Show t Millard County Chronicle Thursday, March 10, 1960 How Do You Know Crops Heed liitroge The most satisfactory way to tell is a combination of several methods, say Utah State University Univer-sity agricultural people. Pale green or yellowish color and stunted growth is an indication of lack of nitrogen. Soil tests show the a-niount a-niount of total nitrogen and the amount of available nitrogen at the time the sample is taken. They do not indicate the ability of a soil supply nitrogen throughout the growing period. Under continuous cropping, growing plants and mi-ro-organisms use most of the nitrogen nitro-gen available. Therefore, there is little accumulation of nitrogen under these conditions. Under summer sum-mer fallow' conditions, a test for available nitrogen can be used as an aid in determining nitrogen needs. A simple method for testing on the farm is to skip a strip in the field when applying nitrogen. This strip will show what the yield would have been without extra nitrogen. On another strip make two trips with the spreader. This doubles the application and shows whether heavier applications would have been better. Rates of nitrogen fertilizer depend de-pend on nitrogen fertility already in the soil, crop grown, and yield expected. Nitrogen fertility is governed go-verned primarily by crop rotation, crop residues plowed under, green manure used, livestock manure used, soil organic matter, and soil type. The yield expected will depend de-pend on area, climatic conditions, soil conditions, good seed, desired plant population, irrigation practice and other phases of good management. Ylielher Your n? U.S.U. Kelps One should apply just enough nitrogen so it will no longer be the factor restricting yields. If poor irrigation practices are restricting yields, nitrogen applications above this level of production are costly and on many crops will reduce quality desired. If you can produce only 300 sacks of potatoes due to some management factor other than fertility, don't fertilize for a yield of 400 sacks. Quality of product pro-duct will bo damaged and your fertilizer dollar spent unwisely. Fertilizers Mole Good Soils Belter Assuming that the soil is in good tilth, that it. is well drained, and that any undue acidity or alkalinity alkali-nity has been corrected, we are then in a position to get full benefit bene-fit from recommended applications of chemical fertilizers. For fertilizers fertili-zers serve not only as sources of the mineral nutrients and nitrogen required by crop plants but of those required by the soil micro-organisms as well. Nitrogen and phosphorus phos-phorus are especially important constituents of their bodies. Crop residues are rapidly changed into compost when nitrogen is added, assuming that phosphorus and other required food elements are present in ample amounts in the soil. Use of fertilizers is the starting point with any unproductive soil, whether farm, lawn or garden. Fertilization provides a means of adding organic matter to all soils, improving their physical properties, and partially overcoming drouth, effects. For fertilizer means bigger crops, deeper root systems, and larger amounts of crop residues to be made into organic matter. There are millions of acres of farmed land that are naturally in good physical condition without any effort on the part of man. This is true of many of the sands and sandy loams on the coastal plain that extends from Massachusetts j to Texas, including virtually the whole state of Florida, except for the Everglades. Unproductivity of mucn or tnis iana is aue almost entirely to lack of -available nutrients nu-trients or to serious imbalance among them. Under such conditions, condi-tions, except where drainage is a major problem, a given field can be brought to a hieh state of nro- ductivity in one day, merely by ap-j plying the necessary lime and fertilizer. ferti-lizer.

Talks in Sunday School were given by LoRaine Johnson and Kent Turner. The youth 'banquet was an attractive at-tractive and entertaining affair youth of the Sutherland Ward, and friends from other wards. A menu of very delicious baked ham, yams, corn and lemon pie really hit the right spot and a program and dancing danc-ing followed the banquet. Miss Jill Tippetts, Miss Gayle Johnson, Miss Kathy Webb, Miss Evelyn Johnson and Miss Bonnie Bunker from Sutherland and many others from other, wards attended the F.H.A'. Annual Convention at Salt Lake, beginning Friday, March 4 and Saturday, March 5. On Friday Fri-day the program carried the theme: Training For Acting Citizenship. Meetings began Saturday morning, finishing the day with a banquet. The theme Saturday afternoon af firmed that "Youth Can Do." At the banquet and program Saturday evening were present, Dr. and Mrs. J.D. Williams, Dr. E. Allen Baitman, Dr. Braithwate, Mr, and Mrs. Wil-burn Wil-burn Ball, Mark Nichols and six foreign exchange students. The subject, "Youth In Todays World", was delivered by Carol Ralphs, former for-mer American Dairy Princess. Miss Johnson and Miss Tippetts attended attend-ed the Convention last year and the guest then was Miss Utah. Miss Evelyn Johnson was a candidate for State F.H.A. 2nd Vice President.
