mr.
McLendon, .County Farm Agent.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station baa conducted a large num
ber of tests to determine the value
Of various nitrogenous fertilizers,
and the best amounts to use. With
wheat 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda will give five to eight bushels
Increase. At present prices, a five
bushel increase will give 13.80 per
acre above the cost of-nitrate of
soda, wheat will not give as Urge
an increase for the second hundred
pounds of nitrogenous fertilizer.
For this reason 100 to 150 pounds
of nitrate of soda Is recommended,
i Oats pay well for nitrate of
soda up to 200 pounds. Usually the
first hundred pounds will give 15
an the second
hundred from 10 to 15 bushels In'
crease over the first V'.v.n?;;-.;-
To get the best results, top
dressing on small grain should be
done early. . ' :
f The nitrate cf'sodi can be ap
plied .' broadcast over the small
grain without any covering, but it
Is advisable to run over the small
grain after applying the nitrate of
