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.
