The formula which you propose to use
for tobacco should answer very well,
though it is possibly higher in nitrogen
than most formulas used on this crop.
AS a rule, the potash and acid for to-
bacco should run a little higher, and es-
pecially is this true of tn epotash. IL
would be a difficult matter to mix
fertilizer containing as much nitrogen as
Is indicated in your letter and use fish
scrap and nitrate of soda as the two
sources of nitrogenous material 1t would
be better to prepare a formula as fol-
lows: Mix together 300 pounds of high
grade sulphate OF ammonia, 300 pounds
of high-grade nitrate of soda. 400 pounds
of fish scrap, $50 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate, and $50 pounds of high
grade sulphate of potash. This will give
you a fertilizer containing about the
percentage indicated in your letter. You
will see that this requires no filler be-
cause of the high-grade materials nee
essary to use in order to secure the per-
centages desired This should make a
good fertilizer for tobacco with the ex-
ceptions noted above. To Increase the
potash and lower the nitrogen would be
a simple matter by adding 100 to 2OS
pounds more of acid and a few more
pounds of potash and cutting out some
of the sulphate of ammonia.
