APPLYING NITRATE OF SODA
Increased Crop Yield From its Use
Makes Increased Drain Upon
Phosphorus and Potassium.

On an old meadow which has not

o. nitrate Of soda Is almost certain
tn show very marked results. The
farmer is likely u be so enthusiastic
0ver the showing made that he at
once concludes that nitrogen is the
n factor needed to make bis hay
crop a profitable one. Right here lies
the danger. While the first spplica-
ton of nitrate of soda may show these
riarked results, it is not by any nfea
safe to conclude that nitrogen is the
only element of fertility needed. Re
peated applications of nitrate of soda
may oon result in no apparent bene-
ct and even result in a final condition
worse than the original condition.
The first application Of nitrate of soda
shows such marked results because
there is a marked deficiency of nitro
gen In the soil; but there is sufficient
Of ths other fertilizing elements, par
ticulsrly phosrharrs and potassium,
to balance the nitrogen used. The in
creased crop yields from the use of
nitrate of soda make an increased drain
upon the available phosphorus and
potassium of the soil. No effort being
msde to replace these elements thus
removed, the time very soon comes
when no response is received from the
application of nitrate of soda, because
the phosphoric acid and potash have
been depleted, OF, In ether words, are
the limiting factors. As a rule. where
nitrate of soda is used as a fertilizer
it is a safe principle to use in con-
nection with it some form Of phos-
phorus and potassium, having in mind
permanent results rather than a tenn
pOrary i~ntvease due to the nitrate of
soda.
