Applications have been received from four farmer to date. In visiting with these farmers It was also very Interesting to get comments and reports on fer tilizer results from this years crop. Most fanners I visited with are of the opinion that tnis was one of these years when fertili zing did not return a great profit. Many report that they felt yield on fertilized grain Just paid for the cost or fertilizer wniie some Many lte und"rlded whjt to do 'this fall, w he her to f.rtllue or ti raise a crop without tViti!:.ing. I'nWa a lot of r.ilnf.i!l com , before aeedtng time many will not fertllle this fall but top dres In the spring if condition l.k favorable then. 8me let-1 that j they have enough 'fiillcr resl i due to provt.L them an Inercaa. f.t leld without further frt:l , Uing thla year. It U our opinion, that a farnier should make a drastic change in Id f 4rmlng ! opctatlon but should cntlnue: very much a lu ha teen op-j crating considering only the con- (lltlon aa th-y are thl fall. Thla might mean that a minimum, amount of fertilizer Ik used so that the farmer will not be hurt much In case of a year when there Is no response with a possi bility of adilng more In the spring In caie of good moisture , and growing conditions. We know with the short crop thl year that many farmers will be money conscious and will be cut ting out some costs of operation. It I fine to be efficient but It Is not so pood to sacrifice po tential vleld and resultant In come to save a few dollars now. In other words, don t be afraid to spend a dollar If it promises to return two or three.
