but Chief Ross does not believe that
Perkins has escaped. II will be re.

had Perkins located, and would arrest
him and bring him up II the reward
was raised to one hundred dollars.
When this was done, Price stated
that Perkins had gotten away. Later,
he stated that he had arrested him,

match. 1t is largely needed by the
plant in growth, but is absolutely es-
Sential in the perfection of seed, and
is great factor in Fastening the ma
turity of the crops. When wood is
burned phosphoric acid and potash,
together with namber of other sub
tances, are left in the ashes, and it is
the presence of these two that makes
ashes valuable as d fertilizer.
Phosphoric acid is also found COM
bined with lime, in bones, besides be-
ing found in a mineral state in COM
binatiOn with lime. AS found in ma
ture, phosphoric acid is difficult of
solution in water, which must be over
come by treatment, as plants are able
to take up food only when it is dis
solved in water. 1t has been found
that by treating this insoluble lime
phosphate with acid it is changed into
two forms, one of which is known as
reverted phosphoric acid, and the
other as soluble phosphoric acid. The
former is soluble slowly in water or
weak acids, such as are found in the
soil, while the latter is readily dis
solved by water. These two are called
available phoSphoric acid, because
the plants can use them where the in
soluble does them really no good.
The most accessible form of phosphor-
ic acid to the farmer, is known as acid
phosphate. This is the product of the
treatment of the insoluble rock phos-
phate with acid, and thus treated con-
tains the phosphoric acid in all three
Of the above forms. Potash is more
directly effective in the perfection of
fruit, but it is rarely very deficient in
soils and especially the soils of the
Gulf States. 1t is found IN abundance
in ashes, and is there known as I've:

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

The time is rapidly approaching
when all farmers should give their. at.
tension to the purchasing of such com
mereial fertilizers as they will need
for the coming crop. Before the farm
er can buy lntelligentlY, he should
know just what these commercial fer
tiliHerS are and also their method OF
action. Since the prime object in the
use of all such substances is TO in
crease the production, commercial fer
tilizeps must be used either to supply
plant food directly or to so act upon
the soil that larger amount of its
nutritive elements may be at the dis
posal of the plant. In actual practice
most commercial fertilizers combine
both effects. Since one principal OBJ
iect in the use of commercial fertili-
zerS isl to make up for the Soils def
cheney in plant food, they must neces-
sarily contain this food. Of all the
various substances of which plants
are composed, except three, nature
has provided that there shall be an
abundant supply to all plants in even
the poorest of soils. The three that
are frequently insufficient are, nitro
gen, phosphOric acid, and potash. Of
these, nitrogen is of the most import
ance, not only because there is the
MOST frequently and insufficient sup
plv in soils, but also it is the one
most abundantiy used by plants.
While this is so, it is rather a singu-
lar fact that nitrogen is one of the
most abundant of natures elements.
Nearly fOur-tifths of the atmosphere we
breathe is composed, of this substance:
unfortunately, however it exists as a
gas and plants are not able to use ii
in this form. Before it is available it
must be combined with other substan-
ces. It's familiar combination is
known as ammonia. Nitrogen combines
with great many Substances, but il
is ALWAYS TRYING to escape from them,
and it is because it is SO difficult to
hold it in these combinations that it is
50 expensive. The chief function OF
nitrogen in plants is to promote
growth, but it is also of very great
importance in the perfection of fruits.
Since nitrogen enters SO largely in
| to the composition Of plants, it fol-
lows that everything of vegetable orr
gin is valuable source of this sub.
stance. 1t is very essential that this
should be thoroughly appreciated in
order that as much of it may be saved
as possible. When vegetable matter
! is burned upon the farm, the nitrogen
/ is released from its combination, and
escapes into the atmosphere and is
! lost. On the other hand, II this vege.
table matter is returned to the soil
when it DECAYS the combined nitrogen
is placed where it is available fol-
plant food. Nitrogen is available ir
a number of forms in commercial fer
filters. The forms most important tC
the farmer of the South are cottor
seed meal, bone meal, and the pro
ducts of the slaughter pen in what il
known as tankage.
Next in Importance as plant foot
is phosphoric acid. This substance
or rather phosphorus of which 1t is {
compound, is familiar to all in phos
phoresca1 ana the common
