Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD, DUCHESNE, UTAH 1 FARM TOPICS Phosphate Big Factor in Plant Starvation and Lower Corn Yield food By checking signs of plant harveststarvation on the corn you ed this fall, you can take steps to increase yields next year. For example, if the corn in your crib has a lot of ears like those in the accompanying illustration, the crop was starved for phosphate. The reason for this was that part of the silks came out too late to catch any pollen. The kernels were not fertilized and so failed to fill out. The unfilled rows or parts of rows make the ears lopsided and curled. USDA Recommends DDT For Termite Control Seed Crop Marketing The 1950 spring seed crop in Alabama includes seed from crimson clover, blue lupine, Caley peas, white clover, burr clover, fescue small grains, and vetches. termites. The USDA says a single treatment of DDT will prevent termites from attacking woodwork for at least five years and anyone can apply the treatment. Heres the mixture to use: 5 per cent DDT in No. 2 fuel oil. It will give wooden structures complete protection from termites. Entomologists suggest digging a trench along the buildings foundation about 30 inches deep and about the width of a spade. Then the earth should be saturated at Ine bottom with the DDT preparation. The soil which is used to fill up the trench also should be saturated. Apply the treatment at the rate of one quart per cubic foot of soil. problems that a young lady was going to COr.lE AUD YOU GLUn FEEL Use Chewing-Gu- Laxative m REC0VES HASTE...

Ears are twisted and whole rows of kernels failed to fill. You can add phosphate to the soil next spring through the use of fertilizers carrying this plant nutrient. But corn needs other elements besides phosphate. It needs nitrogen and potash, too. So the surest way to keep your corn healthy and well fed and to get high yields per acre, is to give your soil a balanced supply of plant foods carrying all three major elements nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Good soil tilth is another essential for getting high corn yields. You can build tilth and put the soil in prime condition for growing corn, alfalfa and sweet clover, mellow the soil, loosen tight compactions below the plow layer and make the soil more porous so water and air can get in.
