For farmers, who need more high-quality protein, this is the way to get de pastures need a readily available source of nitrogen. For summer pastures use 30 to wP pounds of nitrogen per acre on annual or perennial grasses and millet. It pays to use iSP— much as 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre on Costal Bermuda Grass. For permanent pas tures apply 40 to 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre by dribbling on FERAN in the fallen addition to other fertilizer. CORN needs plenty of nitrogen for big profitable yields. You can apply FERAN when you plow down cover crops or stalks, -to assure quick rotting into nitrogen-rich humus. Or apply 60 to 120 pounds of nitrogen from FERAN on the soil at side-dressing time. Or use FERAN in irrigation water. __JL CHEAPER IN THE LIQUID FORM Ask your county agent for circular 458—“ NITROGEN PAYS" Published by Pa. State University College of Agriculture. Extension Service.
