Hatcheries in the mountain west will be contributing turkey eggs for the program during March. These will be hatched at Utah State University poultry farm. The one day old polts will be ready for distribution to the boys and girls the last week of April. Dr. C. I. Draper, USU Extension poultryman points out that young make arrangements to finance, feed and care for at least about 25 turkeys from the time they are a day old until mature. The polts will cost 50c each. The money will go to help finance the annual turkey tur-key show. Feed for that many birds will cost about $150. On the other hand, incentives In the program are very inviting. In 1959, 50 prizes were given, valued at $1,400.00. All first and second place birds in each weight class were auctioned for a total of nearly near-ly $5,000 with going to the con testants. All boys and girls enter ing birds in the program received market price plu3 5c per pound premium on their birds. Utah's grand champion hen placed third in Its weight class. Paul Anderson, Oak City, was the only 4-H'er in Millard County to enter the contest last year. r County Agent Marven Ogden lizer tests indicate you will be bet ter off not to use nitrogen on corn and small grains if: (1) these crops follow alfalfa; (2) the land has received plenty of good quality manure during the past year; (3) you are short on water.

Yet only about seven percent of West ern farmers use fertilizers at the most profitable rate. And uncomfortably uncom-fortably large number about 55 percent use no fertilizer at all. These surprise facts were revealed re-vealed last week by Dr. Richard Bahme of the National Plant Food Institute.

ABORTIONS Livestock producers in the county coun-ty and throughout the state have recently been r eporting an increased in-creased problem with abortions. To get at the base of this problem, prob-lem, Dr. Don W. Thomas, Extension vet rinarian, encourages any producers pro-ducers having abortion problems with their livestock to cooperate with the county agent, practicing veterinarian and state diagnostic laboratory In getting an accurate diagnosis of the cause. Many have been afraid that it might be a Leptospirosis (Lepto) epidemic. However, preliminary checks of some blood samples indicate indi-cate that Lepto Is very doubtful. There Is a very good possibility that Trichomoniasis (Trick), which is spread by bulls, is the culprit causing all the trouble. This disease di-sease is difficult to recognize as it requires an incubation period in the cows of three to seven months before any effect is evident. When Trick Is suspected, Dr. Thomas advises "having the bulls checked as the best and quickest method of diagnosis. It is even better than attempting to get a laboratory diagnosis of the aborted fetus, since the organisms seldom remain alive until the specimen reaches the laboratory. He also advises producers to never ne-ver overlook the possibility ob Brucellosis. Bru-cellosis. Calfhood bangs vaccinations vaccina-tions should be continued religiously. relig-iously. Another possibility Is Vibriosis (Vibrio). Considering these various posibilities, expert early diagnosis is important. . In areas where a practicing vee-erinarian vee-erinarian is. available, contact him. If one is not available, contact the county agent. They will work with the state diagnostic laboratory in determining the cause of your problem prob-lem and indicate what you should do to correct the situation and a-void a-void losses. Marvin J. Ogden County Agricultural Agent per acre Additional net cost per acre This additional net cost of $28.05 per acre, subtracted from the additional ad-ditional crop value of $16.60 per acre, leaves $18.55 extra net profit per acre merely from the use of phosphate fertilizer! For 80 acres, this additional net profit would total $1,484.00. Now, for that car. A new Ford, Plymouth or Chevy sells for about $2,500.00. And your '56 model should be worth approximately $1,000 In trade at Blue Book rates. This means that your extra alfalfa profit from one season's use of phosphate fertilizer will just about cover the difference. But this isn't all. Even when your new car is in your garage, your extra alfalfa yield will continue to pay dividends through higher protein pro-tein content and a higher phosphorus phos-phorus level. These added nutrients mean more pounds of beef per ton of hay, and therefore, more profit ' frnm vnlii" lli'nerrttr Can You "Grow" Hew Car from Alfalfa?

Campbell Western Phosphates Inc. If you have a low-priced 1956 car that you'd like to trade in on a shiny new '60 model, and 80 acres of land planted in alfalfa, you may actually be able to "grow" the cash difference for your new car from the alfalfa laand you've been using us-ing right along. Sound incredible? It isn't. . . .not if your alfalfa crop is growing in phosphorus-deficient soil. Reports from Western agricultural agricult-ural colleges show that growers can achieve spectacular increases in alfalfa yields and profits by applying ap-plying phosphate fertilizer to soils that need it. And to prov e that the additional net profit can be enough to put a new-model car in your garage, look at the results of this field study 'conducted by the Utah State Agricultural College Experiment Experi-ment Station. In a test on irrigated alfalfa land at Castle Dale, Utah, 108 lbs. of phosphorus per acre increased the alfalfa hay yield from 2.42 tons per acre to 4.75 tons per acre an increase of 2.33 tons for each acre harvested. For alfalfa hay selling at $20.00 per ton, this would be an additional crop value of $46.60 per acre! This is not all profit, of course, because the following costs must be subtracted: Cost of fertilizer 10.80 per acre Applying fertilizer 1.00 per acre Harvesting and hauling additional yield 16.25 come, Dr. Bahme stated. Reasons why farmers fail to use fertilizers at higher, more profitable profit-able rates were brought out in a survey which the institute made in 10 western states, including Colorado. Colo-rado. These reasons, which often can be branded as misconceptions, are as follows: 1. They feel that fertilizers simply sim-ply are not necessary, even though repeated experiments show that fertilizers can boost average crop production by 50 percent or more. 2. Lack of money. However, Dr. Bahme added, an increasing number num-ber of bankers are announcing ineir willingness even eagerness to finance fertilizer applications. 3. Farmers apparently believe that unfavorably weather is likely to have a much greater effect on results from fertilizer use. However, research indicates that fertilizer frequently can 'be used to help overcome unfavorable moisture conditions and to increase the efficiency ef-ficiency of water use. 4. A few farmers still believe that organic fertilizers (animal and green manures) are the best source of plant foods. But Dr. Bahme noted that it is extremely difficult to apply enough organic fertilizer to obtain enough of the essential plant food elements. And, in the final analysis, these organic forms must decompose into inorganic nutrients in order to become available avail-able for crop use. The study showed, Dr. Bahme concluded, that more vigorous educational edu-cational effort was needed to overcome over-come these harriers to fertilizer use. He urged fertilizer dealers, Land Grant College scientists, county agents and agricultural officials of-ficials to work together on an expanded ex-panded educational program. s , : i) : "J S " !u ,-t-- r:t, 1'-' v, v-- -..- I ; .
