If you use Uramon and Cyanamid together, 
have a pound of Uramon and half a pound of 
Cyanamid for every square yard. 
If you use Cyanamid alone, you will need just 
1 pound for every square yard. 
EXAMPLE.—It your bed is 5 yards wide and 
20 yards long you have 100 square yards. 
That will take 100 pounds of Uramon and 50 
pounds of Cyanamid. If you use Cyanamid 
alone, it will take 100 pounds. 
If you don’t have scales, you can have some 
of the chemical weighed at the store in the pail 
you will use. You will have to be exact when you 
measure your chemicals at the plant bed. 
How You Do It 
First get the ground ready. Plow it and disk it. 
If you have a green cover crop to work in, do this 
at least 4 weeks before you are going to use the 
chemicals. 
Then pick a time when the soil is in good condi- 
tion. Level the ground carefully. Make a 
ditch around the whole area if there is danger that 
water will wash in from the outside. 
Mark out each plant bed. Then it would bea 
good idea to make marks across each bed so that 
ii 
you have areas of equal size. This will make it 
easier to get the same quantity of chemical on all 
parts of the plant bed. 
Take two-thirds of the chemical. Broadcast 
it by hand. Work it in 4 to 6 inches deep with a 
disk or a shovel-type cultivator. 
It does not make much difference what tools 
you use to mix the chemicals with the soil. The 
important thing is to get them well mixed. Any 
too] that does a good job of mixing is all right. 
Then broadcast the other third. Work it into 
the surface soil with an iron rake or some other 
tool that will not go deep. 
You Will Need Less Fertilizer 
Uramon and Cyanamid contain nitrogen. Some 
of it will still be in the ground when you sow your 
seed. 
So, when it comes time to seed, you will need 
less nitrogen in the fertilizer. You can use a low- 
nitrogen fertilizer. Or you can cut down the 
quantity of the fertilizer you have always used. 
This has been tried out. Where it has been the 
custom to use 2 pounds of fertilizer for every 
square yard, 1 pound has been enough after using 
chemicals on the plant beds. 
Work the fertilizer in to a depth of 1 to 1% 
inches. Use a hand rake, weeder, or some other 
tool that does not go too deep. 
Sow the seed just as you always do. Wagers) 
— After broadcasting the last third, work it into 
the surface soil with a tool that will not go deep. 
When you put fertilizer on in spring, just work it 
into the surface soil.
