Then make a light applicat- ion of plant food-about two pounds per 100 square feet-and nln the back of the rake over the grass to knock the plant food off the grass. and wet down thorough- ly.

Fertilizers In Canada

of Canada

It is anticipated that in 1932. howsv

for the first time, the use of ferti- cent, lizers in Western Canada will be used on a commercial basis. Substantial Pho results have already been achiev- ticular ed in the older sections of the velopn country and extensive experimcn~ growt tri tests in Western Canada have or fru suggested remarkable possibilities. haste Last year's experiments were upon an im a sufficient scale to be thoroughly od ri convincing to the farmers and sense large sales are how being made. fl-osts

As research continues and the be-

nefits derived by the farmers be- Pot come more widely known, the use 9°” or these artificial plant foods will Emi" be more general and this is bound get” to bring about extensive changes 91"" in our methods of agriculture. A “mi large proportion of the fertilizer 11°" used is still imported, but Cana- “mi” dian companies are increasing tends ,their output of products especially of C’ adapted to Canadian requirements, dit'

and several chemical constituents the which are necessary for their of p growth. These chemical constltu- dime ents are taken by the plant. from come the air or from the soil. Among in v the most important elements ta- mod

soil in the form of chemical ferti-

lizers, which are compound sub- 0 stances carrying these elements Wt either separately or in combihat- sive ion and are used by the agricul- has turist to supply a deficiency in all '-0 or any of the three. Other chemi- Veg cal elements are also required in hee the soil for successful crop produc- ima ton, but thiey are generally aval- hze able in sufficient quantities so ha that it is not necessary that they *"1 should be included in commercial Z" fertilizers. An exception is calcium mg in the form of lime; a deficiency fm'
