The-First of a Serias of Six Articles. ^ We would ndt be disposed to try tq rfve a complete history of the use of commercial fertllliers, but only to show how this great Industry began and grew in the Southern Unit%l States. Generally speaking, the farmers of this generation inhe’rited the habit of applying fertilizers to soils, but have not been taught the underlying principles of the industry. The use of^seme kind of manures on soils with crops for the purpose of In creasing tha* yields goes back to ancient times. We know that many ancient people applied animal manures to their soflt for this purpose. The Chinese, centuries ago, applied, manures of various kjuris to their aflils and, gardens And with phenomenal results. In Von Tshudi’s Travels in Peru we find that as early as the middle of the last century notea were- being taken on the actual ■'alue of Guano by the Peruvians. ‘ ’ ‘ Bousingault speaks of seeing fields in Peru on which wheat grew every rear for two centuries, and the yield still high and the growers prosperous. The practice of using mineral fertilizers was introduced direct from Pe- fu to the United States in the year 1846, and was based on such reports as we find shove. It had already been used in England before it found Its way into the United States, but Peru seems to be the country in which the application of minerals to soils as plant food originated. We do not know this is true, but all evidence points to. this. It is of greater interest to us therefore that we know about > the customs in Peru./ The First Use of Peruvian Guano. The first man in the Southern States to use this Peruvian guano was David Dickson, of Sparta, Ga., who saw an advertisement of it in the old Ameri- effn- Farmer published in* Baltimore. The South has perhaps never had a more successful farmer than David Dixon, who made many millions of dollars farming, and who was a pioneer in many other lines as well as in the use of mineral fertilizers. In the year 1846, the year after it was intro duced into the United States, he bought three sacks and used it, and on find-, ing that it paid him, bought’ it in incuasing quantities till the year 1856 and 1856, when he “went into it fully™ As is suggested above this is no doubt the first instance of the use of a concentrated mineral fertilizer on cotton in the United States^ The universal success with which Mr. Dickson met in the use of this Pe ruvian guano led many other prominent farmers to follow his example, and in every reported case, success followed its use. We are constrained to believe that the application of this mineral fertiliser to the cotton and other crops in the South could not possibly have been an acci dent. Its success was unquestionably based on the actual needs of the soil. A quickly available manure was what the crop needed, and when this was once applied results were evident. After a time it was found that the Peruvian guano, which contained prin cipally nitrogen, produced too much stalk and not much increase In the yield of fruit, and hence Its use was somewhat discouraged for a season. The First Use of German Potash. About this time the war between the States began, and at the same time the discovery of the potash beds of Germany, also, the offertng on the market of various kinds of mineral fertilisers resulting from the teach ings of You Liebig of Uencany. who was at that time the greatest cham pion in the world of agriculture and Ita possibilities As a result the pop ularity of Peruvian guano «ubsided and more study was given to the gen eral question of the use ol mineral manure*, both by farmers themselves and the studeius of agriculture Two greet contributing factors jo the rise of the fertiliser trade In the South are first the abolition of slavery, and second, the rise of agricul tural education Before the war the quewtton of land was secondary If growing farm crops in the South "wore the land out,'* there were plenty of a laves to “take in mors land" It was cbeapor to take in land than to pay tor any artificial minors In IMS. tbs Morrill Bill passed Uongreas. creating agricultural college* la the various states, after which there be gan a campaign for Improving methods in agriculture Experiment* at pnbllc ex pease were begun on a small seal*, and the public was induced to make greater gse of plant foods of nil kinds, ns well as to improve methods of'ullage, iW of course, caused an immediate increase la the aae of min eral plant foods, and out of which grew demands for great quaatliiaa of fertilisers From this great demsmd there sprang up fertiliser factortee la nil parts of the country.

Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. De Leach, Director of Georg,• Experiment fitatisn. L INTELLIGENT USE OF FERTILIZER* IN GERMANY. The Second sf a Sense sf fits Artlelea. All state IsyJtution* have fostered t%e fertiliser trade stars its ortgla In lbs early Sltie - State organ laat ions of tall kinds have taken a lively pa11 in the bu.iding up of the trade, and In later years lb# states have taken It for granted that the trade Is profitable to farmer* aad merchants alike, and have therefore framed law* to regulate Its manufacture and sale • la every state where fertiliser Is sold In appreciable quanUtles laws have been paused exacting certain requirement* of the manufacturer, as to analyses, grades, etc. Besides the trade, over ambitious, might forget ita obligation to the consumer and offer for kale Inferiot material under the name of fer tilisers. We may say without fear of successful contradiction that the atates themselve* are largely reaponMbla for tbo rise and volume of tbs fertiliser trade. it has long been recognized that Germany leads the world In many lines of science. This Is pet hap* true in regard to the use of fertilizers in early years. Germany discovered that mineral salts applied to growing crops increased the yields immensely, and gave time and study to the under lying causes, and has suaKested to the oilier parts of the world many valu able lessons on her fgnlings. Von Liebig, through his studies and lec tures on modern agriculture, has made known much of the work of Germany in the early ’history of the use of commercial fertilizers. Liebig says that Kuhlraan, a German agricultural scientist, applied salammonlac to a meadow in the yeawT^45 and 1846, and found that on a hectare (2\4 sores) be gath ered 8,140 pounds of hay more than on the same kind of meadow where he did not use the salamraoniac. He apeured this result by using about 200 pounds of salammonlac to the acre. In commenting upon this Von Liebig has the following to say: “It la quite certain, that in the action of the guano, which produced the crop next< highest after the Chili saltpeter, an unmistakable part was played by the ammonia contained in it. On the other hand, however, the experiments w ith carbonate and nitrate,of ammonia show that a quantity of ammonia, or nitrogen, equivalent to that in 20 pounds of guano and employed under the same conditioris, was almost without effect.’’ Fertilizer Experiments In Germany. A little further along he saysx; “The most recent observations on the comport ment of the soil towards the food of plants show how slight is the knowledge we possess of their’mode of nourishment, and of the part which the soil, by its physical condition, plays in it % The comportment of the salts of ammonia, of chloride of sodium, and of nitrate of .soda, towards the earthly phosphates in the soil, may perhaps assist us in throwing some light on their action, or one of their actions, on the growth of plants." This statement was made because it was always found that when common salt was added to certain mineral manures, greater yield was obtained, and Von Liebig came to the conclusion that this was due to the relation of this added material to the liberation of potash in the soils. Only a short time after the war between the states the German pot ash beds were discovered and by rapid leaps and bounds this material gained in favor with planters as well as experimenter*. The necessity for find ing a combination to liberate the potash in the soils was now removed and thorough satisfaction was found in the use of the nitrate of soda and the potash salts, and here the Industry stood -for a long time. Liebig doea claim, however, that Tribasic phosphate of lime crept into the formula and was found efficient. This fact 4s very significant and happened 4o be dia^ covered by a constant study of the use of the nitrate of soda and potash salts. Liebig thought that these two plant* food material* had the power of dissolving phosphoric acid in the form of earthly phosphates, and these In turn added greatly to the yield of farm crops. , Oarma*>y*a Crop Yield* Greater Than Other Nation*. We have here many hints of what afterwards really developed to be facts—namely that the three great elements of plant food that should be applied to tbe soil for good crop yields are phosphoric acid, ammonia and , pou*h Fur many years these three element* have been tbe e*xenUal ‘ elements of plant food in a fertilizer formula 1 7 ■ I " • • • . .. nr*!
