had been active in community, civic
and church affairs throughout his
long residence there. He served as

on June 22, 1893. The couple lived
on the farm in Tiber township un-
til 10 years ago when they moved to

check purpoaes." One plot of each called a "plumberama" will be held
variety was planted with 100 pounds
of 8-32-0 applied with fertilizer at-
tachment on the drill. The Kindred
L on the check yielded 45 bushels
per acre as compared to 48.6 where
100 pounds of 8-32-0 was added. The
Traill check plot yielded 51.7 bush-
els while the fertilized Traill yield-
ed 50.5 bushels per acre.
The increase in yield of 3.6 bush-
e] per acre would hardly pay for
the f>.rtilizer work, and investment
in the fertilizer attachment, espe-
cially at the present price of barley.
A soil sample was sent to the NDAC
Soils department to determine the
amount of available phosphate in
the field. The test showed the field
as being high in phosphate, which
in itself indicates the use of a
phosphate fertilizer could very
well prove to be unprofitable. The
cropping history of the field indi-
cated that nitrogen fertilizer would
effect yield very Uttle, if any.
On the Daley farm, the situation
was different because the soil test
indicated that the land was low to
medium in available phosphate in-
dicating the use of phosphate fertil-
izer would pay. The cropping his-
tory of the field also indicated that
nitroeen fertilizer would boost the
yields. Therefore. two fertilizers
containing both nitrogen and phos-
phate wss used. However, the nitro-
gen rates were changed, but the
phosphate application remained the
same and both Kindred L and
Trail1 barley were used, but on land
Ch.t wsin flax in 1955.
The check plot for Kindred yield-
ed 18.3 bushels per acre with the
plot where 100 pounds of 8-32-0 was
used on Kindred the yield was 27.5
bu where 200 pounds of 15-15-0 was
used the yield was 37.
The Traill barley check plot yield:
ed 16.66 with a yield of 28.66 where
I00 pounds of 8.32-0 was used and
38.88 per acre where 200 pounds of
15-15-0 was applied. There is no
nubt that the use of fertilizer on
the Daley plots paAd off. From these
trials you can see that there are a
couple of important things that you
should consider before before pur-
chasing fertilizer. One. is have soil
tested to find out how it rates in the
mu,t of available phosphate, Sec-
ond, be sure to review the chopping
history which will serve as a very
good guide when determining if nit-
rogen fertilizer is needed or not, as
well as the amount.
By taking these two steps, the

and Traill with a plot Of eacl A.& I
iety planted wihout fertilizer for A new and uhsual dmonstration
check purpoaes." One plot of each called a "plumberama" will be held
variety was planted with 100 pounds
of 8-32-0 applied with fertilizer at-
tachment on the drill. The Kindred
L on the check yielded 45 bushels
per acre as compared to 48.6 where
100 pounds of 8-32-0 was added. The
Traill check plot yielded 51.7 bush-
els while the fertilized Traill yield-
ed 50.5 bushels per acre.
The increase in yield of 3.6 bush-
e] per acre would hardly pay for
the f>.rtilizer work, and investment
in the fertilizer attachment, espe-
cially at the present price of barley.
A soil sample was sent to the NDAC
Soils department to determine the
amount of available phosphate in
the field. The test showed the field
as being high in phosphate, which
in itself indicates the use of a
phosphate fertilizer could very
well prove to be unprofitable. The
cropping history of the field indi-
cated that nitrogen fertilizer would
effect yield very Uttle, if any.
On the Daley farm, the situation
was different because the soil test
indicated that the land was low to
medium in available phosphate in-
dicating the use of phosphate fertil-
izer would pay. The cropping his-
tory of the field also indicated that
nitroeen fertilizer would boost the
yields. Therefore. two fertilizers
containing both nitrogen and phos-
phate wss used. However, the nitro-
gen rates were changed, but the
phosphate application remained the
same and both Kindred L and
Trail1 barley were used, but on land
Ch.t wsin flax in 1955.
The check plot for Kindred yield-
ed 18.3 bushels per acre with the
plot where 100 pounds of 8-32-0 was
used on Kindred the yield was 27.5
bu where 200 pounds of 15-15-0 was
used the yield was 37.
The Traill barley check plot yield:
ed 16.66 with a yield of 28.66 where
I00 pounds of 8.32-0 was used and
38.88 per acre where 200 pounds of
15-15-0 was applied. There is no
nubt that the use of fertilizer on
the Daley plots paAd off. From these
trials you can see that there are a
couple of important things that you
should consider before before pur-
chasing fertilizer. One. is have soil
tested to find out how it rates in the
mu,t of available phosphate, Sec-
ond, be sure to review the chopping
history which will serve as a very
good guide when determining if nit-
rogen fertilizer is needed or not, as
well as the amount.
By taking these two steps, the
