C., September ? That North Carolina farmers havfe caught the spirit of scien- , tiflc approach to their farm prob- . lems and are actually conducting their own tests of latest In farm ing practices is disclosed by the results of personal interviews with 32,000 farmers. Fifty-three per cent of North Carolina farmers Interviewed re ported that they conducted experi ments in their own fields, tried out different kinds and amounts of fertilizer, and made compari sons on results obtained. This re presents a gatn of 23 per cent over the results of a former poll on this point and is 6 per cent above the : national average. Not only did the < survey conducted by The National j Fertilizer Association show that | farmers test the values of differ- , ent kinds of fertilizers and fertili zer practices, but 30 per cent re ported that they conducted ex- ] periments on fields with and with out fertilizer to find out for | themselves whether the practice pays. ' As a result of these trials, plus [ information obtained from their j county agents. State experiment jj stations, and fertilizer agents, 44 per cent reported they have im- , proved their methods of applying fertilizer in recent years. After considering the results of their tests, 70 per cent reportStt^j that they are planning to use more fertilizer, and only 14 per cent 1 stated they had had any unsatis factory results from fertilizer dur- i ing the past three years. | i The independent Investigative | spirit of the farmers in regard to modern scientific agriculture Is in | a large measure due to the stimu- ? latlng and accurate discussion of ! better farming practices carried on by newspapers, magazines, and State and national agricultural re search and extension and other agencies, both public and private. ? ?*????**** ? home demonstration' ? ?
