Fall is the time to apply phos­
phate fertilizer to ladino clover.
It is early yet but not too early

tiliser. We have mentioned before

crow more and look greener than

plans to apply 300 pounds of
phosphate to his entire pasture
this fall about October 15.
Recommendations on applying
phosphate to ladino clover are to
■wait until the fall rains set in
»» the soil surface will stay con­
tinually moist after the phosphate
is applied. Alternate wetting and
drying of phosphate after it is
applied tend to make it unavoid­
able to the plants.
A question that often comes
up on the fall application of phos­
phate is whether or not the winter
rains will leach the phosphate out.

tt<so happens that when phosphate
fertilizer comes in contact with
the soil it is tied up with the soil
and is not subject to leaching.
Since plants absorb phosphate
very slowly, application in the
fall is suggested so that plants
have all winter in which to take
up the fertilizer.
These same principles apply to
the application of phosphate to
subclover, led clover, or alfalfa.
McKee’s idea of making some
trial application of phosphate to
see what results this fertilizer
will give is a good one. Only by
trying a fertilizer can we definitely
determine that plants will respond
on a certain farm.
Moss can be removed from roofs
during dry weather by spraying
the roof with a 10 per cent solu­
tion of zinc chloride. A galvanized
sheet metal or copper ridge roll
will greatly discourage the growth
of moss on roofs.

In 1939 there were 6 artificial
breeding associations for dairy
cows in the United States. Today
there are 1,263 such artificial
breeding associations.
F. B. Leever, Goble, knows how
to produce very clean milk, Re-
cently, at the Dairy Co-op Picnic
at Jantzen Beach, he received a
prize for the 4th lowest bacteria
count among Dairy Co-op shippers.
His average bacteria count was
down to 1750.

a high federal tax?
Telephone servica it generally considered to be a necessity.
AUTOMOBILE, TRUCK
Yet the Federal tax on long distance and other telephone
service goes as high as 25%! The tax on luxuriei is only
20%. That means the secenary long distance telephone
call you may have to make in an emergeucy will be taxed
higher than luxuries.
AND FIRE

And that is only part of the telephone tax picture.
Federal tax increases your local service bill by 15%. Long
distance calls of 25c or over are taxed 25%. Other forms
of telephone service are taxed from 8 to 25%. This excise
tax is imposed directly upon you as a telephone user. Your
telephone company, at it, own expense, acts as a tax
collector.
