A Cheaper Phosphate Fertilizer

There has been practical over
turning of tine cid theory that Florida
and South Carolina rock phosphates
vast underground deposits of the
bones Of antediluvian animals-was
unavailable as plant food unless treat
ed with sulphuric acid, converting it
into what is known as acid phos-
pilates. This process itself costs as
much as the raw phosphate, the prices
of the untreated and the chemically
treated phOsphates being respective
ly, in Washington, for instance, about
Sc and $12 a ton.
Now, it appears from experiments
Maine experiment station, and con-
tinued by half a dozen other stations
that the southern rock phosphates,
simply pulverIzed, become entirely
available as plant food, although not
so Immediately taken up by the plant
as the chemically dissolved phosphate
The department of agriculture at
Washington has in press very in
teresting statement on this subject.
1t is of immense Importance to farm
ers generally, as the use of undis-
solt0d rock means great decrease
in the cost of fertilizer. The bulletin
can be obtained free of cost by ap-
plication to the secretary of agricult-
ure for farmers bulletin No. 262.
1t is suggested that for certain crops
it may be profitable to combine the
two kinds of phosphates, the dissolved
rock to hasten the early growth of
the crop, while the larger application
of unground rock will supply it's later
wants.
In the Ohio station experiment, the
important information was developed
that when the pulvoriZed rock was
sprinkled on barnyard manure at the
rate of 40 pounds to ton of manure,
it not only acted as a preventive of
loss of nitrogen, but was itself made
more available as plant food. The
phosphate was as effective as gypsum
and kainit as a nitrogen preServative,
while at the same time it REINFORCED
the manure in phosphoric acid in
WAiSl IL ID uoutIily OCHSIChC
In AZ tests made by the Ohio sta
ton, covering seven years, the aver
age value of farm manure was found
to be $1.99 per ton, measured in
increased crop yields prod uced, while
when 40 pounds of finely ground rock
phosphate were added to a ton of
manure the total average value was
found to be 1923 per ton, 40 pounds
Of phosphate thus increasing the
value $1.24 per ton. The cost of this
40 pounds of phosphate was about 16
cents.

Good Points of Essex Hog
