Morgan of Energy Community in
Comanche County, and he knows
it is worth that because he has
checked up on five loads he
spread three years ago. It made
one acre of poor land yield $15.40
worth more crops than adjoining
land during this three year peri-
od, and so this season Mr. Morgan
bought a manure spreader and
covered 20 acres.
Another striking demonstration
reported by the county agqnt is
that of Frank Caraway, also of
Energy community, who scatter-
ed eight loads of manure on three
acres of land last year. He real-
ized $30 per acre from this land,
but on a nearby field cOnldn’t find
enough millet to cut. This year
Mr. Caraway states that oats on
the manured land are at least a
third better than on other land.
