Show Yields Increase With Aid Of Phosphate Phosphate fertilizer has proved to be valuable when applied to pasture lands according to reports reports reports re re- re- re ports from the Utah Experiment Station Plots planted to pasture plants and fertilized ed wih phosphorus phosphorus phosphorus yielded pounds of green grass grass' per acre cut at 30 day intervals s during the growing season In contrast to this figure the unfertilized plots yielded only 1810 po pounds ds of green grass per acre with the same treatment save for the thc addition of phosphor phosphor- us A cow in milk will consume from 90 to pounds of green forage per day sa says s 's Professor George Q Bateman superintendent superintend superintend- ent of the farm The value of the fertilizer can be better fated when it is known that the unfertilized pastures tures carried a given number of cows for 49 days while the fertilized lands provided grazing for the same number of cows for Tor days or more than three times as long The full value of phosphorus as fertilizer to pasture lands cannot be measured entirely by increased yields of green forage Professor Bateman says because experiments experiments experiments ments have proved that the feed value of the crop has been raised as the nitrogen content was vas doub doub- doubled led Professor Bateman found that thata a good combination of ot fertilizer is isa isa isa a a mixture of barnyard manure and phosphorus At the present time a plot of 30 acres is carrying carrying carrying carry carry- ing 30 head of milk cows and 24 21 heifers |
