Mixes Fertilizer When the price of farm pro ducts » falling and the prices paid by farmers are rising there is a natural tendancy to cut costs .by cutting down on fertilizer. If lowering fertiliser costs is done at the expense of over-all soil fer tility a mistake is being made. These are the sentiments of agricultural leaders and many progressive farmers. Many are (finding it profitable to use high analysisr materials such as 33 per cent ammonium nitrate, 48 and 62 per cent phosphate and 60 per cent potash and mix their own re quired analysis. One such fanner is Milton Moretz of Watauga County. L. E. Tuckwiller, county agent for the State College Extension Service, says Moretz mixes all his own fer tilizer. For corn at planting he uses LOO pounds of 33 per cent nitrogen, 100 pounds ot 48 per cent phosphate and 100 pounds of 60 per cent potash. This gives him the equivalent of more than 500 pounds of 5-10-10. His cost is about $9.85. while 500 pounds of 5-10H0 would cost about $13.75. With his own mix he gets 33 pounds of nitrogen, 48 pounds of phosphate and 60 pounds of pot ash. With 5-10-10 he would get 25 pounds of nitrogen, 50 pounds of phosphate and 50 pounds of potash. Thus he gets eight pounds more nitrogen, two pounds less phosphate, and 10 pounds more potash for $3.90 less per acre by mixing his own. For blue grass pastures he uses 100 pounds of 62 per cent phos phate and 100 pounds 60 per cent potash. This gives him the equiva lent of more than 400 ounds of as C-14-14 per acre at a cost of $4,172 The cost of the 0-14-14 would he approximately $10. Sav ings would be $6.18 per acre. For alfalfa he uses 100 pounds 62 per cent phosphate and 200 pounds 60 per cent potash per acre. Costs on this is $7.72 pel ocre. In addition he uses 35 pounds of borax per acre every other year which costs approxi mately $1. Thus his yearly cost would be $8.52. Savings in this case amount to $4.48 per acre based on 500 pounds 0-9-27 per acre. These examples of savings are typical of what many demonstra tion farmers are doing, says Tucqwiller. But often many fail to convert high analpsis fertilizers to meet soil test recommenda tions. Many Causes For Chicken Lameness In all flocks of chickens, regard less of age, there will occasionally appear one or more birds that show some type of leg weakness. The careful poultryman becomes alarmed. Often this alarm is justi fied, then again an occasional case of lameness should be expected. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry selene department at N. C. State College, says there are several possible causes of lame ness ui chickens. In some cases it is possible that a collapse of certain nerve centers occurs, probably related to breed ing. Such lameness is not contagi ous. In very young birds, rickets (improper bone formation) will produce a lame condition in the birds. This is specifically a dietary deficiency and can be quickly cor rected if a proper diagnosis is made and the deficiency in the diet adjusted. Another type of Perosis (slip ped tendons). Perosis usually ap pears in birds six weeks of age or older. If a large number of birds show this condition, the cause probably is a lack of mineral bal ance in the diet. If only a single case, or a very few of a large flock sow the condition, it prob ably is due to the fact that these individuals are unable to utilize the mineral content of the diet. In his ease, nothing can be done, says Dearstyne. However there is a type of leg weakness which is a matter of concern. This is the nerve paraly sis brought about by the trouble known as Leukosis. Neural Leau kosis is what might be termed a disease of youth as it usually af fects birds from six to 20 weeks of age. I is caused by a very small germ and is transmissible from bird to bird. Usually when this trouble is present there is a steady number of birds coming down. While rickets and perosis may bo approached on a corrective basis, nothing can be done of neural leukosis. The afflicted birds should be destroyed. Birds show ing such nerve trouble seldom re cover and prove economic. Poul trymen should submit lame birds to a disease diagnostic laboratory where a careful diagnosis can be made. Often money can be saved if birds are submitted before the trouble becomes widespread in the flock. Dry I of Feeding Pigs Proves Profitable Harry Lanier, farmer of Wil liamston, Route 1, used to turn his hogs out into a field after har vest and leave them there to for age for themselves all winter— but not anymore. After studying market trends Lanier agreed to “drylot feed” some of his fall pigs, according to R. McK. Edwards, Negro county agent for the Agricultural Exten sion Service. EdwarJs says that on December 7. Lanier put 15 shoats averaging HO pounds each on fuel feed— corn, 10 per cent protein and minerals. On February 17, or al ter 72 days, the hogs were sold. They averaged 20.'! pounds each, or a total weight of 3,045 pounds, and brought 25 cents per pound. Lanier grossed $7(51.25; at the time the demonstration was start ed the 15 shoats were valued at $225. Lanier’s feed cost totaled $274 for 118 bushels of corn and 1,(500 pounds of mixed feed. His total investment totaled $440.(50, n cluding the value of the pigs when [the demonstration got under way. j A breakdown shows that Lanier received a labor return of $26.5(5 in 72 days—or about $3.63 per day. That's good money, especial ly when Lanier figures he spent only an hour a day feeding the hogs. Convenience played a large part in Lanier’s efficient operation, s.,ys Edwards. The hogs were en closed where waiter was already available. Self-feeders that requir ed filling only twice a week were also employed. At the lime the feed lot demon stration started 24 other less for tunate shoals were left to glean the fields for themselves. Right j now they weigh around 125 j pounds each.
