TIPS ON PROTECTING STORED FERTILIZER Since many farmers' wall be storing fertilizer this winter, which will be need- ed for next spring’s Crops, Dr. Emerson Collins, in charge of Extension Agro nomy at State College, makes the following sug gestions for protecting the fertilizer and keeping it in good condition. “Place the fertilizer in a good, dry place.” says Dr. Collins, “rather than under open sheds where rain may blow in on it or where it will absorb moisture. Ferti lizer must be kept dry, if it is to remain in perfect con dition, just as it is delivered by the manufacturer. “Do not put it on the ground or on a concrete floor,” is another sugges tion made by Dr. Collins. “If it is put on some logs and kept off the ground, it will remain in much better condition. Also it should not be stacked too high, as the bags on the bottom may be come packed. j “During the winter the fertilizer should be exam ined once or twice. If it ' shows any signs of harden ing, simply drop the bags to the floor and then pile the fertilizer again. If the other suggestions have been followed, this is not very liable to occur. v --_ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■«.
