Snap Beans Respond Well For best yields and balanced nutrition, snap beans in the commercial production areas of Pennsylvania can be grown most efficiently with only reasonable quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus and recommended amounts of lime.

Fer tilitzer treatments were set up to test the effects of banding one or two 25 pound increments of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium in various combinations. These were ap plied as ammonium nitrate, triplesuperphosphate, muriate.of . potash, and Magox, respectively. Alsd included were clacitic and dolomitic limestone treatments at rate of 2 tons per acre. Leaf analysis results showed that both applied nitrogen and phosphorus strongly enhanced the absorption of calcium and magnesium and depressed up take of potassium. Dolomitic limestone applied just prior to planting also resulted in in creased magnesium uptake. These results indicate why it is usually unnecessary to apply magnesium in fertilizer. When potassium was applied, even at the 25 pound per acre rate, uptake of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium was depressed. This shows why Garden Spot Club The Garden Spot 4-H Club has been working hard the past several months on their projects for Achievement Day, which was held August 17, and the Club has gone on several educational tours. The first tour was to Bell Telephone where the Club found out how phones work. The second was to a veterinarian, Dr Harold Landis of Smoketown. The Club saw many sizes of pills and needles and the injured animals, as well as a new operating table. News Reporter, Lorraine Woodruff Lancaster Farming. Saturday, September 2,1972 potassium should not be applied unless definitely needed. When magnesium was applied, a substantial increase in magnesium uptake occurred but this was largely counteracted by application of an equal quantity of potassium. Thus, the magnesium content was similar whether both potassium and magnesium, or neither, were applied. This indicated that the antagonism between potassium and magnesium is so strong that they are inefficient when both are applied in fertilizer The studies are among some 325 projects being carried out by scientists with the Agricultural Experiment Station at Penn State. 4-H Calendar Sunday, Septembers Rough Riders 4-H Horse and Pony Club clinic, Mrs. Jane Groff’s, Quarryville.

You’re probably remembering the days when you laughed and played and had little or no responsibilities—and no bills to pay! But you’re forgetting the worries and fears you had as a child Remember when your parents left you with the neighbors for a day while they went on a trip 9 You wondered if and when they’d return. Or the time your mother went to the hospital 9 Everyone said she was all right—but you weren't sure Now you may wonder why your child cries when you place him in a similar situation. Cats, big dogs, mice, or high places may also have frightened you. These fears were very real but sometimes you were ridiculed.
