Fertilizer Can Be Applied This Fall
Iowa State College agronomist Joe Stritzel says summer and fall fertilizer application can spread labor, cut costs, and place nutrients deeper in the ground. Benefits hinge on soil type and crop timing, with cautions about nutrient leaching and reduced phosphate availability. Plan carefully for 1955, selecting soils not prone to erosion and targeting corn, oats, and legume stands. Fertilizer should be disked in, with nitrogen delayed until cooler fall soils.

Prices Lift Profits Despite Lower 1953 Farm Prices
Iowa State College economist Howell analyzes 1 046 farm operators records with Iowa Extension Service showing profits rose in 1953 while prices fell from 1952. Management returns averaged 3369 dollars per farm, a 760 dollar gain, driven by efficient production and resource use. Higher hog prices and cheaper feed boosted returns per 100 dollars of feed, with top farms showing far higher management earnings than bottom group. Larger cropland and more intensive production drove the difference.
