At the rates quoted Cpen Season For Partridge In Ontario is Promised "Fertilized plots of last year were seeded to red clover. There is a marked difference where no fertilizer was used; not so thick and not so good a growth."â€"A. E. D., Tilbury. "Early this spring the plots could bo picked out of the field. The grass started to grow at least a woek sooner than the rest of the field and had a much darker colour.

Ans. â€" Three years demonstration experimental tests conducted over the province by the Department of Chemâ€" istry, O.AC., show an average inâ€" crease of 11.1 bushels per acre in yield from the use of fertilizers. It is quite common to find from 200 to 375 lbs. of fertilizers used per acre on wheat. It is an established fact that the growâ€" ing crop takes up only about 50% of the nitrogen and about 8 to 15% phosâ€" phoric acid applied in fertilizers. It is therefore apparent that much added plant food must remain in the soil for succeeding crops. Phosplhoric acid 1. Is there any profitable afterâ€"ef foct from fertilizers on wheat?

As you cross the rows you can see at once when you are on the fertilized grain and when not."â€"W. E. N., Peterboro. "The unfertilized wheat is very thin and short and has a bad colour.

"Where I sowed fertilizer the wheat did not kill at all, but where there was no fertilizer you can see right to a row where it winter killed."â€"O. B., Pt. Hope. "The fertilized wheat wintered in splendid shape but the plots undertilâ€" ized are in poor shape and badly winâ€" ter killed."â€"T. J. W., Lakefield. Winter killing is largely the result of a heaving of the plants out of the ground. This is due to freezing and thawing. If the wheat field is poorly drained the freezing of the water will usually heave the wheat and clover plants out of the ground, causing conâ€" foiderable winter killing. Necessarily, the addition of fertilizers will aot preâ€" vent such action. Many wheat growâ€" ers have expressed their opinion on the effect of fortilizrs in combating winter killing throughout the past two years. _ Out of 73 inquiries . sent .o wheat growers, 48 have reported that the fertilized wheat came thr agh betâ€" ter than the unfertilized. The followâ€" ing are typical replies: "Would say that all plots wintercd well. The fertilized plots show stronger growth."â€"T. McK., Pt. Robâ€" inson. f Ans.â€"Additional plant food either in manure or fertilizers gives added strength to any growing crop. Inasâ€" much as the fertilized crop has this additional strength it can more sucâ€" cessfully resist bad growing condiâ€" tions. this would be about 2â€"3 oz. to 1 1â€"3 oz. por square yard, which would not proâ€" vide enough fertilizer near the seed to injure it in any way. If double or triple strength fertilizer is used, howâ€" ever, greater care mus. be taken in the distribution, since this stronger fertilizer falling near the seed may tend to draw the moisture out of the seed and thereby injure it. Of course, double strength fertiltzer is sown in smaller amounts. 3.
