Too much dependskAin an in dividual farm, its location and soil types, and especially the susceptibility of its soils to wind and water erosion. But the issue of fall versus spring application of plodown nitrogen fertilizer is more clearcut. Fall application of nitrogen for corn is not a good practice, according to Dr. V. Allan Bandel, Extension soils specialist at the College Park campus of the University of Maryland. Dr. Bandel’s recommendation is based on a three-year study just completed at several locations around the state, in cluding the university’s Eastern Shore plots at the Wye Institute near Queenstown (Queen Annes County). Ironically, a cursory glance at the Maryland agronomist’s yield statistics for the Wye Institute site indicates that fall plowing at that location had a beneficial effect on yields, particularly m 1971. But this did not necessarily always occur on other soil types, or in other years. For example, the fall-plowed nonfertilized check plot yielded 28 bushels per acre more this year than the spring-plowed nonfertilized plot. But the falK plowed plot receiveing a high nitrogen treatment yielded five bushels per acre less than the similarly fertilized spring-plowed plot. This indicates a considerable amount of nitrogen fertilizer either leached downward through the soil over the winter, out of reach for corn roots, or escaped upward into the atmosphere, the soils specialist pointed out. For farmers who are convinced that their erosion problems are Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 13,1971 —29 ist Says not serious and they must un dertake at least some fattl plowing, Dr. Bandel recommends plowing down only phosphate and potash fertilizers now, plaus lime if neded. Nitrogen should then be applied in the spring. Nitrogeh can be broadcast and disked down before planting, applied at planting time, or even applied after planting The closer the time of application to the time needed by the plants, the less chance exists that nitrogen will be lost Mothe is Speech Model to Child One of the ways a child learns to speak is by listening to his mother. This puts a big responsibility on the mother if she is to be a good speech model James E Van Horn, extension family life specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, suggests mothers speak in sentences when they talk with their children. When they ask “what’s this,” tell them “this is a cake pan ” Don’t say “a pan.” Children learn the correct language framework when their mothers use full sentences when talking with them Self-Rising Flour Self-rising flour is a mixture of flour, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and one or more of the acid-reacting substances - monocalcium phosphate, sodium acid phosphate, and sodium aluminum phosphate (baking powder), explains Mrs Ruth J. Buck, extension foods specialist at The Pennsylvania State University. t it’s a woman’s by MARY LEE So you know all about the birds and the bees ? ... Well, it could be that designers of sheets, towels and tablecloths have a few surprises in store for you. They’ve gone back to nature in a big way for de sign inspiration. They bird-watch, put na ture under the microscope, and find animal-insect life highly amusing. All of which translates into a new fashion approach. For example, golden pine apples are ripe for success on linen tablecloths that have a gay Carmen Miranda feeling. Butterflies and humming birds hover over tropical flowers in paste] sheets. Wild pansies bloom in lavender, purple, yellow colors that are so appealing they’re expected to turn up in apparel as well as table linens. Luring small fry to bed early may be easier, too, with the new funny animal king dom bedding that has a car toon influence One designer uses a whole zoo of ebullient animals in primary colors to border juvenile sheets. They’re almost as much fun as a story hour. Along with the return to nature comes the popularity of such basics as denim, cal ico, raw woods and baskets for home decor, too Back when baskets were a hand made necessity, they were used from morning to night. They stored grains, carried - garden produce, caught lob sters and fish, toted infants, logs or loaves of bread, and collected wine bottles as well as the grapes. Baskets also served as food hampers. Today’s homemakers will find these and other uses for handcrafted baskets as more of them appear on the mar ket. Made from reeds or rat tan, with oak or cane staves, firm or flexible sides, open webbing or tight weaves, baskets are no longer just a frivolous addition to a room setting. They are handsomely functional. Subscribe Now We know many of our readers regularly read a friend’s or relative’s copy of our publication. We don’t mind. We appre ciate all our readers.
