New Test Program
On Soil Fertility
Operation “Soil Fertility,” an intensi
fied educational campaign to increase
farm income through more efficient
use of lime and fertilizer, is being
launched on a test basis in six south
Georgia counties, according to w. A
Sutton, director of the University of
Georgia Agricultural Extension Serv
ice.
Counties selected for the test pro
gram, he said, are Tift, Worth, Laurens,
Coffee Colquitt, and Thomas. Intensi
fied work on fertilization will be made
a part of the county agricultural pro
gram for those counties and will be
directed by county agricultural agents
with the assistance of specialists from
the State Extension Service staff, rep
resentatives of the Georgia Plant Food
Educational Society, and many local
leaders from all walks of life.
Efforts to improve yields and, con
sequently, farm income in these six
counties, Director Sutton pointed out,
are a follow-up to the $200,000,000 soil
fertility program now being promoted
throughout the state. The program
will be expanded into other Georgia
counties as resources permit. Georgia
farmers can add at least $200,000,000 to
their income by using recommended
fertilizer practices, Director Sutton
said.
Primary objectives of the program,
according to Director Sutton, are to
make farmers and business leaders
aware of the major role fertilizer and
lime play in building a better agricul
tural economy in Georgia, to assist
farmers in carrying out the best known
fertilizer and lime practices, and to
increase farm, industry and business
income by sound fertilization methods.
Operation of the program will cen
ter around the theme of “Sound Fer
tilization Today Will Give a Better
Tomorrow."”
The work of the county agents in
the six counties will be supervised by
G. Y. Duke, district agent. Leadership
for technical information will be pro
vided by J. R. Johnson, Dr. Ralph We
hunt and Harold Curley, Extonsion|
agronomists, Cooperating with these
leaders will be other members of the
Extension staff such as entomologists,
horticulturists and irrigation special
ists.
Some of the reasons why an intensi
fied soil fertility program is needed in
Georgia, according to Wehunt, are:
1. Successful crop production de
pends on fertilizer and lime. Proper
use of plant nutrients is responsible
for a large share of the total crop pro
duction in Georgia.
2. Georgia soils are low in fertility.
Results from a large number of soil
analyses show that about half of Geor
gia's soils are deficient in potash and
phosphate and 30 per cent are too acid
for best crop production.
3. Georgia farmers are not using
enough lime and fertilizer. They could
profitably double use of mixed ferti
lizer and eight milljon tons of lime
are needed to bring soils to proper
levels. :
4. Many Georgia farmers are using|
the wrong kind of fertilizer. = About
35 per cent of the total fertilizer ton
nage sol in 1956 consisted of non-rec
ommended, low-analysis grades. Many
farmers also are using improper mix-‘
tures. ‘
5. Average per acre yield of crops|
is too low. It is estimated that per|
acre yields, with proper fertilization, |
could be increased as much as 78 per|
cent for some crops. |
6. Fertilizer is an economical pm-‘
duction tool. It is possible to obtain |
returns of from 100 to 300 per cent |
for money spent on fertilizer and lime. |
Returns are sometimes so spectaculari
as to be almost unbelievable. ‘
USES OF TREES IN LANDSCAPING§
————— |
In using trees in a home landscap-;
ing program, T. G. Williams, landscape |
specialist, Agricultural Extension Serv- |
ice, offers these recommendations: use |
native trees, do not plant trees in rows|
on the home lawn (group plantings arel
more natural looking), plant shade |
trees where they do the most good.!
do not “top” trees, do not fill in around |
the base of trees, do not overplant!
trees, and use hardy flowering trees
for color. ‘
