Answer by Prof. Jacob O. Iipman.
!. There are many instances on
record to show that soils may be main
tanned fertile for an indefinite length
OF time Without the use Of barn-yard
manure. AS a striking illustration in
this connection, students of soil fer
uity are wont to cite the classical
experience of Schultz at Altmark, Sax
ony. Beginning in 1855 on a very
hgnt, coarse grained sandy soil, de-
hcient in humus and minera plant
food, he gradually increased the pro-
ductiVe power of the land, until about
the Year 1900 it could yield 800 to $50
bushels of potatoes per acre. inns
Was accomplished practically without
me use of barn-yard manure IL
at all used the manure was employed
very occasionally and very spar1ngly.
Analyses of the soil at the end or
IoTt$-tve years showed that the pro-
portion Of nitrogen had nearly trebled
and hat the humus content had been
enriched to an amazing extent.
In the United States there are SINH

goes on, and as more meth

more general application will be
mace OF the principles under consid-
Grafton. In the growing Of grain and
nay, Tor example, many m in
the East are already utilizing green

:. provision should be made in all
SOILS Tor maintaining a proper supply
of available p~hOSphOric acid by the
annual use of 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate. The amounts Of
potash and nitrogen to be supplied will
depend largely on the character Of
the soil, the character of the crops
grown, the use of barn-yard manure,
green manures, etc. Generally speak

ing down to winter grain or grass or
soil containing q fair amount of hu-
mus:
For light soils-250 pounds of acid
phosphate, loo pounds muriate OF
potash and SO pounds of nitrate of
soda.
For medium and heavy soils-2o0
pounds of acid phosphate, so pounds
Of muriate of potash and SO pounds Of
nitrate of soda.
Where barn-yard is used az
the rate of 10 or II tons per acre.
the muriate and nitrate could be
omitted. In addition to the fertilizer
materials named above. it will usually
prove desirable to employ a further
amount Of nitrate Of soda as d top
dressing early in the following spring
at the rate of IS to 100 pounds per
acre. OF course, when n is
used, or when a leguminous green ma
nure had been plOWed under, the
top dressing with nitrate in the spring
may be omitted.
;. Poultry manure owes most Of its
value to the nitrogen contained in
il. Fresh poultry manure contains
30 to 80 pounds Of nitrogen per ton,
but since this nitrogen is not as avail
able as that in nitrate of soda. q ton
of poultry manure may be regarded
for practical purposes, as equivalent
to 100 pounds of nitrate Of soda. Sub
stituting poultry n for nitrate
and making no allowance for the phOS-
phoric acid and potash contained in
the former, the following mixture
could be used for winter grain and
grass in the fall on medium and heavy
soils; 200 pounds acid phosphate,
1000 pounds of fresh poultry manure
and so pounds of muriate. Of potash.
