Use Fertilizer to Advantage
Albemarle, July 20—An average yield of 38 ½ bushels per acre of Leap’s prolific wheat was secured from one six-acre field on the farm of T.J. Efird in Stanly county, reported County Agent Oscar H. Phillips. This wheat was grown on land which previously had been limed and sown to clover. This same land produced a crop of corn and cotton last season, having received 650 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate per acre before planting and 200 to 300 pounds of ready mixed fertilizer per acre when the crop was planted.
When the wheat was sown, a mixture of 350 pounds of 10-4-4 and 16 per cent acid phosphate was applied. Mr. Efird stated that he used on his farm about a car of lime during each of the past four years.
