NAHUNTA, GEORGIA Field Tests Show Fertilizer Value In Growing Corn Georgia farmers who cut pro duction costs of corn by reducing fertilizer rates are practicing false economy, according to re sults of test plantings at three fertility levels at the College Agricultural Experiment Station at Athens. The tests, conducted by Agro nomists H. D. Morris and H. F. Perkins, show that production of 50 acres of corn without fertili zer would actually result in a net loss. Fertilization of the corn at the average Georgia rate would decrease the farmer’s in come $1,400 below what it would be if the corn were fertilized at the highest level used in the tests. Morris said that in the tests the low fertility rate for corn, which is about average for the state, was 30 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphorus and 15 nounds of potassium per acre. The high rate was 90, 60 and 60 pounds of these elements. “Complete elimination of fer tilizer reduced the production cost of corn about $25 per acre as compared with the high fer tilization rate, but this reduced the yield from 62 to eight bushels per acre,” he declared. “The value of the unfertilized corn was actually $4.66 less per acre than production costs.” He said that reduction of fer tilizer t o the low rate cut the cost of production $13.38 per acre but lowered the yield by 23 bushels with a corresponding de crease in net income of $21.12 per acre. Per acre value of the corn at the three rates was sl2, $58.50 and $93. Production costs per bushel and per acre were: $2.08 and $16.66; $.72 and $27.97; and $.67 and $41.35. Included in pro duction costs were costs of equip ment based on data supplied by the University of Georgia Agri cultural Economics Department, labor, seed, fertilizer and har vesting at prevailing prices in 'he Athens area, Morris explain ed. Land tax or rent was not in cluded. The agronomist pointed out that rainfall was considerably below average during the grow ing season and that he believes the difference in yields at the three fertility levels would have been greater in a normal season. In evaluating the tests it should be kept in mind that fertilization is only one of several good man agement practices, M< rris said. It pays off best when combined with good seed. liming, rotation?, .oil testing, and other approved practices. Irrigation, of corn can be pro fitable if the crop is planted and fertilized for too bushels m mor per acre Some Liability, Fire Insurance Rates Are Cut ATLANTA — Automobile lia bility insurance rate reductions which will save Georgia policy holders an estimated $1,000,000 annually, went into effect Feb ruary 15, Insurance Commission er Zack Cravey announces. Cravey also announced adjust ment in fire insurance rates on farm property, effective April 1. He said new rates will mean an annual saving of about $400,000 in fire insurance premiums. Rate reductions ranging from 9 to 32 per cent are slated for approximately one-fourth of the private passenger cars insured by member and subscriber co n n-mies of the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters. Among those who will pay lower rates are fathers who have daughters under the age of 25, but no sons under that age who drive the family car. Husbands over 25 whose wives are under that age will also pay less. Cravey explained rates were adjusted “to recognize that the family car is a less hazardous risk when youthful drivers are young women rather than young men.” A ten per cent reduction in premiums was announced for drivers under 25 who have com pleted accredited drivers’ train ing courses approved by the Na tional Education Assn. ■ I [ SERVICE B ■ A —4l KNIGHT-VICKERS DRUG STORE Wit.
