fertilizer this spring if you are make sure youtlont pay too much for it the price should be similar to the same amount of dry fer tilizer on a pound tor pound basis remember that one gal lon of liquid fertilizer weighs 14 pounds therefore the price you pay for a gallon of liquid should approach the price you pay for 14 pounds of dry fertil izer lets consider an exam ple 100 lbs of dry 102010 would cost 450 at 90 per ton 100 lbs 714 gallons of li quid 102010 should cost ap proximately 450 or about 65 cents per gallon 30 for a 45- gallon drum if the liquid fertilizer costs 3 per gallon for example then 100 lbs would cost 2142 or one ton would cost 42840 liquid fertilizer should not be applied to the foliage of the growing crop except inrare cases to correct a minor ele ment deficiency it would then contain just the minor clement or elements that were defic ient it is not practical to at tempt to supply the major fer tilizer nutrients nitrogen phosphorous and potassium through the leaves of the grow- ing crop a 75 bushel corn crop re moves over 100 lbs of nitro gen n 35 lbs of phosphate p205 and 130 lbs of potash k20 per acre from the soil one application of 102010 fol iar spray at 35 gallons per acre would supply five lbs of nitro gen 10 lbs of phosphorous and five lbs of potash if all the spray landed on the foliage of the plants none on the soil ment was shown in those skill ed and semiskilled in textile trades construction trades thi- nprt srvi rtfrnpntinl and if all of it was completely absorbed by the plant ob viously it would take several applications to supply even a portion oi the nutrients requir ed for the crop there is nothing magical about foliar fertilization field trials conducted by the ontar io department of agriculture and food fail to find any in crease in yield from thos type of fertilizer application liquid fertilizer applied to the soil is equally as good as the same weight of the same analysis of dry fertilizer ap plied to the soil also liquid fertilizer applied directly to corn seed during the planting operation may give a small yield response university of guclph trials have shown an average response of 6 bushels per acre but make sure you pay a reasonable price for liquid fer tilizer barbershop harmony in brampton on sat acton entertainers are tak ing a featured part in the fourth annual barbershop harmony and variety
