FERTILIZING CONSTITUENTS l.
VELVET BEAN MEAL.

VELVET BEAN MEAL.
c. L. w, Vienna. Ga, writes: Would
like to know the value of velvet bean meal
as n manure compared to cottOnseed meal.
Velvet beans when ground up without
the hull contains 1913 pounds of nitro
gen. 20 pounds of phosphoric acid and
"a pounds of potash per ton. a good
grade of cotton seed meal contains
about one-third more nitrogen, about
one-half more phosphoric acid and an
equal amount of potash. Their differ
ence in value would depend, therefore,
on the amount of phosphoric acid and
nitrogen, and you can see that this
would be considerable.
There is no reason of course why vel
vet beans should not be used as source
of fertilizer if they can be bought at
the same relative cost cotton seed
meal. If the two materials have been
priced to you by the ton and you know
the composition of the same you can
easily figure out which will furnish you
the most plant food at the cheapest
price. 1t is naturally a mistake to APP
ply these meals direct to the soil as
they can be used to advantage for feed
