Economy In Purchasing Different Forms
of Plant Food.

ECONOMY In BurChaS1ng D1uerent forms
of Plant Food.
The most expensive form in which
nitrogen is usually purchased is that of
sulphate of ammonia. When high grade
sulphate of ammonia sells for $40 ton,
each pound of nitrogen in it costs about
II cents. When high grade nitrate Of
soda sells for $40 a ton each pound of
nitrogen in this form costs about II 13
cents As between these two forms the
nitrogen of one is nearly cents a pound
cheaper than the nitrogen of the other,
and it will therefore be found more
economical to use nitrate of soda rather
than sulphate of ammonia when spe
cial circumstances do not require the
use of the latter. Dried blood, contain
ing IL per cent of nitrogen, at 81 ton,
furnishes nitrogen at an approximate
cost of - cents a pound. The nitrogen
in fish scrap may cost SOL ewhat less.
In such forms as wool waste, ground
leather and hair, nitrogen may DO pur-
chased at much less. but these forms are
not econom cal when anything like
quick returns are desired.
The cheapest possible manner in which
farmers can provide their crops witt
nitrogen is by means Of such plants as
clover. Nitrogen supplied in this way
can be made to IA considerable degree to
take the place of the nitrogen of COM
mercial fertilizers and at greatly di-
unfinished cost
