means understand the needs Of the
soil ne is working with. If he does
not, he is not in position to use fer
tilizers intelligently. Not only do the
soils vary in their supply of plant
food but they also vary in their needs
correspondingly A farmer may not
be able to make an analysis, but he
can observe the character OF the
growth of plants in the soil and de-
rive therefrOm some idea as to the
needs.
First-rapid growth, with good
color, plenty of lean, indicates a good
supply of the element of nitrogen or
that the soil contains what the farmer
often refers to as ammonia"
Second good proportion of fruit
such as heads of wheat, or oats with
yelI-flled grains, or well-tilled, large
ears of corn indicate good supply
Of the element PHOSPHORUS.
Third-bad color, fruit dropping
easily, stalk lodging or falling, indi-
Gates lack of potash. Good upstand'
ing, stiff straw indicates enough
potash.
These three elements constitute the
J limiting ones, the ones which the soil
usually lack one or two or all OF
them. They are the ones which are
contained in commercial fertilizers
which are, as is commonly called
complete"
! Now let the farmer notice how
plants grow in his soil. Does ne
notice plenty of color, leaf and stem
or stalk growth, but very notice
able lack of seed production? II
means lack of phosphates in the soil
but not any lack of nitrogen. II
would be folly for him to buy fer
tilizer containing nitrogen for such
condition, at the present cost of nitro
gen. Let him buy only what Is
needed in this case, some fertilizer
containing phosrnorOus largely, suct
as steamed bone meal, or acid phos
phate.
If he has good color and good lea

the grain falls down or lodges easily
there is need for both PHOSPHORUS
and potash. Let him buy then onl.
phosphorous and potash, any numbe
of combinations Of which he may fin'
on the market, or he may buy tn
separate ingredients and mix then
himself.
II the indications are that each ele
ment is lacking in his soil, then h
may buy mixed fertilizers containing
all three elements, in all sorts OF pre-
portions. If he does not know wha
proportions to buy, let him write hi
