Preserve And Use Tobacco Stalks, George D. Corder
Preserve And Use Tobacco Stalks, George D. Corder
Agronomy Notes
When Kentucky's 1964 tobacco crop is stripped , there will be about 176,000 tons of stalks in and around stripping barns. There will be more than $2 million worth of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in them.
If these stalks are left outside the barn and exposed to winter rains, 61 percent of the nitrogen, 38 percent of the phosphorus, 83 percent of the potassium and 41 percent of the organic matter may be lost.
Farm Manures, George D. Corder
Farm Manures, George D. Corder
Agronomy Notes
More than 16 million tons of farm manures valued at more than $47 million are produced on Kentucky farms each year.
Almost half of these manures accumulate in barns, feedlots, and loafing areas. A large part of this will accumulate in these areas between now and pasture time next spring. These manures must be removed from time to time and the cost of handling is unavoidable. Preserving their value and using them wisely on crops and soils that benefit from them will give a fair return on handling costs.

A Test Ban Treaty designed to stop nuclear explosions above ground was signed. World tension was eased. Fear of radioactive fallout was lessened. The Chinese have the atomic bomb. They did not sign the Test Ban Treaty. World tension is on the up-swing.
What has all this to do with agriculture in Kentucky?
