Orders For Fertilizer
Should Be Placed Early
i To be more sure of getting fer
tilizer requirements for the 1948
| crops, Tar Heel farmers should
place their orders early and ac
cept the fertilizer as soon as it can
be delivered, say Extension Agron
omists at State College.
BAing their statement upon in
formation received from the Plant
Food Intsitute of North Carolina
and Virginia Inc., they advise far
mers who have a dry place and
can store their fertilizer to place
their orders and begin to accept
delivery of it.
Sincc such a large tonnage of
solid nitrogen is being sent to for
eign countries, it is necessary for.
farmers in this country to use a
larger per cent of liquid nitrogen
than normal. Tank cars for ship
ping this nitrogen are very scarce,
and the normal supply of tank cars
is not sufficient to ship this con- |
centrated form of nitrogen. Too, it j
has to be used immediately upon j
delivery by spraying the liquid
into superphosphate, which makes
up the base for mixing commercial
fertilizer.
With the large demand for fer- -
tilizer in the West, and all over
the United States, it would be most ]
unfortunate for any of the regular 1
allocations of nitrogen for this sec
tion to have to be diverted be
cause of insufficient storage space?
at the manufacturing plants.
Since this particular area is so
deficient in producing the grain
requirements for the livestock,
farmers should do everything pos
sible to get the fertilizer needed
to produce the grains, hay, and j
pasture needed for the limited a- J'
mount of livestock, they said.
Grain export quotas for Novem- J
ber as announced by the U. S. D. A. j
total 788,800 long tons of wheat, j
flour (in wheat equivalent^, and.
grain sorghums. The November j
figure compares^with the October
export quota of 1,213,400 long tons.
