Fertilizer Tests Boost Onion and Cabbage Yields
The New Mexico Experiment Station reports two bulletins by A B Fite showing fertilizer effects on onions and cabbage. Ammonium sulfate at 400 lb per acre raised onion profits by 41.25 and yields by 5325 lb/acre, with mixed results for other fertilizers. A 10 ton manure plus 400 lb ammonium sulfate boost profits to 58.92 per acre. For cabbage on poor soil, ammonium sulfate plus superphosphate raised profits by 90.59 per acre, while on a richer soil 600 lb ammonium sulfate alone yielded 92.55 more than unfertilized plots.

Chemists Explain Oil Plating From Continental Oil
Continental Oil Company chemists outlined a new oil plating concept at industry meetings, detailing how a mid continent mineral oil with a special chemical forms a near permanent lubricating film on moving metal surfaces. The film resists wipeout, endures high heat and stress, and self renews with minimal new oil. X ray diffraction aided conclusions, and the lubricant itself was developed from over 1000 compounds tested.
