Fertilizer Injuries Young
Peach Trees When Set

The Georgia Experiment Station
has issued the following bulletin:
'On the third day of March, 1920,
a number of young peach trees were
set at the Georgia Experiment Sta
ton, and different kinds of fertiliz-
ers mixed with the soil, and allowed
to come in contact with roots in fill
ing up the holes, so as to determine
the effects on the newly set trees.
'"The trees were set and fortified
as follows:
"Trees Nos. l and 2 received two
pounds of cotton-seed meal each.
Tree No. received no fertilizer.
"Trees Nos. and 5 received 2
pounds of fertilizer made by mix
ing together l 1-2 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 1-2 pound of nitrate of
soda, and 2 pounds of acid phos-
phate.
"Trees Nos. 6 and received one
pound of nitrate of soda each.
Trees Nos. and 9 received two
pounds of acid phosphate each.
Trees Nos. 10 and II received
ga pound of sulphate of ammonia
each.
"0n the 18th day of May all the
trees which had been fortified with
either nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia singly or in combination
with other fertilizers were dead
while those trees receiving cotton
seed meal alone, acid phosphate alone
and not fortified, were living and
had made slight twig growth. By
June first all the trees, except the
one receiving no fertilizer, had died.
This particularly tree had made APP
| proximately eleven inches of twig
growth and seemed vigorous and
healthy.
"The above conditions are what
might be expected, for as soon as
enough fertilizer goes into solution
to make the soil moisture of greater
density than the sap in the root!
of the newly set trees, the sap is ex
tracted from the roots-a process
known as exosmosis-and the tret
soon dies. The more soluble the fer

Soon an irate proprietor arrived
on the scene, and when quiet was re-
stored and explanations followed,
he convinced them by the pieces that
the only plate in the lot so marked
was the first one, an odd one they
happened to use. To soothe hil
wounded feelings he named . prizes
several times the value OF the plates,
which the subdued guests willingly
paid.
