WHICH SOURCE OF NITROGEN 7
BEST7


Nitrogen is a vital factor in crop pro-
duction. In the absence Of an abundant
supply of il profitable crops cannot be
grown. Our appreciation of its value
is shown by the large stores imported
from far distant points. and the sur
prising fact that in 1914 the consump-
ton of carriers of nitrogen was ap-
proximately 100000 tons, of which the
greater part was used directly as fer
tflizer, either singly or in combination
with phosphoric acid and potash. The
greater part OF this large supply Of
nitrogenous fertilizers was used in the
southeastern states. \ considerable
amount of ii was applied to truck and
fruit crops, but by far the larger part
was used as top dressers" under such
general field crops as corn and cotton.
The destruction of merchant tonnage
through the activity Of German sub
marines has materially lessened the
supply of nitrogenous carriers available
from foreign countries, and hence the
farmers of America during the year
1918 must depend on using more largely
than ever domestic supplies of these
materials. Unfortunately, in spite of
the best efforts we may put forth to
increase our crops, the supply of nitro
genous fertilizers will be quite made
ouate to meet our present urgent needs.
Therefore, supplies of this material
should be husbanded and used with the
highest degree of skill and care in order
that we may be able to stimulate and
maintain our crop production on a basis
adequate to national and international
needs. Probably there has never been
a time in the previous history Of our
country when nitrogen was destined TO
play a more important part, because 1t
is not only in great demand for agrl-
cultural purposes, but in our industries
as well. It becomes, therefore, desira-
BILE and essential that we understand and
appreciate as fully and completely as
possible something about the various
sources of nitrogen available for use at
this time in order that we may secure
the largest measure of benefit from
their application.
