For the Florida Agriculturist.
Chemical Fertilizers for Tobacco.

I'm all cases where the results are
of proved fact, artificial manuring for
tobacco has shown strong advantages
over farmyard manure used alone.
1t is not so much because the farm
yard manure does not contain the
proper quantities of the mineral ele-
ments of manures, but rather because
the form in which they occur is not
evenly balanced. Farmyard manure
contains an excess of readily avail
able ammonia, which produces, with
deficiency of potash and phosphoric
acid, an unstable condition OF
growth, which is not so readily APP
parent in the field as it is in the cur
ing barn.
The tobacco plant has a large leaf
surface with small and shallow root
system. 1t has therefore an immense
capacity for using water, but com
paratively narrow means of obtain
ing it. The roots of the tobacco
plant are nearly devoid of those small
root hairs which fulfill such import
ant functions in ordinary plants in
rendering the insoluble potash and
phosphoric acid of the soil, soluble
and available for plant food. In fact
the composition of the plant is large
" dependent upon the nature of the
water-soluble fertilizers in the soil,
if the supply is scanty, good normal
eral composition of tobacco is dis
turbed by the sterility of the soil.
1t is found that the quality is CORE
spondingly affected.
Not only is the tobacco plant by
it's nature untitled to fight for its
nourishment, but it thrives best in d
rather mellow light soil, where the
loss of fertilizer material by drain
age is relatively high. 1t is at times
noticed that tobacco seems to have
what is called an ''eXhausting" effect
on the land. The reason is, that the
plant requires practically water-solu~
bic fertilizers. and has little or no ca
pacity for breaking up the soil par
ticles. 1t therefore leaves the soil
practically denuded of soluble ma
nures.
Farmyard manure contains it's pot
ash and phosphoric acid in difficult
soluble forms, giving up freely only
it's ammonia. 1t will thus be seer
that manure is not, at least in its
usual condition. the best form of ma
nure for tobacco. If, however, farm
yard manure is thoroughly decompo"
ed by means of composing and
fermentation, it is in much better
shape for making tobacco, but it
must be supplemented with a potash
salt, such as sulphate Of potash for
instance, and acid phosphate. This
is necessary, as in the rotting process
a considerable quantity of the am
monia in the original manure has
been wasted. Tobacco requires for
every 100 pounds of ammonia, not
less than 200 pounds of sulphate OF
potash and about 800 pounds of acid
phosphate. Freshly burned lime

but one-twentieth to one-tenth of the
potash is at the disposal of the grow
ing plant.
| One thing the farmer must fully
recognize: the necessity of ample
minerals when farmyard manure is
tlsed-say an addition of so pounds
of sulphate of potash and 100 pounds
| Of acid phosphate to the ton of well
rOtted manure. If fair crop of to-
Dacco is made after clover or COW
peas turned under, very good results
may be had by an application of 100
pounds of sulphate of potash and 200
pounds of acid phosphate to the acre.
If the soil is very light, moderate
application of cotton-seed meal will
prove a valuable aid. In fact, in grow
ing heavy leaf for plug tobacco, the
soil must be fed very literally, and
the manures should be such as are
soluble in water.
The best form of manure for tobac-
@ is probably a well compounded
commercial fertilizer, and it should
have substantially the following
analysis
Per cent
actual potash ........ ~
AVAILABLE phosphoric acid ........ Z
Of this fertilizer, not less than 600
pounds per acre should be applied
In Pennsylvania a good plug of to-
oacco fertilizer is made up of the foi
lowing materials: $50 pounds acid
phosphate, 300 pounds sulphate of
potash and 1850 pounds cotton seed
meal. 1t will surprise the southern
farmer to know that the amounts
given represent the quantity applied
per acre. and it has been found prof
liable to make such heavy applica-
tons. What is known as the normal
application per acre for the three
chief fertilizing elements, is as fol-
lows: Ammonia, 27O pounds. nitrate
If soda or $50 pounds dried blood, or
90 pounds cotton seed meal Pot
ash, $40 pounds, sulphate of potash.
hosphoric acid $50 pounds, bone
meal or, $50 pounds dissolved bone,
or 900 pounds acid phosphate.
The quantities given above indicate
the proper amounts per acre. 1t does
lot pay to skimp tobacco. There is
20 other farm crop which responds
so freely to liberal manuring, nor any
other one which will show a lack Of
proper support so thoroughly. A to-
bacco-exhausted soil is very difficult
to get into good condition again. The
whole problem is chiefly a matter Of
proper mineral fertilizing.
