3 ROTHAMSTED EXPERIMENT STATION AND FERTILIZERS. •
The Third of a Serloa of Six ArticUo ^
Tie Koth&msted Experiment Station la In England, and noted for
the great work it ha« done along all'lines of agricultural work. It has
gone Into the laws of soil fertility, has been the first to discover many of
these laws, and has In all Its history been especially interested in working
out a plan of farm management by which soil fertility could be maintained
at mifUmum coat to the fanners.
The Rothamsted expcrtnranta began In the year 1837, When Sir JohU
Bennett Lawes beganTexperimerits on his private estate. He was a man
Who loved the soil and to experiment with it: Strange to say, he was a
fertilizer'manufacturer In a certain sense, as he early discovered a process
for transforming bone Into superphosphate by the use of sulphuric acid,
to»k out a patent far this In 1842,-and built an extensive business which
he managed for about thirty’ years. In 1843 he associated with him J. H.
Gilbert, and these two men for more than fifty years conducted* extensive
agricultural Investigations in regard to soils and fertilizers, and feeds and
feeding of domestic animals. In 1889 Sir John turned over hla, large estate,
which' had now grow n so important,'' and had become so well known In all
parts of the civilized world* to a board of directors, and endowed it with
half a million dollars.
Twenty Years Experiments on Same Plot*.
Among many other things that were done, experiments were conducted
with fertilizers, mineral salts, and many forms of ammoniates, also with
animal manures, to determine, just what soils needed to grow the most crops.
Kor this work plots of ground ’vere set aside, marked off and carefully
measured, and then planted to the crop with which the Investigator wished
to work. Small plots would be used for the different kinds of mineral and
animal manures, and Ip each series one plot would be left unfertilized
throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied the
different combinations of fertilizer*, etc. Careful reports were taken from
each end of these plots, and with Inte^stlng result* The same experiment*
were continued for twenty years and more.
Many experiments were conducted with hay. and acme of these with
.the following reaults: The plots that had no manure of any kind averaged
In twenty years. 2.383 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure
alone, 3,598 pounds, the plots with mineral manure and 400 pounds of am
monia salts, «,7U pounds of hky; those with mineral manure and 80u pounds
of ammonia salts, fi.726 pounds of hay; the plots which received the mineral
manure and nitrate of soda U.4U7 pounds of hay. Considering the Very low
cost of the fertilizers In comparison to the increased yields brought about by
their use, one coidd not fail to see the value of the manure salt*.
Larger Yields Ware Always Obtained
The Kothamaied station was Interested In the permanent Improvement of
land and the part plaved Jn this by the use of fertilizing materials. From the
many experlmt-nu tarried out. there was never a doubt of the wisdom of
applying plant food to the soil larger yields were always obtained, other
things being e«iue>. *nd the fertlllzail> n of the soils throughout England and
tier possessions recommended |r was decided to ascertain the effect* of
fertilizers on torn SAen plots wers treated as follows:

4. FERTILIZERS AND FIELD CROP*
Th« Fawrth af a Sana* af Six Articlaa
David ISckaon. after a Ufa of useful service to hla fallow-man and a
Ufa of succaa* a* a .farmer, bad the folio* log to say about the use of
guano; "I any that fanners tan 'make every acre of their land rich If they
will. Providence intended the siartb should lm rease In fertility as rapidly
as H does la popolattoa Every man that assists In remoylng this dor
mant guano, lying idle and useless on the iTiinrha Islands, and puts it In
circulation, creating therewith food and clothing. Is a benefactor to hls
kind. The country suffers for .want of a snare of the surplus fertilizing
material Reniova the deposit and apply to crops, and It will enrich tha
land."
"I commented to use guano In 1846. and gradually Increased tha use of
It until the present time, never having omitted to use It on ray crop*
excepting the last year of the war. when I could not obtain It. With tha
proper system of rotation of crops, and returning all tbe crops to the land,
except the lint of the cotton, land may be Improved with Peruvian guano
alone, but .not ao fast as wjien you combine with the soil all the ele
ments of the plants to be grpwn. Ammonia being necessary for all plants,
1 know of no crop that It would not benefit. It will pay tbe best upon
those crops that bring the most money—cotton being that crop in this sec
tion and tobacco In other sections.’’
It will be seen from the above that Mr. Dickson profited greatly by the
use of guano. He knew well the value of ammonia to growing crops, but
you will obaerve that he knew quite as well the value of other plant foods
to the crop. He got better yields when-he applied all the elements of plant
food than when he applied ammonia alone. Also observe tbit he considered
)t good business to apply fertilizer.- He was a business man as well as a
farmer, and knew all the keen points In the business world
Views of Another Millionaire Farmer.
The Hon. James M. Smith, another millionaire farmer of Georgia, who
died only a few weeks ago, had the following to say with reference to
the use of fertilizers on farm crops:
"The use of fertilizers -has become one of the most Important factors In
Southern agricultur.e. It is a powerful agency in producing an increased
yield—a thing we should desire and work ft>r. We certainly believe in the
use ot commercial fertilizers, but we also believe in the turning under ol
vegetable matter, the’sowing of legumes and the saving of all barnyard ma
nure. The up-to-date farmer will not consider one of these, but all fouf of
them, in trying to increase hls farm crops."
Each of these two farmers, who have done much to stimulate farm Im
provement. learned the value of fertilizers, but learned equally welljhe value
i
Stop
That Bad
Headache
of diversified farming. They would not decrease the use of fertilizer, but
■diversify more. They would have us use more fertilizers, so that we could
grow more plant* and vegetable mater, In turn plow this under, and In
this way Increase the fertility of our lands. The most effective farming of
today Involves these two great principles. Use fertilizers and diversify the
crops. Rotate and feed the plants, and you will increase your yields, be more
secure from plant dlseaaae, and bring your farm Into a high state of cultiva
tion.
Fut Back Plant Food I* the Soil.
\
If growling crops take plant food out of the soil and we do not plow un
der an amount equal to this, ot get it from some other source and apply It,
our land la sure to decrease In fertility and In valuq. This is a fact beyond
dispute. With moat of our caops we take from the fields a large amount of
nitrogen., phosphoric acid and potash, wh.ich never goes back to the place on
the farm from ^ence it came. We should see to It, then, that some kind of
plant food takfee Its place. In tne case of cotton, we sell the eeed, end with
them large amounts of nitrogen and other elements of plant food Very of
ten we burn the atalka. and tn this way take from the field much more*
valuable plant food It la auctdal polK-v for ua to remove from the soil more
plant food than we restore to the soil.
