COMPANY GIVES FERTILIZER TO SEMO

A St. Louis manufacturer has donated a tractor-trailer load of fertilizer to improve the soil at Southeast Missouri State University's demonstration farm.

The fertilizer, donated by Lange-Stegmann, is valued at more than $3,000.

The university recently sampled all its fields and found its pastures to be deficient in soil nutrients.

The fertilizer manufacturer formulated a blend of nitrogen, phosphates and potassium to correct the problem. The farm is along Interstate 55, five miles north of Cape Girardeau.
