Booklet Describes
Need For Nitrogen
In Forage Crops
How important is nitrogen to
the efficient production of forage
crops? Every North Carolina live
stock farmer needs the answer.
A complete explanation is giv
en in the latest publication of the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
periment Station "Nitrogen in
Forage Production," Bulletin No.
3-3.-5, ly W. W. Woodhouse, Jr. and
P. S. Chamblee, professors of aj-
ro:itmy at N. C. State College.
T!s 24-page, illustrated booklet
introduces the farmer to some
t.tsi.', facts about f:rae crops,
to'h legumes and grasses.
""'itrogen, a component of rro
tc ;:.s, is a highly important nil-
, trient in all forages." explain the
authors. "All high quality for
a,5 require rather large amounts
of nitrogen from some source."
Because many forage plants are
.legumes, the nitrogen fertilization
of forage crops is a tricky busi
ness. T ""umes "fix" or gather in
r of their nitrogen require
l 11 s from th? atmosphere.

(wi'h no nitrogen) to eight tons
(with 400 pounds of nitrogen per,
acre). ,

is possible that a variety of pro
