POTASH PRICES PROHIBITIVE. Fmnntrs May Br Forced to Cut Out Cue of Commercial Fertilizers. The price of potash in unmlxed forms is nimply prohibitive. Any one who has potash salts not mixed with other fertilizer materials can sell it at a price which makes it certain that it will not be used as a fertilizer 1 . There is considerable potash in mixed and that will be sold at a price still within the reach of fertilizer User§. Sut‘h potash as there is available will and should probably He largely used eson truck crops or tobaccur There is no substitute for potash so far as we can see, and we must ro on and make crops without it, depending pn the supplies- 11]^^/’in- the so.jl. There is probably abihe^accumulation from that applied.in t ( he past and this, where it exists, with that paturally in the soil, will have to be depended up* on for this year’s crop. West of Ala bama this will be no great loss, for it is doubtful if that used on general field crops is generally profitable, even when purchased at the usual prices. Nitrogen High-priced Too. Nitrogen, our greatest need for crop production, is also higher in price than usual, especially in certain gen e-rally used forms, such as in cotton- - seed meal. The increased difficulties and cost of shipping has also in creased the price of nitrate of soda and, probably also in all forms. The ques tion is, can the farmer who has found the use of nitrogen on his crops profi table in the past afford to use it this year? He cannot afford to . use it carelessly, and the high price merely adds another proof to the already demonstrated fact that'the good farm er will gather his nitrogen with le gumes and buy as little in commercial form as possible; but these facts have no heari% on the intelligent use of nitrogen on his crops this year, if by so doing his profits will be in creased. If he has not gathered the required nitrogen by growing legumes it is now too late to do so for the 1916 crops, and if the purchaser of worth of nitrogen, for instance will increase the value of his crop $4 to |6, as shown by his past experience, he should certainly buy the nitrogen, no matter if he has not done the right sort of farming in the past. The price of nit/ogen ia not yet too high to give a profit on its use in agriculture if used wisely ami conservatively as ahown by past experience. Again, if we had our soils as full of humus or decaying vegetable matter, as good farm practice demands, we could be independent of the use of acid phosphate, but could get our phos phoric acid from materiala in which it is less readily available for feeding crops. Hut again, it is too late to cor rect this error for the 1916 cropp, and we must dendy whether we shall use acid phosphate or get our heid phos- pha te from other sources. At present prices, on lamia fairly well supplied with humus, it may lie fairly assumed that it will lie wise to use finely ground phosphate rock, or Thomas phosphate or Iwsic slag, in stead of acid phosphate. But on most Southern soils it will still probably lie advisable to use acid phosphate although a pound of phosphorus in ncid phosphate may cost four or dive times as much as in the other forms. —The Progressive Farmer. • The Long Branch Philosopht* • ••••••••••a* • • .
