an application of phosphate alone, at
the rate of 200 lbs. per acre. The
same is true of hill landheavily ferti-

phosphoric acid aids fruitfulness and

Potash Unnecessary.

One of the most recent and valu-
able results of the work Of the ex-
pertinent stations of the South nas
been to demonstrate that potash is
unnecessary as a fertilizer on the soil
of this section. This is especially
true on the type of land that makes
up the southern half of Mississippi
Granting that 100000 tons of fertili-
zers, each ton containing $500 WORTH
of potash, are annually used in this
state. We can see at once where
we waste 100000 annually for an in
gredient that our soils and crops do
not need. And if they do not need
it if it does not increase the yields,
there is no sense in applying it.

Home Mixing of Fertilizers.

Home Mixing of Fertilizers.
Since it has been pretty conclusi-
vely demonstrated that potash is use
less on most of our soils, it follows
that the man who buys ton Of the
so-called complete fertilizer is vast
ing $1.5e or $500 for an element
this his soil does not need. 1t is
much better to buy a high grade of
acid phosphate and cottonseed meal
and mix them in the proper proper
ton at home. At present the marke
value of nitrogen is 20 cents per
pound, and that of phosphoric acid
and potash six cents per pound. TAX
ing these values as a hasis, we can
easily figure out the saving effected
by mixing fertilizers at home.
have in mind complete cotton
and corn fertilizer, manufactured
in this State, which is quite popular.
This fertilizer has guaranteed re
lative value Of $3.50 per ton. It's
guaranteed analysis shows it to
contain per cent available Pics
phoric acid, 1866 per cent nitrogen,
and 200 per cent potash. Since we do
not need this potash we had better
mix acid phosphate and meal at home
in the proportion and get the de-
sired amounts OF nitrogen and phos-
Dlnoric acid High grade meal an
alysis per cent nitrogen is prob
ably retailing on an average at SIS
90 per ton. or $1,25 per hundred
pounds Highgrade IS per cent acid
phosphate is costing about $500 pei

Now let US mix this meal and phos-
plate so as to get the same amounts
Of nitrogen and pnosphoric acid per
ton, as is contained in the above
factory-mixad complete fertilizer. /"
In order to do this we'll we will have
to nix exactly 1000 lbs. Of 16 per
cent phosphate, worth $500 at pres
ent prices, with 383 lbs Of meal
worth .s4.77 at present prices. The
total weight Of this mixture viii be

II. Now $3.50 less s12.77, which is

actual crep-producing power of the

over, it is 617 lbs. lighter in weight
