Applications for these demonstra tions vi|ere made on forms in the County Agent’s office. After the necessary information was secured and a map of the farm was made showing crop rotation, pasture land, roads, buildings, and streams the applications w/ere forwarded to the Tennessee Valley authority for their approval. All the applications sent from this county so far have been ap proved and the rrten have received their superphosphate and applied it on their demonstrations. The differ ent crops art classified into differ ent groups, and different amounts have been allocated according to the crops in each group as follows: Group 1: Permanent pastures, meadows and alfalfa, 200 pounds of superphosphate is allowed per acre for 90 per cent of the acreage where the pasture, meadow, or alfalfa is to be on the land for 4 years. Group II: Lespedeza and Red Clover. 100 lbs. per acre for 80 pe~ cent of the acreage is allowed where the crop is to be on the land for 2 years. If the crop is to remain on the land for only one year, 50 pounds per acre is allowed. Group III: Soybeans and cowpeas when turnod under: 50 lbs. per acre is allowed for 50 per cent of the acreage of soybeans and cow peas, when these crops are to be turned under for soil improvement. The fourteen men who have se cured superphosphate have a total acreage of 582.5 acres in crops and pastures in the demonstrations. There are 230 acres in old lespedeza and or Red Clover; 235.5 acres of new lespedeza or Red Clover to re main on the land for 2 years; 117 acres in permanent pastures; 2 acres in alfalfa; and 812 acres in peas and beans.
