Show f (Fertilizer Suggestions For Now is a good time to apply fertilizer to lawns, shrubs, and gardens. We often have questions concerning fertilizer application. What materials should be used? What is the best fertilizer to apply? How much should be applied? The answers to these questions is related to your individual situation. Fertilizer For Lawns Manure has been used for years for application to lawns. This is still recognized as good material However, manure is messy, and may bring in weed seeds. In addition, the organic affects of manure are not as important on lawns as in other situations. We, therefore, suggest that you consider commercial fertilizers, for your lawns. When you select a fertilizer, remember that nitrogen is for grass, and that phosphate is for clover. If you like clover in your lawn, you should apply phosphate; however, you dont need to apply it every year. One pound of trebble super phosphate per 100 sq. ft. should satisfy the phosphate requirements for clover in lawn for at least years. If you are not interested in clover, one application of phosphate should last your grass at least years. Grass needs nitrogen every year. Nitrogen can be applied early in the spring and again in the summer when the affects of the spring application wear off. You can use amonium sulphate or amonium nitrate. One pound of amonium sulphate or one half pound of amonium nitrate per 100 sq. ft is adequate. Dont exceed these amounts very much or you may burn your lawn. In case you get too much on, irrigate heavily, and avoid the burning effects. Fertilizer For Shrubs Many home gardeners have found that manure or a compost applied to the surface of the soil under shrubs is very satisfactory. The manure need not be worked into the soiL It will work in gradually throughout the growing season through watering and weeding operations. If you dont have manure, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer at about half the rate indicated for lawns above. 2-- 4 5-- Avoid the use of too much phosphate on shrubs, as it may accentuate iron chlorosois problems. Speaking of iron chlorosis, this can be corrected by applying iron chelate. Your nurseryman will have this material. Apply it at recommended rates. Fertilizer For Gardens If manure is available, use it on your gardens, and plow it under, preferably in the fall. If manure contains a lot of straw, you will need to add nitrogen fertilizer. It will also pay to add some phosphate fertilizer with the manure, once every 4 years. You can satisfy the fertilizer requirements of your garden with commercial fertilizers. We suggest you apply 2 lbs. of ammonium nitrate or 3 lbs. of ammonium sulphate per 100 sq. ft.- - of garden area. This should be applied each year. You may want to divide this application: apply some in early spring, when your garden is plowed, and the rest later on. Your garden phosphate needs will be satisfied if lbs. of treble super you apply phosphate once every 4 years. Be wise in your selection of fertilizers. Dont be fooled by 2-- 2-- 2-- 3 2-- products sold as soil conditioners, and other patented mixtures. Use standard brands, and buy your fertilizers from reputable dealers. cure-all- s, THE BERRYS Carl Grubert P&THE BERRYS" A BOND A MONTH THE PAYROLL SAVINGS WAY (Z Home Hard ners high-elevati- ecutive director of the Dairy Council of Utah.

Ward Blazzard of Kamas Valley Lumber' Co., Kamas, Utah tree farm chairman, who presented tree farm signs and certificates to the new tree farmers in formal ceremonies at Salt Lake City, said forestry' operations on both tree farms are being carried on under written management plans prepared in cooperation of the state forestry department. Blazzard said the tree farm movement is a program sponsored by the forest industries to recognize and encourage good forestry practices by private owners. It is sponsored Western throughout the Pine Region by Western Pine Association, an industry agency. In Utah, the program has close support and cooperation from Utahs state forestry department. The I.

Some 6500 tree seedlings were planted on three acres there last year, according to Theo Richards, manager. With weeding and watering, 90 per cent have survived, and additional acreage inwill be planted at four-yetervals under the management plan. Richards said he plans to thin and shear trees in his plantation to grow symmetrically shaped trees for Utahs Christmas tree market. Poulsen said market opportunities for superior Christmas trees is good, since more than 60 per cent of Utahs Christmas trees currently come from outside the state.
