Tests Show Best Fertilizer Rates For Corn
Virginia Tech agronomist J A Salz reports on Frederick soils in southwestern Virginia. Excess potash beyond 75 pounds per acre did not raise yields. Nitrogen rates varied with prior crops, about 75 pounds for grass legume sod and over 100 pounds otherwise. On Congaree soils, about 175 pounds nitrogen and 75 pounds potash were economical. Irrigation increased fields but not economically on first bottom soil. Yields reached roughly 200 bushels per acre for grain and 21 tons per acre for silage.

Fewer Dairies More Milk In Appalachian
Virginia and Tennessee fruit and dairy observers report sharp declines in dairy operations and crop damage from frost.
