Georgia Fertilization Can Lower Production Costs In recent years, .much emphasis has been placed on corn fertiliza tion. Notwithstanding this fact, per acre yield of corn in the county still remains low. Lack of nitrogen and poor stands limit corn yields more of ten than any other factor. The most profitable rate of nitrogen depends on soil type, drainage, past management, including manure use, seasonal conditions and other factors. Generally speaking, the most profitable ni trogen rate is 20 pounds applied at planting followed by a side dress application of 50 to 80 pounds per acre. One dollar in vested in nitrogen will usually return $3 to $6- One nitrogen source will pro duce as much corn as any other source under good fertility con ditions. Therefore, farmers should purchase nitrogen on the basis of cost per pound of actual nitrogen and cost and conveni ences of application. Low potash soils are also limiting corn production on many farms in the county. To overcome low potash soils, farm ers should use a fertilizer with a high potash content, such as 5- 10-15, or apply a broadcast ap plication of muriate of potash. Liming is another basic soil management factor. Its use when needed will not only increase the yields of corn but may increase the effectiveness of mixed fertili zer, too. A large percentage of the soils planted to corn in the county are acid and need lime. One of the most important causes of low fertility profits is the failure to add the proper balance of nutrients. Omitting any needed fertilizer element may result in little increase from others. Also, addding nutrients not needed or at higher rates than needed increases cost and decreases profits. Adequate rates of fertilizer and lime, use of adapted corn varieties, which will yield well Shown, I. to r., Keith Strickland of Nahtntn. representing the Blackshear Manu- \ factoring Co.; Roy Jordan, FFA corn champion; and W.
