An- dcr.son. Extension Agrono mist at Clemson University, and he says the reason is ver> simple — it is a matter of labor. Idquid fertilizer is handled by pumps. That is — it is pumped from freight cars to large nurse tanks and from there it goes to the distributors and the fields.

Far mers who have once used it ask for it qgfiin says Mr. Smith According to Smith, the phosphorus is completely so luble while in dry material.
