of potash provided for beans, potatoes,
peas and tobacco, would be partially
thrown away on corn and turnips which
especially require phosphoric acid.
However, to oblige and assist "AW."
the following formula is proposed as
embodying few Objectionable features
and as one which can be modified to suit
several classes:
Nitrate OF Soda Observation-Disclosures. $50 lbs
Acid Phosphate. 800 lbs.
Suphate OF Potash Qow grade) ............ $50 lbs
Use from 600 to 1000 pounds per acre.
Most vegetables will derive benefit from
liberal application OF this mixture, but
to obtain the best results it should be
modified as follows:
For potatoes, peas, beans and tobacco,
for the latter two and sweet potatoes,
the nitrate of soda to be diminished one
half; for sugar beets, lettuce, onions,
cabbage, caulifower, collards, asparagus
and fodder-beets, the nitrate to be in
creased onefourth; in the case of the
last five, to be supplemented by common
salt, at the rate of ten bushels to the
acre.
Ii cotton seed meal be the only availa-
BILE source of ammonia, it may be used
as follows:
Acid Phosphate. $50 lbs.
Sulphate of Potash. $50 lbs.
The percentage of the three important
elements are about the same in these two
formula. but as the latter mixture con-
tains $40 pounds more than the former,
it should be applied in proportion.
Some misrepresentation appearing to
rest in the minds of many as to the mean
ing of the word ''revert" when applied to
phosphoric acid, a few words OF ext lana
tion may not be amiss. Chemically, there
are several phosphates of lime, two of
which enter prominently into the compO-
sition of fertilizers, viz: the tribasic and
themonobasic; theformer being insoluble,
the latter soluble. The tribasic is the
form which occurs in phosphate rock. In
it two parts of phOsphoric acid are united
to three of lime; in the monobasic, one
part of the acid to one of lime. When
the former is subjected to the action of
sulphuric acid part of the lime combines
with this acid, forming sulphate of lime
or land plaster, having the phosphoric
acid in combination with only one part
of lime, thus changing it to a mOnObasic
or soluble phosphate. The resulting
mixture of phosphate and plaster forms
what is commercially known as acid
phosphate. If, when the phosphate of
this mixture has been dissolved by the
soil water, it comes in contact with lime
some of this element Immediately COM
bines with it, to replace the lime which
had been removed by the sulphuric acid.
The monobasic phosphate is then said
to have reverted Or changed to a tribasic
phosphate-fro soluble to aninsoluble
form.
1t will thus be seen that acid phosphate
should not be mixed with ashes or other
fertilizer containing lime.
