LIQUID NITROGEN
Farmers all over the county are
becoming interested in the use of
liquid Nitrogen to top dress their
small grain, corn, ahd pastures.
The State College Experiment
Station has published a bulletin
which in effect states that a pound
of Nitrogen in liquid fprm is just
as effective as an equal'aptount of
Nitrogen in solid fertilize*.; They
urge all farmers to use a stfffio
‘ ient amount of ! Nitrogen , since
j this element is so often the limit
ing factor in determining ertVp
yields.
