Fertilizer Facts.

report OF the New Jersey expert
ment station says that fertilizers are
fertilizers only when they contain one
or more Of the essential constituents
OF plant growth. 1. e., nitrogen. potash
and phosphoric acid In such materials
as nitrate OF soda, sulphate Of ammo
MIA. acid phosphate, ground bone, mu-
riate OF potash, etc. and when their
application to the sell will contribute
quite as much or more to the growth
OF crops and the constituents already
here. The chief cause of unsatisfac-
tory results from the application of
FERTILIZERS to soils deficient In avail
able plant food is that the person US
Ing them does not understand the
character Of the materials he is hand
ling or the characteristics Of growth
and specific needs OF the plant whose
growth he intends to encourage.
While the value of a commercial fer
tilizer is determined almost exclu.
siveiy by the amount and form Of the
nitrogen. potash and phosphoric acid
which 1t contains, 1t does not follow
that all soils or crops will respond
equally to applications Of fertilizers
containing those elements because
the needs OF soils and the require
ments OF crops vary. Soils differ in
respect to their need for specific ele-
ments owing either to their method Of
formation or to their management
and cropping. A sandy soil Is usually
deficient in all the essential elements
OF plant food, while clayey soil
usually contains the mineral elements
In abundance, particularly potash. On
the other hand. soil very rich in veg
etable matter is frequently deficient
In mineral matter, while a limestone
soil is likely to contain considerable
proportions of phosphoric acid.
