LIQUIDS REPLACE DRY FERTILIZER Helps to Prevent Big Loss Caused by Drouth. By DR. V. A. TIEDJENS Olericulturist. N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station.) (Associate LONDON, ENGLAND. This pretty London girl is wearing the new uniform of the British postwomen. They used to wear skirts but the government has sanctioned trousers if the women prefer to wear them. Farmers need no longer fear the bugaboo of drouthy years that heretofore have robbed them of returns they should have had on their fertilizer dollars. They are licking the problem by applying fertilizer in solution instead of in the dry form to vegetables, farm crops, pastures. By thus applying chemical fertilizer dissolved in water, the burning of fertilizers applied dry is eliminated and phosphates are made ' more available. Liquid fertilizers are used as starter solutions applied to the roots of plants when they are set, or applied in the drill with beans, corn, and other seeds. They may also be as the applied as a crops are growing. Regular fertilizer mixtures may be used for liquid applications, but they usually have so much residue that the solution must be prepared a day or two in advance and the liquid separated from the residue. These mixtures are too acid for starter solutions, but may be used for purposes. ' Higher analysis mixtures have been used to better advantage when the phosphorus was derived from phosphate. A mixture, made with urea, phosphate, muriate of potash and nitrate of soda and used at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds in 50 gallons of water, has given very good results as a starter or side dressing solution. This mixture is almost wholly, soluble and can be . made up aa it is used It becomes sticky when exposed to the air. Liquid fertilizers have given more economical results than dry mixtures due to the greater availability of the phosphates. Liquid fertilizers have been used successfully to grow large acreages of tomatoes, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, sweet corn and celery. In every case yields were better because, as growers stated, the crops grew in spite of dry weather. side-dressi- side-dressin- mono-ammoniu- m mono-ammoniu- m g 13 Spring Pasture Feeding . Changes Flavor of Milk . Slight defects in flavor may prevent full enjoyment of milk and thus curtail its use, says H. A. Herman of the Missouri college. It is to the interest of every producer or handler of milk then to protect the flavor of milk and its products., Flavors in milk may originate at various stages in its production and handling. - Bad flavors are not necessarily associated with the safety of milk for food purposes. In early spring, and in particular on short and pastures, weed, flavors "are quite common since cows are forced to eat herbage they might otherwise refuse. Cows in milk should not be forced to depend too heavily on pastures infested with wild onions or similar If "the dairyman has no weeds. other choice, however, he can hold the flavors imparted by these various weeds to a minimum by removing the cows- 3 to 6 hours before milking time. A change from dry feeding tc grass always results in a different flavor appearing in the milk, and customers sometimes . complain. These flavors can be prevented by following a well planned routine of feeding. weed-infest- . ed Farm Notes Total American crop production this year was the second largest on record, being surpassed only in 1937, reports the U. S. bureau ol agricultural economics. More than 1,000,000 frozen-foo- d lockers in more than 3,200 plants are now available to families of the United States, reports the Farm Credit administration. Good pasture is the best source of vitamin A for live stock. Vitamin A promotes growth, health, vigor, long life, appetite, digestion reproduction, and resistance to infection. a The American flag flies from a police car overturned by workers during the strike of workers at the parent plant of the Bethlehem Steel company. (See below: Strikes) YUGOSLAVIA: Coup Joining the Axis powers by the government of Jugoslavia was one thing. Getting the people to swallow this action was another. The sign-ufollowing periods of governmental collapse and revivification, was the signal for demonstrations over the entire country, created and given its autonomy after World War I by the Treaty of Versailles. Serbs, Croats joined in the outburst, and there were parades through Belgrade with young fellows carrying what American and British flags they could find, vocally and loudly criticizing the government for failing the public in its hour of need. Then, two days after the signing of the pact came the dramatic report of a coup detat by which the army overthrew the, evident pro-axgovernment of Regent Prince Paul. King Peter II, not yet 18 years old, assumed the throne and a government was sworn in which was p, is pledged to defend Jugoslavias independence. The nations army was immediately massed and dispatched to battle stations along the country frontiers. Britain and Greece hailed these reports as great news and Adolf Hitler immediately demanded a statement of the new government as to their attitude toward the pact the two countries had signed but 48 hours earlier. But from Bulgaria came reports that the Nazis were not waiting for a reply to Hitlers demand. German forces in that dountry reportedly began a swift movement toward the Jugoslav frontier. General sentiment in Sofia, Bulgarias capital, was that the installing of a pro-Briti- sh and pro-Gre- ek govern- ment in Jugoslavia would precipitate a general Balkan war. As the war fever rose steadily in Jugoslavia and as the people cheered the new regime that had its army lined up in defiance of the Axis, the y Balkans took the spotlight of World war H. No matter what the outcome Jugoslavia had at least tendered a serious diversion to the timetable of Adolf Hitler. Defeating Jugoslavia would be no simple task, many military experts predicted. It was assumed that the great northern plains of the nation would have to be abandoned as they would offer easy going for the swiftly moving mechanized Nazi ever-storm- legions. Real battle would come, it seemed, in the mountain terrain of central and southern sections of the coun- try, Jugoslavia has a comparatively good army, and is considered the best of the small Balkan natidfis. It numbers 1,200,000 men. The U. S. reaction to the new government in the tiny Balkan nation was immediately favorable. The state department assured Jugoslavia that it would assist that nation in resisting any aggression. STRIKES: And Night-Stic- k The resumption of work at the Harvill plant, bottleneck of Pacific plane building, provided no respite for Uncle Sams headaches in production spasms, for Washington frankly was expectant of strikes in 12 more vital plants. No. 1 was not long in coming, for the main plant of the Bethlehem Steel company, in Bethlehem, Pa., was next. The big polls got busy and found that the public was con frere is Wendell WiUkie (right) with MacKenzie King, Canada's Prime Min- ister, as the G. O.
