Do C0aEmKRcsAL FERTILIZERS PAY?
This very common question occurs
in the agricultural papers every year.
Il can Be answered very briefly. It
pays q good farmer. who knows how
70 use Il, and who buys for cash, 70
apply ammonia. potash and phospho-
ric acid 70 his land if il needs il and
he can get them at their commercial
value. A poor farmer who buys it on
credit and does not know what he

stead of buying anybody > manipulate
ed fertilizers that are offered 10 him
on a credit. he confined his purchase
to pure ground bone zine. and then
supplement this with all the stable
manure, cotton seed and ashes that
be may BE- able to'save Or purchase,
. farmer viii find that it IS prOiita-
be IA use certain forms Of CONNER
cial Fertilizers, while it may not pay
10 use certain other forms. / repeat,
it will pay to buy ammonia and solu-
bic phosphoric acid when bought for
each and full equivalent Of the same
obtained for money if it ia used in ac-
cordance with the laws Of nature.
Otherwise not. Our farmers have lit
orally thrown away thousands in their
common practice of putting highly
soluble and concentrated fertilizers
in one single fnrrOw and as deep as
they could get it, when, if they had
put It broadcast and near the sur
face, they might have saved as many
thousands as they have lost by the
unnatural practice that they have
follosed "a long and which they are

s1sr= can prove this question very
easily il be viii proceed intelligentiy
to give il q fair test, and it % . very
important question fer our farmers
to solve.-Southern Farmers Month

he didn't get enough that way he
would beg on the streets. Once last
