The only accurate ?ay to feed any crop plant the right amount of fertilizer is by having your >oil< analyzed. A aoil analysis report will give you an idea of the amount of the more important fertiliier elements that are present in your soils and the right amount to be added to meet the needs of any crop grown on your farm.

With the production cost much in excels of what it should be in relation to the sale price of all farm crops, it would certainly aeem false economy to apply more commercial fertilizer than the crop plants could use. Those of you tobacco growers who send in soil samples, in addi tion to receiving the regular soil analysis report, will receive a spe cial report giving you information on fertilizer placement and the in fluence of heavy rainfall on nitro gen leeching. Many times we are told that slow starting . tobacco and poor stands are due to fertilizer injury, especially under dry weather con ditions when plants are set in the field The fertilizer should be ap plied in bands three to four inches to each side and slightly below the plant roots. If you do not have band place ment equipment, the fertilizer should be placed in the row and bed so that the fertilizer is four inches or more below the roots. Tobacco growers that use more than the recommended amount of fertilizer at planting should be careful in the method of placing fertilizer. The suggested fertilization prac tices based on soil test results, take into account the organic mat ter, sand and clay content of the soil.

Blessed are you who talk with us in public places and ignore the stares of strangers; for in your companionship we find havens of relaxation. Blessed are you who never bid us "hurry up"; and more blessed are you who do not snatch our tasks from our handx to do them for ua; for often we need time rather than help. Blessed are you who stand be side us as we enter new and un tried ventures, for our failures will be outweighed by the times we surprise ourselves and you. Blessed are you who ask our help for our greatest need is to be needed. Blessed are you, when by all these things, you show us that the thing that makes us individuals is not in our peculiar muscles and speech systems, but in the God given self which no infirmity can confine. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad; and know that you give us reassurance that could never be spoken in words; for you deal with us as Christ dealt with the slow and the peculiar.
