The Guard throughout the na-

Washington on his birthday by
(Observing “Muster Day.” The
term derives from an old militia
custom whereby able-bodied men

‘We Can Increase
Our Crain Yield’
.f- D. ALLEN, County Agent
Nitropn IS the key plant food
for high yields of small grain
Nitrogen must be applied at the
right time for best results.
Experiments at State College
show that nitrogen topdressing
gives largest yield increases when
if? between February 15 and
March 15. Since very little nitro-
small grain in
the fall as a rule, the crop is very
dependent upon the supply pro
vided in the ^ring. The experi
ments have also shown that yields
are not increased as much by ap
plications after March 15 as they
^e when nitrogen is applied ear
lier.
Stress Period
Nitrogen requirements by small
largest during March
and April when growth is so rap
id. It is during this stress period
that nitrogen should be available
in the soil for rapid uptake by
small grain roots. This is why
you should apply nitrogen be
tween February 15 and March 15.
Many Moore County farmers
have already spent a lot of money
on their grain crop. How much
they get for their labor and other
investments will depend largely
on timely topdressing this spring
Proper Rale
In addition to the right time
you'should use the proper rate.
The general recommendatiohs are
30-45 pounds of actual nitrogen
per acre on heavy soils. This
would be 100 to 200 pounds of am
monia nitrate or its equivalent
per acre. On sandy soil, 60-80
pounds of actual nitrogen per
would be from 200 to
300 pounds of ammonia nitrate, or
its equivalent, per acre.
In experiments at State College
60-70 pounds of actual nitrogen
per acre have often given yield
increases of 16 to 18 bushels of
wheat per acre and 30 to 35 bush
els of oats per acre. In some
cases the yield increases have
been even larger.
The larger yield increases from
nitoopn are very dependent on
certain factors. There should be
a good stand of an approved va
riety and adequate levels of soil
phosphate and potash before you
spend money for nitrogen
dressing.
