The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-02-26

We have 1,5SS pounds OF materials
supplying all the plant food In a ton
OF fertilizer OF the quality indicated
above. Therefore. II the farmer wish
ed to apply 400 pounds Of a 2-S-2
fertilizer to the acre. he would only
need to apply 1858 divided by 6, or
31S pounds OF the mixture, which
we have made up. to get the same
plant food under his crop.
vi.
Now. then. 1t Is plain that when
the farmers demand such q low
grade fertilizer. the manufacturer
has nothing to do but supply 1t. and
after putting his 1883 pounds Of ma
terials together must add something
else to make out the ton. He Is,
therefore. compelled to pay for the
hauling to his mixing plant of 412
pounds Of some filler to make out
the ton. 1t Is stated advisedly that
he is compelled to do this. and such
is a fact. for he must meet the de-
mands Of the trade and tho trade Of

III the farmer did not force the manu-
facturer to mix this 400 pounds Of
sand with the other materials, the
freight charges would be less, for the
freight is less on 1,5SS pounds than
on 1900 pounds. The farmer, of
course, pays the freight on this 412
pounds Of sand also. for the privilege
of buying low-grade, ready-mixed fer
tilizers.
1t would also appear that the av-

the majority of farmers requires, or
demands, low-grade goods.
To obtain this 412 pounds of sand
costs money. and the farmer must
pay that cost 1t also requires an
extra sack or two to hold it, for
which the farmer also should, and
does. pay.
The cost of mixing all these ma
terials is also something, and is,
therefore, an additional legitimate
charge against the ton of fertilizer.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-02-26

small amount of money is paid for
the mixing of these fertilizers. This
is apparent IL one considers the many
large and expensive establishments
profitably engaged in the mixing of
fertilizers for the farmers of the
South.
The question for US to consider,
from the farmers standpoint, Is sim
ply. II any considerable part of this
large added cost of our fertilizers
may be saved by mixing these fer
tilizers at home?
IL such saving can be made-and
II can--without lessening the efiici-
ency OF the fertilizers, It follows
without argument that Ii Is to the in
terest of every farmer to consider
the feasibility OF mixing his own fer
tilizers that he may increase his prof
its. or help in getting that $500
More Year" Before discussing this
question further. 1t might be we'll to
state that We have no fight with or
complaint to make of the fertilizer

are honorable. heightened business
men who deal fairly with their pa
irons and gives a dollars worth OF
goods for dollar in cash, only less
a reasonable and legitimate profit.
III.
Not infrequently the claim Is made
that the farmer has not the expensive
machinery necessary to mix fertil-
ixers according to the requirements
OF the laws OF his State. and that for
this reason IL In better for him to
purchase fertilizers already mixed.
To this It may be answered that while
IL Ia not practicable for the farmer
TO mix his fertilizers as thoroughly
as the law requires. IL Ii entirely
practicable and easy for him tn mix
them as well ms his crops require,
and that so far as the crops are con
ccrncd. IL makes no difference wheth-
or tho ingredients arc mixed ut all.
the chief reason for mixing being to
save cost In their application.
III.
Before any man attempts to mix
his own fertilizers he should acquaint
himself with the needs of his soil and
crops as far as he can by obtaining
the advice OF his Experiment Station
to supplement his own knowledge
secured through observation or ex-
pertinent. Then he needs only con
Germ himself with the purchase of the
materials needed TO supply the plan,
foods In the form required. In this
he should purchase on the basis OF
the available plant food which the
materials contain. always remember
ing that at the same price per pound
OF plant food contained. those
materials containing the highest per-
centages or amounts of plant food
are usually the cheapest. owing to
the saving OF freights.
Those who are not going to inform
themselves on these points and buy
their materials and mix them intelli-
gently. should continue to buy ready
mixed fertilizers, for the fertilizer
manufacturers know their business,
and usually do their work well. They
also. with very few slight exceptions.

Let us now. by example, show
some OF the advantages of home
mixing and incidentally the necessary
methods for accomplishing 1t.
Supposing that a fertilizer con-
tanning per cent Of nitrogen, 8 per
cent Of phosphoric acid. and 2 per
cent Of potash Is wished, and 1t is de-
sired to obtain the plant foods from
cottonseed meal, acid phosphate, and
muriate OF potash, how much of each
ingredient will be required to make
a ton Of the mixture? II there are
two pounds Of nitrogen in one hun
dred pounds. In twenty hundred
pounds. or one ton. there will be
20x2. or forty pounds. II In one
hundred pounds Of cottonseed meal
there are 60 pounds Of nitrogen,
40 divided by So will give the num-
Der OF hundred pounds required to
give us 40 pounds OF nitrogen need
ed; or approximately, Gas pounds Of
cottonseed meal. This 654 pounds
OF cottonseed meal also contains
about eighteen pounds Of phosphoric
acid and twelve pounds of potash,
since In every hundred pounds Of
cottonseed meal there are about 2.8
pounds OF phosphoric acid and 1.s
pounds OF potash.
v.
BY the same process Of figuring
there will be found to be contained
In this ton OF fertilizer, Of the quail
ity stated. 160 pounds OF phosphoric
acid and forty pounds Of potash. II
from tho $50 pounds of phos-
phoric acid to be obtained from
acid phosphate. Is deducted the Is

shall need lac pounds from our acid
phosphate. II we buy Is per cent
acid phosphate. 142 divided Is will
give us the number Of hundred
pounds OF acid phosphate really re-
CURED. which is approximately Ss5
pounds. Since muriate Of potash
contains approximately SO pounds of
potash In 100 pounds. and we need
10 pounds OF potash less the IL
pounds. II is apparent that we need

THE week AFTER ChristmasT' re-

Eyes. the week after Christmas" was
the reply. THE way TO do when you
get a handsome present you didn't ex-
pect from some one O never thought
was going to send you anything Is 20
wait till the week after Christmas. when
holiday goods are literally going for al
most nothing in the stores. Then you
buy something nice In return and send
II by mail or express, with a letter dat
ed a few days before Christmas In the
package. Then 1t Is delivered Just
about the time the person who sent
you the nice gift Is saying to herself
Well how foolish I vas to send HER
anything! Never again. Having re-
ceived the nice gift. you got at a bar
gain a day or so after Christmas. even
IL the recipient suspects what you've
she can't prove II. and will have to
give you the benefit of the doubt that
your gift was overlooked or delayed In
the great jam Of goods that swampsd
the mail and the express companies
always with love and best wishes
Of the holiday season." remarked Mr..
Jarr.
"Of course, even the costliest gift
would be without value unless II was
sent with love and good wishes" said
Mrs. Jarr. 'iBut, as was saying. thank
goodness all my Christmas gift debts
are paid!'
As though II were waiting for these
words to be spoken as a cue. the bell

"Oh, goodness gracious. a Christmas
gift!" cried Mrs. Jarr. peevishly.
And you thought you hadn't an en-.

Jarr.
But Mrs. Jarr was opening the pack
age, and when 1t disclosed another ar
calendar she upset her coffee on the
new tablecloth in sweeping the Debated
gift to the floor.
But %stanching her tears at this double
disaster reminded her h had plenty

help and employers big and little see in the multitude Of "glad
hands" stretched out all around them only the tangible expression of
graft, and the average household distribution of Christmas presents
means toll and anxiety beforehand and iealousies and heartburnings
afteward-when the "Christmas" magazines are published before
Thanksgiving so IS to scoop in the holiday advertising business, and
war scare and a cry for soldiers and armament-when such signs of
the season as these are observable on the horizon, they mean that come

thst is the idea we have got to get back to, if we would really enjoy
ourselves at this or any other time.
Cardinal Gibbons refers to 'that sweetest and most rational
pleasure of contributing to the happiness of Others" The great thing
about this pleasure of giving happiness is that a man may be rich in
it just to the extent that he is poor in money and worldly goods. If
it were not for some such wise law of creation, syndicates and trusts
would have cornered happiness long ago.
A man who is broke has carte blanche to give himself-the only
kind OF giving that really counts. A man whose income is a hun
dred dollars a minute can't give himself, because his wealth owns
him, body and soul.
That is why envying milionaires is an awful waste of time. If
anything, we ought at this season to give our sympathies n week of
from their customary occupations, and let them pity the sorrows of
the desperately rich. The lives of these poor money-slaves are
consumed lin a hopeless struggle to attain the independence of poverty
which is ours without an effort.
Mr.. Carnegie reconstructs the diplodocus. donates libraries. and
fakes long chances on winning universal peace at $1O,OOO,OOO a throw,

far ahead of the game, but nobody will bcgrudge the Christmas wish
that he may live a long time yet.
Mr.. Rockefeller has "gven away" some $4,000 900 in the
last thirty years, and yet in this wintry weather he is unable to
give what the traffic policeman and the snow-shoveler from the
Bowery clearinghouse give ~frcey-help to the heroic draught-horges
