This picture was taken in a 9-acre area which was fertilized in April, 1951, with 150 lbs. of 5-10-5 an acre. Grass in this area has evidenced much better growth than grass in non-fertilized area. Grass has not been grazed. Eldred will use it for winter grazing after it becomes well established. 7RP-IV.
