HOW TO CALCULATE FERTILIZER FORMULAS Explained in Interesting Letter From Clemson College IS LITTLF. UNDERSTOOD Hence This Valuable Information is Published Here for the Good it Will do Farmers. Clemson College, Jan. 30.?Caleulat ing a fertilizer formula is a hard task for any one who does not understand certain principles on which the calculations are based and a very simple task for one who has learned these few rules. Home-mixing' of fertilizers which was strongly urged by Clemson College last year, with good results, will be even more strongly urged this spring. T. E. Keitt, chemist of the South Carolina Experiment Station at Clemson College, has prepared a brief circular which will instruct any farmer how to calculate his formula for home mixing and this circular is to be had by writing to the extension division of Clemson College. Prof. Keitt writes in part: "In calculating fertilizer formulas, a unit is one per cent of a ton, and as there are twenty hundred pounds in a ton, there are always twenty pounds in a unit. When we speak of a fcrtizer formula such as "8-4-4," we mean tUnt fiwu.,. ;..K? ?:--- -> s*" UUU UIVIC till1 rjj^iu UHIltS VI 1UU pounds of actual phosphoric acid, nitrogen equivalent to four units or 80 pounds of ammonia, and potish equivalent to four units or eighty pounds ot potash. (The order of elements in naming formulas is always Phosphorus N i t rogc n-Potash.) "In home-mixing1 fertilizer it is advisable to have two sources of amnion ia. one rapidly available, which can be derived from nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia or dried blood. Twothirds of the ammonia should be procured from a gradually available source, as cottonseed meal, fish or tankage. "It pays to buy high-grade acid phosphate, and muriate of potash is the most economical source of potash for general farm crops, but should not be used on tobacco or potatoes. "Suppose we desire to make a formula that will analyze 8-4-4 from 16 per cent, acid; two sources of ammonia. IS nor cent, nitrate of soda and 7 per cent, cottonseed meal; and 48 per cent, muriate of potash. "One-third of 80 pounds of ammonia (four units) is 27 pounds, to he derived from nitrate of soda. Each 100 pounds of nitrate of soda contains nitrogen euivalent to 18 pounds of ammonia. Therefore, if we divide 27, the number of pounds of ammonia desired, by 18, the number of pounds in each 100 of nitrate of soda, we get 1.5, the number of hundreds of pounds of nitrate of soda required to furnish 27 pounds of ammonia; that is to say 150 pounds of nitrate of soda. "This leaves 53 pounds of ammonia to bo derived from cottonseed meal, each 100 pounds of which contains 7 pounds of ammonia. Calculating similarly, we have 53 divided by 7, getting as an answer 757 pounds of coton seed meal. "In addition to its nitrogen equivalent-to-ammonia content, cotton-seed meal contains 2 per cent, of available phosphoric acid and 1 1-2 per cent, of water-soluble potash. Therefore, 757 pounds of cottonseed will furnish, in addition to ammonia, 15 pounds of phosphoric acid and 11 pounds of water-soluble potash. "Our mixture was to contain 100 pounds of phosphoric acid (8 units), but 15 pounds are contained in the cot tonseed meal, leaving 145 pounds to be derived from 10 per cent, acid phosphate. Then 145 divided by 10 equals 9.00 hundred pounds or 900 pounds of 10 per cent; acid. 0 New Projectile. Washington, Jan. 28.?Tests of a new submarine projectile, which fired at a range of from 6,000 to 10,000 yards, will explode under the bottom of a battleship, were conducted late yesterday at a secluded sight in the Potomac and members of a congressional and naval party which returned today were preparing to press for an i appropriation for further experiments One of the three shells fired at 10,000 yards exploded successfully, while two others at that distance failed. Fifteen shots were made in all. TOWN TAXES.

We mourn for him, yet he is at rest. Little Walker Roswell Parker was 2 years and 9 months and 7 days old, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Parker. He was taken suddenly ill with typhoid fever on December -1th, 1914 and suffered every hour what no tongue can express until December 17 at 0 o'clock in the afternood when God saw that it was good that He should relieve his hard suffering and sent His great host of shining angels to carry him home. Buddie died at his grand-parents' home, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Chestnut, where he had so loved to go. He was such a bright little boy, and we miss the noise of his little feet and tongue, but he is a bright shinning little angel in glory, and some time we shall see him again, and he will be the same lit tie one that we all loved so dearly. God wants the fairest flowers. His remains were laid to rest the following day at Hickory Grove cemetery May God help father and mother and all that was dear to him to prepare to meet him with Jesus some sweet day. At the gate there stands a little Angel, Dressed in garments white as snow It is our little Wilber Watching for papa and mama to go His loving aunt Rookie. Announces Policy.
