Lyerly chapter of Future Farmers of
America will have another hay and grain
demonstration somewhere near Lyerly
High school this year. The demonstration
consists of two acres of grain or hay,
showing the use of American Arcadian
nitrate of soda as a top dresser for small
grain or hap. We will have four half
acre plots, one half-acre, no soda; one
half-acre, 100 pounds soda ; one half-acre,
200 pounds, and one half-are, 300 pounds.
This demonstration was run on oats
as a hay crop on the farm of Gus Wil
liams in 1937-38. It w T as run on the Beh
olds bottoms in wheat, 1938-39. Both
demonstrations showed a large increase
in yield and that it pays to use two or
three hundred pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre.—Willard Jackson, Reporter.
