roots immediately... just the time
you do your transplanting.
Or, even better, you night want
to buy a special starter fertilizer.
These are specially designed
complete fertilizers which are high
in available phosphorus. Be sure to
follow label directions on the
container.
To Beware of “Bargain”
Electric Motors
If you attend a sale or are
otherwise confronted with the
opportunity to purchase electric
motors at bargain prices, make
sure you buy something you can
use. Often a motor is purchased
and the buyer finds it’s not usable.
Before completing such a pur
chase it is wise to read the name
plate. This will tell you if the motor
is single or three phase, the hor
sepower, shaft speed, voltage and
amperage. If it is a single phase
motor, be sure the horsepower
does not exceed that allowed at
your farm. Your power supplier
will be able to provide this in
formation.
The Extension Service Is nn affirmative
action equal opportunity educational in
stitution.
At LANCASTER FARMING, we think we
do a good job of keeping you in
formed... and we have over 40,000 paid
subscribers who think so too!
