Raleigh, N. C;f March: 2. ? Small
grain thai looks pale in color and'
is evidently, r.ot doing so well, might
well be given a dose of quickly ,a vail
able nitrogen, at this time bt the year.
This ccurse o'f -treatment is pre
scribed by . Prof. G. B. Williams, head
cf the department cf agron: my at
State O-ile^e, who brieves that 100
pounds per acre of nitrate of Voda
o rits equivalent. 72 pounds of sul
phate of ammonia., might be broad
casted on the gr?i:n with god Effect.
He prescribes tMi teatment where
thh grain U off in c lor and the'
land if i well drained and not sour:
"The efficiency of sulphate f am
monia as compared- with nitrate of ]
soda is about 90 per rent," says Prof.
Williams... "This is proven by our
field teats." When the. sulphate ami
the soda are selling for about the
same . price, the -"sulphate is cheaper
to use* and ^qn'al}y-\is efficient as
top-dres^ling. It Li a lrttle si wer fp
?-ction but 'sufficiently rapid fcr afl
pnnctical> purposes." i* ? ' '
The applications of these t\to forms
of nitrogen should be made uniform
ly o>Ur the'* field5 about thex time' the
grain 19 beginning tosehS up shoots
ior the" seed heads. The exact time
will depend jn the poil and. the sea
sen, States Mr. William? it is best
always to* be sure that the plants
arc free from dew or raih so that
,the material wil ^n:t stick to \t.-o
leaves ahd injure them- t?y burning. -
If tlje small grain plants have. ,?
healthy green color, .V is hardly ioc
essary to go to "the expense of rjr
chasapg the nitrate materials -"fpr tip
