depth of SO feet; it is built Of brick,
ornamental with stone.
Georgia will spend $4,000 on State
building, which will be reproduc-

Free Information

To limited number of farmers VINO
want to know, the Propaganda, in ad-
dition to bulletins from agricultural
experiment stations, giving results Of
actual trials with Nitrate of Soda, is
sending handsomely illustrated book
which any farmer may understand. and
which should be in the library of ev-
cry farm in the United States.
Farmers who may not care to make
any of the experiments, who would
like to know the results that others
have obtained or who desire any in
formation whatever concerning nitrate
of soda should write to William S.
Myers, director, John street and II
Nassau street, New York.

A Great SaVfnn

In view of these facts it seems ex-
traordinary that farmers should con-
tinue to purchase their Nitrogen in
compound form with phosphate, when
they can procure it much cheaper, and
ready for the plants immediate use,
in the form of Nitrate of Soda. The
New Jersey Experiment Station, after
Analysing nearly 200 different "com-
plete fertilizers" found the average
value or market price of the various
constituents to be $25.66 per ton,
while the average selling price was
S34.23 per ton. In some instances the
actual value of the plant food was as
low as $500 per ton, while the price
per ton was $500. Available Nitro

intelligent cultivatOr has learned that
this holds good in the feeding of
plants. Nitrogen is the element that
enters most largely into the build
ing up of the plant itself-root,
stem and leaves. Most plants need
to take up most of their Nitrogen
during the early stages of their
growth, as in oats. 1t is plain,
therefore, that the cultivator cannot
afford to overlook Nitrate, and thus
endanger the chances of his crops
which must have Nitrogen in a form
the plants can use. The presence Of
Nitrate at the outset enables the
plant to get it's food when it needs
it most, and develops vigorous
growth of roots, leaves and stems
capable of withstanding the scorch-
ing rays of the sun or sudden
changes of the temperature, disease
or the attacks of parasites.
Nitrate of Soda is of high value
for early crops, such as peas, corn,
beets, cabbage, etc., where rapid ma
turity is desirable. 1t is a special
help to hay, grain. rye, wheat, tim
othy, orchard or other cereals or
grasses, all of which are unable to
obtain sufficient Nitrogen from the

gen in the form Of Nitrate of Soda
costs about II cents per pound. 1t
costs from 25 to 80 cents pound in
so-called complete fertilizers" and
even then is often in a form which
is not available as food for the plants,
for it must first be converted into Nj
trate. The time required to do this
varies from a few days to a few
years according to the temperature
of the soil and the kind and cond1-
ton of the material used in the "com-
plete fertilizer"
It must be recognized that the
farmer should have chance to de-
rive some profit from the use of
fertilizer, and wise buying is a pre-
requisite to successful use.

The Nitrate mines in Chilli are su-
pervised by the government and au-
thentic information is annually circu-
lated about Nitrate of Soda among
those who should profit by it. For this
purpose the Nitrate of Soda Propa-
ganda is maintained. Advertisements
have been placed in the leading agri-
cultural papers and offices established
at John Street and II Nassau Street,
New York, for giving out information
in regard to actual tests made with
Nitrate of Soda and as to it's uses.

soil just when they need it. 1t is a
great specific in the production of sug-
ar beets, potatoes, cotton and cane.
Small fruits, such as blackberries,
currants, raspberries, and gooseber-
ries, which need a steady, even growth
are greatly benefited by Nitrate of
Soda, which can be furnished all ready
for digestion when the plants require
it.
The highest agricultural authorities
have established by careful expert
mentation that 100 pounds per acre of
Nitrate of Soda applied to crops has
produced the INCREASED yields tab
ulated as follows:

The Purpose OF the Nit
rate Propaganda

Free books, bulletins and all de-
sired information are promptly for
warded to farmers interested. Thou
sands of farmers of the United States
have seen Nitrate of Soda advertise
ments and thousands have written in
answer to them for free books.
No nitrate is sold by the Nitrate
Propaganda; it is maintained Simply
to put the fact clearly and accurately
before the cultivators throughout the
country and rapidly they are finding
out that Nitrate of Soda is the cheap
est and by far the most practical form
of supplying their crops with Nitro
gen. 1t is the only existing instantly
available heterogeneous Food for
Plants.

How to FertiliZe

Every farmer knows that plants
need food as much as cattle. He
knows that plants cannot get all the
food they need out of the ground
alone. He must supply them with
certain foods himself, or they will not
thrive or bear their full yield OF fruit.
Exactly as he supplies hay and oats
to his horse so he must supply nitro
gen and phosphate to his plants. he
may buy these in the open market
exactly as he does his hay or his
oats. or he can buy them in comDl-
nation in the form of a complete fer
tilizer." There is no secret value In
the complete fertilizer, it is nothing
more nor less than the ingredients
combined and sold at higher price
Nitrogen is by far the most expen-
sive of plant foods, and it will pay the
farmer well to stop and think before
he buys it in this combination form.

The Best and Cheapest
AmmOniate

The cheapest and most practical
form in which to furnish nitrogen to
plants is nitrate of soda. In the
rainless region of Chill are stored
away vast quantities of nitrogen in
what are known as nitrates-the only
form in which nitrogen can be utilized
by plant. The nitrogen which exists
in organic matter, that is, roots,
stems, dead leaves, weeds, leather,
dried blood, etc., and also nitrogen
in the form of ammonia salts, must
first be changed to nitrate before IL
can be taken up by plants. This
change is dependent upon conditions
of weather. If season is backward or
there be a prolonged drouth this
change may be so retarded as to de-
prive the plant altogether of nitrate
food at the very time it needs it most;
moreover nitrogen in the form of am
monia salts leaves acid residues in the
SOIL Nitrate of soda, on the other
hand, is entirely independent of wealth
er and leaves the alkali behind as
soil sweetener 1t is Immediately
available under any circumstances, for
it is readily soluble, and Immediately
it comes within reach of the roots of
plants it begins to be taken up by
them. 1t can, therefore, readily be
seen that the practical value of va
rious forms of nitrogen ranges from
nothing at all, where conditions of
temperature or soil prevent nitratiOn,
to 100 per cent as nitrate Of soda
where nitration has already complete
ly taken place. Moreover, the process
of Transforming the nitrogen of cot
ton seed meal, dried fish. dried blood,
tankage and other heterogeneous con-
stituents of complete fertilizers" etc,
into nitrate is very wasteful, for much
valuable nitrogen is lost in the pro-
cess, as well as by natural oxidation.
Soil experiments have shown that 100
pounds of nitrogen in these organic
forms have only about one-half to
three-fourths the manurial value of
100 pounds of nitrogen in it's nitrated
form of nitrate of Soda

Results on Hay

For three years samples OF Nitrate
of Soda have been sent to farmers to
experiment on Timothy In each case

feet square, about LOO of an acre.
One received Nitrate of Soda, equiva-
lent to 100 pounds per acre, the other
had none. The following are fair SAM
pies of the results reported, giving the
weight of cured hay in each case:

Leonard D. Spicknall, La Belle, Mo-
Plot without nitrate, A lbs; with nj
trate 50 lbs 1T consider nitrate of soda
a most valuable producer as hay seems
softer and brighter from nitrate plot
than from the other.
The average of these tests show an
increase of 2,775 pounds of field
cured hay per acre with the use of
100 pounds Nitrate of Soda. Bearing
in mind the cost of Nitrate of Soda
per 100 pounds, it is very evident that
it pays to use it.
