October 10, 1947 Farm Expert Discusses Fertilizer Outlook for Fall and Next Spring By D. S. Coltrane Raleigh.

At least, the gap stays just as big. From the standpoint of the North Carolina farmer, it appears at this time that tobacco farmers will get all the 3-9-6 tney want. Those who used 3-9-9 this past year should get a similar tonnage. Tobacco farmers should get as much or more top-dresser, 5-5-20 as during the past year. Farmers should get this fall and “next spring ample quantities of 3- 4-10-6; 5-10-5; and 4- High potash grades such as 2-12-12 and 3-9-12 and 0-12-12 will be short of demand.
