We Can Save the Buying of Not
Need and Can Mix the Fertile
Soils-We Should Quit Buying Nitrogen

INV HAT COMMERCIAL fertilizers
MI rightly used, pay on most of
01 our Southern soils, no care
full observer will deny. But that the
average farmer gets the best results
and the maximum returns from his
investment in such fertilizers, is very
doubtful. 1t Is in the abuse, rather
than in the use, Of comercial fertil-
izers that so per cent OF our parm-
ers err.
1t has been commonly held that
our soils are deficient in three es-
sential elements of plant food, viz:
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash;
but the almost universal result OF
experiment station tests throughout
the Gulf States has been to eliminate
potash as one OF the needed elements.
This considerably simplifies the prob
lem OF soil fertility. leaving as 1t does
only nitrogen and phosphoric acid

lily on the wrong side of the ledger.
Fortunately more and more of our
farmers are beginning to realize these
facts, and there is no question but
that more nitrogen-gathering crops
are being grown every year. This
is the real fertilizer problem of the
South-the nitrogen supply. When
every farmer has solved this problem
on his own farm, the rest-the sup
ply Of phosphoric acid-will be cheap
and easy.
But for the immediate use of those
soils that have not been enriched by
leguminous crops or manures, some
nitrogen is absolutely necessary IL
profitable crops are to be grown. This
brings us to the question of mixing
at home such ingredients as will best
meet our soil and crop requirements.
Practically every ton of factory
mixed commercial fertilizer contains
from $3.50 to $500 worth Of potash.
This Is worthless on our soils, but
when we buy this mixture we pay for
1t, pay freight on 1t. and perhaps haul
1t over several miles of bad roads,
To eliminate this potash bill; to
mix at a labor cost of from SO to Is
cents per ton, the same or equally
as valuable constituents as those the
factories charge perhaps two or three
times as much for mixing; and to
proportion the elemnets in such a
way as to meet the requirements OF
different soils and different crops, are
some OF the things we accomplish by
mixing our fertilizers at home.

Actual experience proves that thi
| can be done for cost not exceeding
rs cents per ton, including the re
sacking. The proportions of meal ant
acid must always be determined by
the soil and the crop to be grown
remembering that nitrogen tends tc
promote stalk growth In any crop
while phosphoric acid promotes
fruitfulness and hastens maturity
On the same class Of soil, corn or any
grass crop will always require a
larger proportion Of meal than cot

Editorial Answer.-Unless your
farm is located along distance from
a market for cottonseed. so that the
expense Of hauling would be large,
it would seem that at present prices
Of seed and meal, it would pay best
to sell the seed and buy meal. In
some sections seed are selling near
tilizer purposes ton of meal Is
worth two tons Of seed. A ton of
cottonseed contains about 60 pounds
OF nitrogen, "a pounds of potash and
26 pounds of phosphoric acid. At
90 cents pound for nitrogen, and
cents pound for potash and phos-
phoric acid each. a ton of seed is
worth for fertilizer about S14.50.
Cottonseed do not form a properly
balanced fertilizer for most soils.
The per cent of nitrogen is too high
for the amount of phosphoric acid
they contain. 1t is possible that the
land in question does not need phos-
phoric acid. but the strong probable
ity is that it does.
1t is generally recommended to
apply to corn on average land about
equal quantities Of cottonseed meal
and 16 per cent acid phosphate. II
400 pounds of such a mixture should
be used per acre. then 1t will require
413 pounds Of cottonseed and 200
pounds Of 16 per cent acid phosphate
to give an equal amount of nitrogen
and phosphoric acid. This answers
the question as to the quantity OF
cottonseed that should be used. On
average land probably 400 pounds to
the acre is as much as should be
used; but. Of course. In some cases
more may be found profitable.
When cottonseed are used for fer
tilizer many prefer to compost them
so as to kill their termination. In
such case. for every ton Of cotton
seed used there should be mixed
about 1000 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate, and for every ton of
stable manure about $50 pounds adj
ditional acid phosphate should be
mixed with it. Others, again, prefer
to kill the seed by wetting them
down in heaps and allowing them to
heat sufficiently to kill termination.
When seed and acid phosphate are
used instead of meal and acid phos-
plate, they may be applied in the

Wheat is good crop this year and brings in more
money than any product in the state OF Kansas. The
banks of the state cannot compare with the farmer
who raises wheat in profits. These profits always
seek investment. The question, is what to do with
the money To put your money in the bank does
not pay because banks are after the profits, and if
they pay you interest for your deposits they cut
down their profits, consequently they won't pay you
only very low rate of interest, if any, for your
money. Men all over the country, who have money
be it much or little, will not consider anything for
an investment, except land because it has come to
be the safest place to put money where it will surely
come back to you with big profits and even bigger
profits than you make by wheat raising and these
land profits come back to you with all the money you
first put into the land, with certainty.
We have the largest list of lands in central and ives
tern Kansas The lands have to offer from $1,000 to
$500 per acre. depending the Improvements etc. These
lands we have are only 80 miles from the $40 and $50 per
