THE COMMERCIAL AND AGRICUL!
TURAL VALUE OF FERTILIZERS.

What IL known as the commercial
value OF fertilizers as published in
uments. is O valuation made up by
adding together the average value OF
the chemical ingredients which are
contained In the fertilizers.
The agricultural value OF a fertili-
ger is variable according to the skill
OF the farmer and according to the
crop, and according to the seasons. 1t
crop, and the seasons. 1t is the
practical result obtained in apply
ing the fertilizers. The two values
ought to be about the same. and on
the average they probably are about
the same. but the individual farmer
who gives careful personal attention
to his values will be able to make con-
siderable difference in his results by
studying the underlying principles
The chemical ingredients which are re-
cognized as imparting commercial
value to fertilizers are nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. There is but
one source of phosphoric acid which
is at all practical and which is made
use of in the manufacture of fertiliz-
ers in the South. This is acid phos-
phosphate rock with sulphuric acid.
The most ordinary source of potash is
kainit, which is mined in Germany
The phosphoric acid and the potash
which are derived from these sources
are about the same in their results on
crops as the phosphoric acid and pot
ash derived from any other sources,
but the sources of nitrogen are num-
erous. This Is the most important and
expensive ingredient in fertilizers.
The commercial value of fertilizers
based on the analysis Of the contained
nitrogen, Is reckoned just the same no
matter from what source the nitrogen
is obtained, and this fact is apt to
mslead the farmer in his estimate Of
the kinds Of fertilizer to use for GER
tain crops. For example: a fertilizer
containing nitrate of soda contains q
splendid form of nitrogen, and one
very. good for early vegetables and
quick growing crops. but 1t is entirely
too soluble for use in the cotton crop.
The cotton plant is of slow growth and
needs iseo,su,. to have we its food supplied
ger containing cotton seed meal, hav-
ing the same amount Of nitrogen as
another fertilizer made OF nitrate of
soda or any other source, Of nitrogen.
is much more valuable to the cotton
plant, even at the same commercial
value, than any other kind OF fertilizer.
The nitrogen in cotton seed meal is all
soluble, but 1t requires some time to
be put into complete solution. This is
cotton and corn require, therefore. 1t
is important for farmers in the pur-
chase Of fertilizer to specify that this
fertilizer is made with cotton seed
as a source Of nitrogen Cor, what is the
same thing, the source of ammonia)
All fertilizers containing nitrogen in
any form are generally known as am
moniated fertilizers. Let every farmer
see to It that his fertilizers are am
moniated with cotton seed meal, and
al he knows he can not get the meal
to better advantage than from any OF
the local mills OF the Southern Cotton
OIL Company OF the Carolinas and
Georgia, or through their headquarters
at Columbia. s. c., Augusta, Ga, At.
