APPLICATION OF PHOSPHATES
Grain Yields May Be Increased by Plow-
ing Under Phosphates With Manure
or Vegetables Matter

Only slowly available commercial
fertilizers should be applied in the
fall for following spring crop. Prom
inent among these is raw rock phos-
plate applied because it supplies the
element phosphorus. 1t is applied as
a very fine powder, containing about
II per cent phosphorus or the equiva-
lent of from q to 30 per cent 'phOs-
phoric acid. An idea of its extreme
fineness may be gained from the fact
that about 80 per- cent of it will usu-
ally pass through what chemists call
100 mesh sieve-that is one which
has 10000 openings per square inch.
Acid phosphate is made by treating
the rock form with sulphuric acid,
but this makes the phosphorus cost
about four times as much in this
more available form. For fall appli-
cation, however, the ground rock
phosphate is better because of it's
cheapness, because of tile fact that it
will hold its strength longer, and will
benefit the following crops. In fact,
it is two or three years before much
of its phosphorus is regarded as avail
able for use by plants, but. this de-
ponds on the soil. When much. hui
mus or decaying vegetable matter is
present, acids are formed which act
on the rock phosphate and set the
phosphorus free for the use of the
plant. This is the reason for the ap-
plication of barnyard manure mixed
with the raw rock phosphate at the
rate of from $50 to 200 pounds of phos-
.phate per load of manure. This mix
ture should be applied at the rate of
about ZOO pounds OF phosphate per
acre. 80. -.
Lack of phosphorus i'm the soil is
often shown by poorly filled heads of
grain, but this may result from other
yelopment of the seed, and where it
is deficient grain yields are likely to
be light, even though the straw ap-
Continuous grain growing. has UNI
doubtedly decreased the available
phosphorus i'm many of our soils, es-
pecially when no barnyard manure or
crop residue is returned. Another
reason for blowing under barnyard
manure or green crops with rock phoS-
phate arises from the increased bac-
terial action which tends to break up
the phosphorus compounds and make
them available for the growing crops.
