Soil Test for
Potassium Is
Urged by Ag’t
"Potassium is an important
member of the “Big 3” major
plant nutrients,” declared Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent Uel Stock-
ard.
“This element many times is
taken for granted in the Black-
lands. However, in our greyland,
sandy and loamy, and some
Blackland, it can be a limiting
production factor.”
Mr. Stockard explains:
“Sometimes called potash,
potassium influences crops in
four important ways: (1) Yield.
Yields may be reduced to less
than one-half by insufficient
potassium; (2) Quality. Potassium
deficiency causes grain to have
thin kernels, fruit to have poor
color and rot easily, and legum-
es to compete poorly with other
plants; (3) Lodging. Adequate
potassium reduces lodging, es-

nitrogen are used; and (4) Dis-
ease and insect resistance. Pot-
assium has increased cold re-
sistance and winter survival of
alfalfa, reduced winter killing of
Coastal Bermudagrass, and re-
duced diseases in many plants.
“Muriate of potash (0-0-60) is
the most popular potash materi-
al, comprising about 94 percent
of the potash used for agricul-
tural purposes.
“Most soils, except those of
a sandy nature, are comparative-
ly high in total potassium, but
the quantity of potassium held
in an available or easily ex-
changeable condition at any
time is very small. It is also very
soluble and subject to high loss-

es from leaching in wet years.
“The increasing yields of
crops are generally draining the
potassium supply in many soils.
This means the requirements
for fertilizer potassium are in-
creasing. A soil test will help
to detect the point when potassi-
um is needed on your land.”

SECTION TWO
Yule Tree Care
Is Explained by
Ellis Co. Agent
Christmas trees can be kept
green and fresh throughout the
Yuletide season if cared for
properly, County Agent Uel
Stockard explained today.
“The tree base,” he said,
“should be placed in water and
the tree stored in a cool, shady
location as soon as possible after
cutting or purchase. Tree needl-
es continue to lose water after
the tree is cut. The higher the
temperature surrounding the
needles, the greater is the water
loss and needle drop.
“Water is still the best fire
retardant for Christmas trees.

oratory revealed that the use of
fire retardant chemicals on trees
often did more harm than good,
“Here are suggestions for
keeping the Christmas tree fresh
and green. Make a fresh, angular
cut at least an inch above the
original cut just before the tree
is put up in the home. Then
place the tree in a stand that
will hold water and keep the
water level in the container
above the fresh cut.
“Other safety suggestions in-
elude making sure the tree is
supported so it will not fall;
place the tree at least ten feet
away from fireplaces, heat vents,
TV sets, or other sources of
heat, lighted candles or other
open flames should be kept well
away from the tree; and finally,
electrical cords should be free
from frayed portions or exposed
wires and of adequate size to
avoid overloading.” ♦
