PAGE TWO the franklin Press and the highlands maconian THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1939 I I h v. Iv 5:i Fertilizer In Right Spot Boosts Yields Yields are .usually bigger, crops earlier4 and quality better it ferti lizer is placed in two-inch bands to the side of the row and approx imately on the level with the seed or seedling roots, instead of being broadcast or placed below or too far from the row, says- C. B. Wil Hams, head of the State college agronomy department. When fertilizer in large amounts is placed under, above or around the seed or seedling at the time of planting, early . injury will oc cur under certain moisture condi tions, he added. Citing the results of field tests by the State college experiment station, Prof. Williams said ferti lizer to the side of the row in stead of mixed in the row gave average acre increases : of 104 pounds of .seed cotton, 29 bushels of potatoes, and 165 pounds of to bacco. In comparison with plots where fertilizer was in bands one inch under the seed or seedling roots, side placements increased yields of seed cotton 253 pounds per acre, potatoes 28 bushels per acre, and tobacco 155 pounds per acre. At this time of the year, when many farmers are applying ferti lizer, it Ls wise for them to heed the results of fertilizer-placement tests conducted by other farmers, under the supervision of the ex periment station, the agronomist stated. . "We recommend that the nearer fertilizer can be placed to the seed . without injury to germination the more effective it. is, but if ap plications are moderately heavy to heavy, it is safest to put the ferti lizer in bands along both sides of the seed and at a depth varying with the crop," Prof. Williams con cluded. . LOWER The U. S. department of agricul ture has announced that develop ment of the early lamb crop during March was below average . for the country as a whole and much be low the exceptionally favorable de velopment in March of last year.

Y. Floyd, AAA executive of ficer at State college, says farm ers are being offered first-hand information about the application of the 1939 Triple-A program to their farms through what is known as the "farm plan." County AAA committeemen are meeting with each farmer to help him work out his "farm plan," which is an outline of the way the program works on the individual farm in 1939, Floyd points out. Through this personal contact with the committeeman, the farmer who desires to participate this year will be able to obtain information as to the application of the program to his farm. These "farm : plan" conference include a discussion of the soil depleting crop allotments for the farm, and the working out of a list of soil-building practices which will enable the farmer to earn the maximum payment, the AAA offic er said. . The list of .soil-building practices includes those most need ed on the farm and which are not routine farming practices. The "farm plan" also contains information about rates of pay ments, rate of . deductions, and credit which will be given for each soil-building practice, Floyd ex plained. Any farm operator who does not have the opportunity to work out a "farm plan" with his com mitteeman within the next few weeks should contact the county farm agent's office or his local committeeman to obtain this ser vice, Floyd advised. A copy of the "farm plan" will be given the farmer to help him carry out the program on his farm. Marine Crops Offers Training For Young Men ' The Savannah 'recruiting office of the U. . S.
