B Won HERFF.
Concerning the relative value of mu-
rates and sulphates, we wrote Mr.. B.
Won Herff, as follows:]
'ln your letter you say, ''use kainit
upon light sandy Sails" AS far as our
observation goes, fertilizers containing
kainit do not give good results, while no
bad effects have ever been known from
the use OF sulphate of potash. We notice
also that you give preference TIC muriate
over sulphate. AS we understand it mu-
rate has a much larger per cent of chic
rine than sulphate. If such is the case
we should think sulphate preferable"
To which Mr.. B. Won Herff replies as fol-
lows:
Editor Florida A gricu1turiSt:
Your favor Of November LIST has been
received. [ am always ready to listen to
farmers opinions founded upon their OBJ
servation, which as rule, are correct.
Yet the causes assigned by them are fire.
quently incorrect. l hold this to be the
case of the alleged damage done by the
application of kainit upon light soils.
Upon light and sandy soils, which are
rather light and loose, kainit is the only
thing proper. Stiff soils should receive
the potash in form of sulphate or mu-
riate. Kainit contains large per cent.
of magnesia salts, which on account of
their Microscopic nature, have a ten
dency to keep the soil moist and more
compact. This naturally is undesirable
on soils that are already too moist and
compact. Furthermore, magnesia is an
element, necessary to the growth of
plants, and as sandy soils are frequently
deficient in magnesia, all application of
kainit will surely prove beneficial on this
account.
AS regards the preference of muriate
(of kainit) over sulphate OF potash, 7 will
say, [ would prefer the cheapest in all
cases where chlorineis no objection. The
potash in form of muriate or kainit is
cheaper at present than in form of sui
phate, hence, the preference to the latter
1t is stated that for tobacco, sugar
beets, potatoes and sugar cane chlorine
has a hurtful influence, as it is said to
impair the combustibility of tobacco and
the sugar and starch contents of the
other crops mentioned. Yet this effect is

method which has proven successful
in fertilizing orchards, and no doubt will
be applicable to orange growers: Drill
holes around the trunk of the tree, as far
as the roots may extend, and introduce
in these the phOsphOric acid and potash
fertilizer in liquid form, in the fall of the
year, and apply the nitrogen in the
spring as top dressing. Another method
consists in spreading the fertilizer broad
cast over the field andplowing under. A
crop OF 10000 pounds OF oranges per
acre Gan acre fifteen year old bearing pre-
sumably 1926 boxes OF oranges) contains
$500 pounds OF potash, 1910 pounds
phosphoric acid, and $3.50 pounds of
nitrogen. These amounts of fertilizer
constituents are annually removed by the
crop, and for their replacement an an
nual application of iii pounds of SO

nitrogen) would be required. In practice
this proportion is not followed, since
heavier application of phosphoric acid,
and a smaller quantity of nitrogen is the
rule. Nitrogen if applied in excess has
the tendency to increase the production
of leaves, and decrease the quantity OF
fruit.
For grapes an annual application of

about $50 pounds u per cent. acid

to 100 pounds of kainit) and % pounds
of nitrogen equal to 143 pounds Chill
salpeter) have been found to give the
best results.
For the fertilization of garden crops l
give the following general rules: Berries,
decorative shrubs, etc. should be fertilized
similarly like orchards. Cucumbers,
melons, squashes, asparagus and straw
berries should receive from 20 to so
pounds of nitrogen equal to from 1875
to 312 pounds nitrate of soda,) from 35
to SO pounds phosphoric acid equal to
from 900 to 416 pounds u per cent acid
phosphate) and from 30 to 70 pounds
potash equal to from 70 to 40 pounds
SO per cent. muriate OF potash) per acre.
Beets, carrots, onions, ETC., from Is to
so pounds nitrogen and from 35 to 70
pounds available phOsphoric acid.
Peas, beans and all other legumious
plants take their supply of nitrogen by
absorption from the air. The applica-
ton of costly heterogeneous fertilizers to
this class of plants is useless, but the use
of potash and phosphoric acid is very
beneficial, As to SIS pounds OF available
phosphoric acid and 60 to 70 pounds of
potash, (or 600 to 70 pounds of kainit)
per acre is the proper quantity.
AS to the proper selection OF the vari-
GUS potash salts note this: Use kainit
upon light sandy soils, upon low lands
and stiff clay soils sulphate of potash, or
muriate of potash is preferable. For
tobacco use sulphate only. The proper
