Low In Nutrients, County Agent Says Many soils in Cherokee county are low in one or more of the plant nutrients needed for high forage production. County Agent Paul L. Nave reported this week. In view of this, he advised far mers planning to seed alfalfa fields or pastures this fall to have their soil tested now and, after receiv ing their soil test reports, ( to lay in the right amounts of lime and fertilizer they wilT need to build up the short elements. "Studies by the North Carolina Experiment Station," Nave contin ued, "illustrate what happens when you fail to lime and fertilize pas tureland properly. Widely varying yields of dry Ladino clover hay were obtained from a field that was low in lime, phosphorus and potassium when different combina tions of these three plant-nutrient elements were applied. I Additions of lime, phosphate and | potash brough a yield of 6,103 pounds of dry hay an acre. Phos phate plus potash gave only 2,607 resulted in a yield of 3,274 pounds, "Leaving out any one of these materials reduced the yield from one-half to one-fifth of that which was obtained when all of these ele ments were applied." Nave urged Cherokee County far mers to take toil samples early, and send them to the Soil Testing Division, State Department of Ag riculture, Raleigh.
