Soil Needs Testing tacn year, a great deal of da mage is done to many North Carolina crops by improper placement of fertilizers. This does not necessarily mean too much fertilizer is being used but rather that it is being used improperly. Fertilizer injury may rseult in poor seed germi nation, stunting of early growth or outright death of the young plant. With a new planting sea son rap'dly approaching now is a good time to consider the im portance ofr proper fertilize placement reminds Mr. E. L. Dillingham, County Extension Chairman. While almost everyone realizes that the use of fertilizers is a necessity for profitable crop pro duction, many grower’s do not realize that the placement of plant fertilizers may also make the difference between a good > crop and a crop failure. Fertilizeers containing or po tassium can cause fertilizer in jury when placed in direct con tact with the seeds or trans plants. When fertilizer is applied at planting t'me it should be banded 2-4 inches to the side and 2 4 inches below the seed. In general, no more than 50 pounds of nitrogen or potass’um should be appi : ed at planting tme unless it is properly band ed. Even with proper banding equ : pment it is des’rable not to exceed 80 pounds per acre of Wi ARE tOOSING MONEY I You Caa SAVE With Thatt 10W Dinoiat Prices AT POLLARDS DRUG STORE Burnsville r N. C.

With crops like tobacco or ve getables where ‘at planting’ fer tilizer applicat'ons normally ex ceed these guidelines, great care should be taken io ssure that ni fertilizes comes in d'rect con tact with the roots of the trans plants at setting time. With these crops best results have been ob tained by transplants between two bands of fertilizer about 8 inches apart. The next best methdo is to place a S’neJe band deep enough so the fertilizer is at least 4-6 inches below the roots after the plants are set. If large amounts of nutrients are needed td build up low soil nu trient levels or if more nutrients than are normally suggested are to be used, consideration should be given to broadcasting at least part of them. Another fac tor to keep in mind is that phos phorus requirements of the crop should be suppl'ed before or at the t ; me of planting since phos phorus is in great demand dur ing the seedling state and is not as efficiently used when applied as a topdressing. The best way to determine the l : ne and nutrient needs for a crop is to have your soil tested. There is still time to have your soil tested for this year’s growing season. Soil sam pl ng supplies are available at your County Agricultural Work er’s Office. Following the sug gestions on your soil test report and plac ng the fertilizer prop erly will help to assure a profit able yield.
