of farmers was almost 6 4 million
by 1954 it had fallen to little moie

Stubble, Straw
Burning Costly
The practice of burning stubble
and straw is much more costly
than many farmers realize, ac
coidmg to Extension soils spe
cialists at South Dakota State Col
lege
To prove their point thejf say
that the straw and stubble from
one acre that has produced 50
bushels of oats contains 20 pounds
ot nitrogen, 6 pounds of phoxpho
rus 30 pounds ot potash, and 400
pounds of humus The same would
be true, they say, tor a 25 bushel
per acie wheat field oi 35 bushels
of barlej
Burning of such fields Would
mean a drop in yield of 5 to 8
bushels per acie for next year’s
coi n crop 7 to 10 bushels for oats,
and 3 to 5 bushels per acre loss
on wheat, the South Dakota spe
cialists say
