(BURKENBINE'S) New Standard Grade In Beef Explained If you've noticed a purple "standard" mark on beef you've bought recently, here's the rea son for it. Some local retailers and" whole salers are putting into use the federal grading regulation that went into effect this month es tablishing a new "standard" grade in beef carcasses, market ing specialists at Oregon State college explain.

Different Nitrogen Fertilizers Vary Little in Effects When deciding what kind of nitrogen fertilizer to buy, the main thing to keep in mind is the cost per pound of actual nit rogen, including the cost of trans, portation, handling and applica tion. That's the conclusion of A. S. Hunter, USDA soil scientist at Oregon State college, and T. L. Jackson, OS soils specialist, after a study of 65 fertilizer trials car ried out by the college's agricul tural experiment station. These experiments show little differ ence in the effect of nitrogen from different commercial fertilizers on crop growth, if the fertilizers are properly applied at the right time. This means, they say, there Is little basis for calming superior ity of one kind of nitrogen fer tilizer over another. While the researchers found some experi ments where one source of nitro gen gave better results than other sources., in every case there were other experiments where this source of nitrogen wasn't super ior. On the basis of their study, the two men came to this conclusion the nitrogen fertilizer that costs the least forach pound of actual nitrogen applied to the soil is usually the best. Of course, there are other things than cost to keep in mind. Hunter and Jackson point out that the value of other plant nu trients in some nitrogen fertili zers such as sulpher in ammon ium sulfate should be recog nized. But only if the plant nu trient is needed in the soil on which the fertilizer is to be ap plied. Differences in the amount of acidity formed from different nit. rogen fertilizers may also be im portant, they explain. It's often useful to apply nitrogen fertil izers with a maximum acidify ing effect on alkali soils, while nitrogen fertilizers with a mini mum acidifying effect have an advantage on acid soils. Where the fertilizer can be placed is important under some conditions. Putting the nitrogen below the soil surface with place ment equipment or by cultivation can be very desirable for spring applications in non-irrigated sections of both Eastern and Western Oregon. o Lt.
