If > on | propose to use a very small, amount to- the aero, and it is uu oak or hickory soil, you might ! safely leave out the potash. Hut in all cases where it is intended to apply a liberal amount it is better to have a complete fertilizer. Wo so adviso in this case and would apply 500 to GOO pounds of the formula to the acre, and get one bale, or mor?, per acre. It is better, as a rule, to apply 500 to 000 pounds to the acre on ton acres than 200 to 300! pounds to the aero on twenty acros. The ten acres (of your soil) so fertilized would probably produce ten bales; while twenty j acres of the same soil with only ( half as much fertilizer would t probably yield no more than fifteen bales.?Atlanta Oonstitu-' tion.
