v-Farmers of Duplin County are
urged to order now and accept
delivery on at leaest part of their
3 fertilizer needs be
fore the planting season begins
says County Agent Reynolds. This
wui reduce the possibility of ten
porary shortages because of clog
ging vi distribution lines at the
peak -season of fertilizer use.
'fertilizer nas not been moving
rapidly enough in some areas to
assure smooth distribution later
on according to Information re
ceived from officials In the U. S.
Department of, Agrclulture This
can . lead to a 'last minute rush
which arm spell trouble for farm
ers who delay their fertilizer pur
chases. Achievement of the high
production goals set for 1953 will
depend in part -upon use of larger
quantities of fertiliser. .Spread
ing of purchases over : a oerlod
longer than the 'normal peak sea
son in Maren ana April will reduce
distribution and delivery problems.
Demand for all three- primary
plant nutrients. c nitrogen phos
phate and potash Is expected to be
up this year. The Department of
Agriculture ana the Land Grant
CcUeges- are cooperating In a pro
gram to promote more efficient
use of .fertilizer materials and in
many areas this win call for in,
creased use of one or mere ef the
plant nutrients. ; The . purpose of
tms program is to increase yields
per acre improve the productivity
of the soil and raise the net re
turns ta farmers.
, The total supply of fertilizer Is
expected to be up about 12 per
cent over last year but the Depart
ment ef Agriculture predicts that
certain desired types of fertilizer
such as higher analysis phosphate
materials and .ammonium nitrate
may fall short of all demands.
Samara takln early delivery on
fertilizer should make certain that
the materials received are id good
condition so that they will with
stand storage in a reasonably dry
and protected place.
