Soil Building A Path To Higher Yields And Profits
A Middle West Soil Improvement Committee promotes soil building as a sound investment for farmers. They cite Wisconsin tests showing 60 bushels per acre yield gains in year one and carryover profits in later years, with two more tons per acre hay gains in following years. Steps include balanced NPK fertilizer, incorporating legumes and residues, staying off wet land, and avoiding over tillage.

Defoliants To Be Used More Widely In Cotton Harvest Approaches
U S Department of Agriculture researchers report defoliant use will expand in cotton farming. Cooperative trials with the Agricultural Research Service and state stations in the Mid-South show aminotriazole requires 3 pounds per acre for effective leaf drop when used alone, and 1 to 3 pounds per acre for regrowth inhibition. When combined with other defoliants, adding 0.75 pound per acre allows halving the other dose. In Mississippi Delta tests during 1955, 1 pound per acre gave about 70 percent defoliation, while 3 pounds per acre neared full effect.
