Demand for Seeds Makes Profitable Use of Fertilizer The unlimited demand for most kinds of Oregon grown forage seeds this year will make profit able the use of fertilizer to a con siderable extent fin many of the seed crops In Douglas county, says J, Roland Parker, county agent. The season for applying these Is almost past, however, hence prompt action will be necessary where growers still plan to use fertilizers. Seed growers in Douglas coun ty produce two different types of seed that vary greatly In their fertilizer needs, points out Mr. Parker. ' Legumes, vetches, peas and clovers generally respond to landplast'er, and on some soils give profitable returns from phosphorous. The perennial grasses and the annual Italian rye grass respond chiefly to nitro gen fertilizers. Use of landplaster on legume crops Is an established practice throughout western Oregon. It supplies sulphur, which is requir ed in large quantities by all leg umes. Landplaster Is aplled at a minimum rate of 100.pou.nds per acre as early In the season as possible and will bo largely wast ed if applied after the middle of April. ; . ' - Soils in this country vary con siderably In their response to phosphorous fertilizer. Profitable returns are common on hill lands and on some of the valley floor soils. Phosphorous may be applied as ordinary superphosphate, con taining 20 per cent phosphorous, at the rate of 300 pounds per acre, or as the stronger 45 per cent treble superphosphate at 125 pounds per acre. Phosphorous is of little or no use if applied aft er April 1. Art King, extension specialist in soils at O. S. C, reports that established grass seed growers throughout western Oregon have found that use of nitrogen is necessary to the continued pro duction of perennial grasses and seed. At present prices of Italian rye grass seed, the use of nitro gen on this crop Is also available. Growers are getting the best re sults by giving first-year peren nial or Italian rye grass 20 pounds of nitrogen per acre, which Is supplied by 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate or tiO pounds of . ammonium nitrate. Older plantings get two or three times this application. The earlier application the better, but profit able returns can be expected If It is put on before April 10.
