A critical shortage of commer­
cial nitrogen fertilizer for spring
planting in Oregon can be allayed
somewhat by holding spring appli­
cations to a minimum and adding
i side dressings or top dressings la­
ter in the season, says Art King,
extension soils specialist at O.S.C.
Additional supplies are expected
by May with production about
equaling demand by June.
The early spring weather has
brought an unprecedented demand
beyond the record used in 1946
which Is impossible for suppliers
to meet at this time, King reports.
If the demand is spread over the
next four months it .should be pos-
i sible to complete 1947 without ser­
ious difficulties with shortages.
Limited supplies now come from
the Columbia Metals corporation
plant at Salem and are distributed
throughout the Pacific northwest.
It is the responsibility of the Ore­
gon extension service to see that
this material is supplied to dealers
and users in Oregon, said King.
The shortage is prevalent in all
parts of the United States. The
plant at Salem however, puts the
Pacific northwest in a relatively
better position than other sections.
So far this year less than 1000!
tons per month have been avail­
able. During the last quarter of
1946, ov’r 15.000 tons of nitrogen
fertilizer in the form of ammonium
sulfate were distributed by the
O. S. C: extension service from the
plant at Salem.
This quantity, according to King,
was largely stored by dealers and
users for use this spring and was
in addition to normal commercial
supplies. This material has been
used and there is a current de- '
mand for another 15.000 tons in
addition to commercial supplies
now in existence.
Nitrogen fertilizer is used ex­
tensively throughout Oregon. This
year the demand for it in the sugar
beet sections is especially heavy.

Fruits, nuts and berries meant $46,475,000 to Orego«
in 1945. They meant a lot more than that to Grangers.
The dollars-and-cents estimate by the U.S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics represents hard cash put into
circulation by the state’s orchardists and berry growers.
It also represents another substantial industry to support
the long-standing Grange position that the stability of
Oregon's economy depends upon sound, diversified
agriculture.
The Grange takes pride in counting 30,000 progressive
Oregon farmers among its members. They are bound
together in the cause of better agriculture. To this end,
because it benefits all the people, they are shaping th«
pattern of Oregon’s development.
