Soil Sampling
Measures Plant
Food On Deposit
Carryover plant food in the
soil is like money in the bank,
but the farmer has to knout
how much is there before he
can make withdrawals against
his account
Dry ■'V'-ather during last
year’s growing season left
quite a lot of unused fesrtaMaer
in many Maryland fields, says
Dr. Allan Handel, University
of Maryland soil specialist.
But a soil test is the only good
way to find out how much
plant food is still on deposit
and available for use.
Soil can be tested at almost
any time ol the year. A new
laboratory at the university is
larger and more efficient than
the old lab New, automatic

Milk Production
Requires Proper
Feeding Program
In the oast 15 years, milk
production has increased an
average ol 200 pounds per cow
every yeai—from 5,300 pounds
per cow in 1950 to 8,300
pounds in 18S5 Better nutri
tion is one of many reasons
foi the increased production,
according to Di Millard Cal
houn, assistant professor in
the depaitinent of animal sci
ence and agricultural .bio
chemistry rt the University of
Delaware
Even higher pi eduction lev
els are possible when some
of the coivs producing at low
levels aie given more feed.
In an expo xmenlt, fanners fed
test cows 20 percent more to
tal digestible nutrients than
they had been feeding The
cows gave an average in
creased production of 2,030
pounds per cow; ten percent
of the cows increased their
production 4,000 pounds or
more.
