On North Carolina farms, un
der present economic conditions,
fertilizer is still at the top of the
farmer's bargain list, according
to Warren County farm agent
Frank Reams.
Reams is urging his fellow far
mers to go easy on everything
but fertilizer. He says that in
1940 every dollar invested in
fertilizer brought a $2 dividend
in extra crop. Six months ago the
same investment brought an aver
age return of $3.75, with divi- j
dends on certain specialty crops
like tomatoes running as high as
$15.
Even with a slump in market
prices far greater than experi
enced in recent months, Reams
says, fertilizer, properly used,
will remain the most efficient
guardian of the, farmer's welfare.
By increasing output per acre
through fertilizer use, a farmer
can not only improve his soil but
maintain and even bolster his net
income.
The explanation, Reams says,
lies in the fact that while prices
of other commodities the farmer
buys have risen more than 100
per cent, the price of fertilizer
had increased only about 50 per
cent.
Applying one ton of ground
limestone and 1,000 pounds of 2-12-12
fertilizer for alfalfa and
permanent pasture is a must, ac
cording to Reams, and adding
500 to 600 pounds of 0-9-27 each
year for maintenance is also im
portant. "Pick out the best looking pas
ture you can find and ask the
man who seeded and fertilized it
and you'll find that he economiz
ed in other farming operations
not fertilizer." says Reams.
