Right now, the world demand for farm
products is higher than ever And this year
more acres will be planted than any year
since 1956..
But the results you get in yields and
profits depend on how carefully you
manage your farm Particularly your fer
tilizer supply
So it’s more important now than ever
to get back to the basics of sound farm
management And to consider some new
techniques and alternatives if you can’t get
all the fertilizer you want In quantity or
grades
We’ll try every way we know to meet
your requirements Our plants are producing
to capacity But it’s also our responsibility
to help you get the most out of the money you
spend on fertilizer As a starting point,
consider these suggestions
Soil test every field It will determine
your actual plant nutrient needs Soil testing
is the way to make sure you apply only what’s
needed Our complete soil test gives you
requirements for calcium and magnesium as
well as phosphate, potash and lime The
amounts you apply can be adjusted to the
levels in your soil This assures the right
balance of plant nutrients
Be sure you lime according to your
needs It increases the efficiency of avail
able fertilizer
Carefully plan every field you have
Think about past performance and which
crops yield best in which fields Use your best
fields for your highest value crops
In case you can’t get all the fertilizer you
want, you’re better off to fertilize your best
fields to optimum Cut back on your less
productive soils and consider banding rather
than broadcasting
If it's practical, plant crops that require
less of the plant foods that are short
This usage chart gives you a general rating,
with the highest use crops at the top

Lancaster County Pomona
Grange 71 held a dinner
meeting recently at Rhoads
Restaurant, Quarryvillc.
Pomona Master Jesse Wood
presided at the business
session when the Grange
went on record in favor of the
bill in the state legislature
which prohibits the sale of
obscene literature to anyone
and opposing any amend
ment that would permit sale
of pornographic material to
adults.
They also sent this
resolution to Pennsylvania
congressmen;
WHEREAS, Congress has
passed a law offering states
141 million dollars to adopt a
mandatory automobile seat
belt law. And
WHEREAS, Seat belts to
some individuals are very
annoying and anything that
annoys a driver becomes a
potential hazard. And
WHEREAS, Seat belts in
many instances have tied
individuals in their -car
causing them to be drowned,
burned or suffocated. And
WHEREAS, We maintain
that it is every individual’s
God-given right to decide
whether or not he or she

If you are double-cropping, lime and
fertilize for the major crop For instance, if
you are growing soybeans and wheat, lime
and fertilize with the soybeans in mind
Be sure to inoculate the soybeans
Frequently, a crop following a high value
crop that has been fertilized heavily will
not require additional fertilization Yom can
get by on less fertilizer this year if your soil
tests are high But remember that the dram
on your soil reserves will decrease future
yield potential
Be sure your crops get the micro
nutrients needed for proper growth and
maturity This table lists major crops and

Maybe there is a chance you’ll have less
fertilizer to work with this year But it’s our
job to make sure you get all the help you
want in using your fertilizer efficiently The
suggestions here are simply some principles
of sound farm management When you use
them, your chances for optimum yields
and profits in 1974 can only ■■HV

WHEREAS, We believe
that the practice of using the

states to pass any law is
unjust, unfair and dishonest.
