High Analysis Fertilizers
Have you seen the high
analysis fertilizers on the mar
ket this year?
Grades such as 10-20-30 and
12-24-24 are on the market.
This, of course, is more of the
trend of moving to high analy
sis fertilizers.
If you use these high analy
sis fertilizers you must prac
tice proper fertilizer place
ment. Either band placement
three inches to one side and
three inches below the seed or
broadcast application where
applicable.
You must keep up a good
lime program since less calcium
will be in these high analysis
fertilizers.
Too, there is a possibility of
sulfur deficiency on cotton re
sulting from several years of
use unless a source of sulfur is
included in the mixture, or
sulfur is added to the complet
ed mix.

Cotton Seed Germination
Cotton seed germination and
early growth are sensitive to
soil temperature.
The minimum soil tempera
ture for germination and early
growth is 60 degrees. After
development of the early root
system, soil temperature is
usually of little concern.
Air temperatures below 60
degrees contribute little, if any,
to the growth of the cotton
plant and air temperature much
in excess of 100 degrees may

be unfavorable, especially if
repeated for several days.
You can see that cotton needs
a warm temperature to grow,
so think twice before you plant
this year, and make sure the
temperature is spring-like to
stay before you place those
seeds in the ground.

Growing Profitable Corn
Recently farmers in the
Money Maker Corn Club and
4-H Club members in the 4-H
Club 100 Bushel Corn Club
were honored at Rock Eagle.
Today lets look at some of
the things that these success
ful growers did in growing
their profitable corn.
The average fertilizer of the
Money Maker Corn Club mem
bers was 105 pounds of nitro
gen, 61 pounds of phosphate,
and 72 pounds of potash per
acre.
This corn was produced for
55 cents per bushel, and the
net profit was, of course, good.
Corn can be grown economi
cally here, and if you check
with me, I can give you addi
tional pointers on growing
economical corn.
« * • ♦
Soybean Production
Soybeans can be produced
as a cash crop.
You may handle soybean
production with equipment
used for small grain and corn.
Os course, you must make high
yields to make a profit, and
you can increase the present
yields of soybeans by follow
ing certain practices.
By all means use certified
seed, if possible, and plant the
recommended varieties.
Prepare your land thorough
ly, and get high economical
yields, soybeans should not be
planted after small grains, but
should be planted as the main
cash crop.
Follow your soil test recom
mendations, but generally use
at least 500 pounds of 0-10-20
or 5-10-15 per acre. Lime is
important, too; generally ap
ply 2,000 pounds of limestone
at least one month before
planting.
I have more tips for you on
making soybeans a cash crop
so contact me for additional
help.
