USING HARD ROCK PHOSPHATE
IN ILLINOIS
There is a Definite Money Profit in


Its Use-Testimony of Experts
DR.. Cyril G.. Hopkins of the univer-
sity, who has had charge of this
states soil Investigations for more
than six years, had the following to
say about the plant food element phOs-
phorus in speaking to farmers in the
various soil experiment fields recently
inspected by the soil advisory COM
mittee of the Illinois farmers insti-
tute:
Phosphorus Returns SIS for 81
The Ohio experiment station has,
as an average of f3 crops of corn at
S5 cents per bushel, Is crops of oats
at Is cents, IL crops of wheat at 20
cents, 10 crops of clover and 10 crops
of timothy at Sc a ton, on land that
is richer in phosphorus than our land,
but poorer in nitrogen than our land,
found that every dollar invested in
phosphorus paid back SAG, while
neither nitrogen nor potassium paid
for its cost
The same station has found as the
average of Sc tests in eleven years
work that when rock phosphate was
applied in connection with manure
every dollar in rock phosphate paid
back $685.
On three different series of plots
at the university phosphorus has dOub-
led the yield of clover as an average
of the last three years.
On the Bloomington soil experiment
field phosphorus increased the yield
of wheat ten bushels per acre in 1905,
increased the yield of clover more
than one ton per acre in 1906, and in
creased the yield of corn following
clover by 10 bushels per acre in 1907.
The increase in either crop would
practically pay the cost of phosphorus
applied for the three years. In both

Rock Phosphate Results in Illinois
Experiments with natural rock phOs-
phate were started more recently in
Illinois, but have given good results
on our soils. Four years experiments
at the university have resulted in an
average increase of the crop equal to
s7.95, while $50 pounds of phosphorus
applied cost IS, but 21O pounds of it
still remain in the soil for use in fu-
ture crops. The results of 1907 alone
are an increase of $11.6S or $3.6S
more than the cost of rock phosphate,
while four-fifths of the phosphorus APP
piled still remains in the soil.
The value of the increase from rock
phosphate in six crops grown on the
Galesburg experiment field amounts
TO $14.40, or $40 more than the cost
of the phosphate applied, while four
1fths of this phosphate still remains
in the soil.
Plenty of nitrogen can be secured
from the air by growing legumes, the
organic matter of the crops can be
returned to the soil, but the one ele-
ment, phosphorus, must be bought.
One ton of rock phosphorus can be
bought for about IS; the same quanti-
ty of phosphorus in one ton of steam
ed bone meal costs $25; in two tons
OF acid phosphate it costs 500, and in
four tons of complete fertilizer, costs
$50 to 800. One thousand pounds of
the fine ground natural rock phos-
phate should be applied per acre ev-
cry four or six years, always in con-
nection with farm manure, legume
crops or other green manuPes-Cham-

Mr. pavne's statement comprised an
ANALYSIS OF the bill. showing both the
Increases and the decreases, hut this de-

general summary In which he undertook

and decreases according to schedules.
According to this showing the total in
c-cases were on importatons valued at
ESQ 70 5o5 and the total decreases on I'M
nortations. amounting to S,9N.1,2l4
In this preliminary statement MI
PAYNE said that he had made nm invesh-
cation based on the census returns OF
1903 showing the amount OF domestic
consurption OF articles upon which du-
t,cs have been raised and also the articles
unon which duties have been lowered by
the hill as finally reported from the con-
ference committee This had been done
because comparisons have been made
based upon the amount Of importations,
he said.
Duties" he said. have been lowered
where they were too high under the
nresent law, sometimes prohib!tive In
character. and for that reason the impor-
tat,ors were comparatively small
ON the other hand they have been In
some Instances where the tariff was in
sufficient for protection and the importa'
