What a Good Cotton Fertilizer
Should Contain.
The Progressive Farmer.
The most important point to
be considered is to secure the
proper materials for fertilizers
at the lowest prices. The ready
mixed commercial fertilizers
sold throughout the South are
generally of good quality and
reasonably well adapted for the
purpose for which they are offered
for sale. There are some
farmers, it is true (and it?s a
pity), who seem to care but lit
tie about the composition of the
"guano," or even its price, if not
to be paid for until "next fall."
The e will continue to buy the
ready mixed guanos. Others
will also buy these ready made
goods, and buy judiciously and
wisely, and use them profitably.
But, as a rule, farmers would do
well to buy the raw materials
and do their own mixing.
Any intelligent farmer, if he
knows what materials to buy,
and in what proportions to mix
them, can make a good aud a
much better balanced fertilizer
than the majority of brands on
the market.
A fertilizer for cotton, according
to the results of experiments
repeated on our station for eight
years past, should contain three
and one-third parts of available
phosphoric acid to one part potash
and one part nitrogen. To
state it in a more popular way,
for use on average Middle Geoigia
soils, cotton being the crop,
a fertilizer that contains 10 per
cent ot available phosphoric acid
should have about 3 per cent ot
nitrogen. Or, if it contains only
8 per cent of available phosphoric
acid, it should not contain at
the same time more than 2.40
per cent each of potash and nitrogen.
Su then the ordinary
8-2-2 goods do not contain
enough of potash and nitrogen
by 00 per cent of each. I have
habitually recommended for the
old worn uplands of Middle
Georgia, the following fertilizer
formula for cotton :
Acid phosphate (14 per
cent 1,000 lbs
Muriate of potash 75 lbs.
Cotton meal 700 lbs.
Total 1,775 lbs.
The above wouM analyze about
as follows :
Available phosphoric acid .Q.S7
Potash 2 70
Nitrogen (equal to ammonia
U 2S) 2.70

kainit in ty be substituted for
muriate and dried blood for cotton
meal, taking care to use su :h
quantities of each ai? will supply
the same number of pound oi
it valu >ble ingredient.
On well improved soils or
comparatively new lauds, or
dark loamy b t om lands, (lie
cotton meal may bo profitably

upon on such soils it may often occur
that an appbc ition of simple
acid phosph do alone would
give a hotter financial 10 urn
than a more complete fertiiiz -r.
