COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
THEIR USE AND ABUSE

Since the prime object in the use
Of all commercial fertilizers is to in
crease production, they must be used
either to supply plant food directly or
TO so act upon the soil that q larger
quantity of its nutritive elem ents will
be at the disposal of the plant. In
actual practice most commercial fer
uliZers com bine both effects. All the
distances required by plants except

SoOu from IL
When left in loose heaps under
cover. it has been found that manure
loses IA per cent of it's nitrogen
W hen these heaps are not covered this
loss amounts to- 80 per cent, and when
exposed in thin layers, as is the case
when it is left on the barn lot, this
loss Increases to ga per cent. Puttln-
it differently, the same manure that
when properly cared for is worth $2.1o
q ton, If allowed to remain i'll loose
heaps for twelve months is worth only
50 When those heaps are uncovered
the value falls to $40 and the un-
protected thin layer ~ the END Of n =
time is worth only $11O. This ls not
the extent of the loss. for that portion
of the fertilizer ingredients that Is
left is the least valuable, and what we
have IS really only for the refuse OF
the formerly valuable manure. TINS
tremendous loss from improper ndnd-
ling easily explains WIN our farmers
find it necessary to use SUCH large
quantities of manure to derive much
benefit from it. It will be observed
that even when the manure IS stored
in q shed there is q loss. BY covering
the manure heap with certain sub
stances it is found that not only can
this loss be prevented, but that the

of plants. and it follows that every
thing of ycgetab Bile origin is q valuable
source of this substance. WheH
vegeta BILE matter is burned the nitro
gen is released from its com DinatiOn
and escapes into the atmosphere and
is lost. The forms most important
to the farmer of the South in which
nitrogen is available are vegeta BILE
matter, the droppings Of animals. cot
ton seed meal, bone meal. nitrate
Of soda, sulphate of ammonia and
the products of the slaughter pen in
what is known as tankage.
Next in Importance as a plant food
is phoSphoric acid. It is largely re-
Quired by the plant for growth, but
is absolutely essential in the perfec-
ton Of seed and is q great factor in
Fastening the maturity of crops. The
torn of phosphoric acid most acces-
sible &c the farmer is known as acid
phosphate.
Potash is more directly effective in
promoting fruitage. but 1t is rarely
very deficient in soils, and especially
found in abundance in ashes. Com
mercially it is most cheaply obtained
IN the form of kaint.
What Fertilizer TO Buy.
Since the elements Of plant food
already mentioned are required in
diff erent quantities by different plants
and since the soils vary in their sup
ply, it is we'll for the farmer to know
what his soil and plants need before
Investing his money in fertilizers. The
practical way for the farmer to de-
termline these facts is to observe the

indicates that the soil requires potash,
Most Of the soils Of the South are
deficient il both nitrogen and phoS-
phoric acid, and some in potash. 50
when we buy commercial fertilizers
We buy them for their content Of
these substances. If the farmer has
saved all his manures and has srown
coWpeas abundantly. as he should,
he will rarely have to buy nitrogen.
How to BUY Fertilizer.
Commercial plant food. called fer
tilizer, is never sold pure, hat in
combination with other substances.
The substances with which it is COM
bined are of no value to the farmer.
but simply add to the weight. The
laws Of nearly all of the States now
require that Oh each sack Of COM
mercial fertilizer shall be stamped
just what plant food it contains This
composition is given in percentages.
which means that in a hundred
pounds Of the fertilizer there are 50
many pounds of the particular sub
stances For example, a certain fer
tilizer is offered for sale on the sack
Of which is branded the following:
Nitrogen ............ 5 per cent.
Soluble phosphoric acid. 6 per cent.
r RI e phosphoric
aCld per cent
\ V a q bic phosphoric
acld 10 per cent.
olaSh ..'..... per cent.
Translated into terms of pounds.
this means that in a sack weighing
100 pounds there are
Three pounds OF nitrogen
Six pounds OF soluble phosphoric
acid
Four pounds Of reverted phos~
phoric acid.
Ten pounds Of available phosphorus
acid.
Two pounds Of potash.
| This gives total of Is poundss OF
plant food III a 1O0-pound sack.
When ton of such fertilizer is
bought. the purchaser secures nitro
gen. so pounds; soluble phosphoric
acid, 1ZO pounds; reverted phos-
40 pounds. Notice that what is call
! ed 'availa BILE" Is the sum OF the
soluble and the reverted acid. LII
| this fertilizer we obtain three things
| that are Of use--3 pounds Of nitro
gen, 10 pounds of phosphoric acid.
and pounds of potash to the hum
| dred pounds.
If cotton seed meal, acid phosphate.
and kainit are used to make this fer

quantities for one ton OF the mixture:

%These prices are based on cotton
seed meal, at SIS per ton: acid phos-
phate, at s15: and kainit. at s1z: If
the price OF these articles varies up
or down, of course that of the ton or
fertilizer will vary accordingly.
Ammonia is nothing but nitrogen IN
combination with another substance
of no value. Inserting the ammonia
in the formula is apt to deceive one
who does not know the distinction.
Remember that it is the pounds Of
plant food that are wanted and not
Just sack of stuff the majority OF
which is of no value.
Taking acid phOsphates as an ex-
ample, we find that there IS q great
variation in their composition. Some
run as low as 10 pounds of available
phosphoric acid to 100 pounds, while
others contain as much as IA to i
pounds AS phosphoric acld gener-
ally sells at about cents a pound, the
former would be worth fifty
cents q hundred, whereas the latter
would cost 10 cents. In buying, then,
it is economy to take the hlgn- grade
goods, even though they cost little
more.

meal contains the following percent
