determine fertilizer needs for crops to be planted next spring In recent years more farmers have been allying their phosphorus and potassium requirements In the foil to save tune during the busy spring Research has shown that phosphorus and potassium are quite stable In the soil over winter with a minimum of fertilizer loss Nitrogen on the other hand when applied in the fall is leached readily Nitrogen should therefore not be applied until spring Areas of heavy runoff and washout should be avoided for fall fertilization since all nutrients along with soil particles can be moved by large volumes of water Farmers often find that tillzer suppliers can give better service In the fall when the demand for fertilizer and tillzer spreading equipment is not so great Soil sample boxes
