It crop, and the aeaaoag. It Is the practical result obtained la applying the fertilisers. Tfce two value* be he aha* the ?M J| the average they probably ate aboBv the same, but the Individual farmer who gives careful personal attention to his vtalues will be able to make tonslderable difference In hlii results by studying the underlying principles. The Chemical Ingredients which are recogn'ized as imparting commercial value to fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphcrrlc acid and potash. 'Ahere Is but owe source of phosphoric .acid which te at all practical and which Is made "Use of In the manufacture or dertllUers In the Bouth. This Is acHd phosphate, which is made by treating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. The most ordinary sovjree of potash is kalnit, which Is mined In Cermpgy. Thlt * a "* ?v ruvsiiuviiv nuiu ana me posyin, "Which are derived from these sourcds, ore about the same In their results on crops as the phosphoric acid and pot ash derived from any other sounses, but the sources of nltnpgeri are auOVerous. This Is the mosti Important fcnd expensive Ingredient In fertilizers. The commercial valU^ of fertilizers, "based on the analysis of the contained nitrogen, Is reckoned Just the same bo matter from what source the nitrogen Is obtained, and this faot Is apt to mislead the farmer In his estimate of the kinds of fertilizer to use for certain crops. For example: a fertilizer containing nitrate of soda contains a splemdld form of nitrogen* and one whlteh Is very soluble; therefore, it Is very good for early vegetubleh and quick growing crops, but It 9s entirely too soluble for use In the cotton trep. The cotton plant Is of slow growth and needs to have Its food supplied throughout a "ong Interval. A fertiliser contain',ig cotton seed tfieai, having thfe same amount of nitrogen as another fertilizer made of ndtrate of soda or any other source of nitrogen. Is much more valuable to ttao cotton plant* even at the same commercial value, than any other kind of fertilizer. The nitrogen In cotton seed meaf is all soluble, but It requires some tl me to be put into complete solution. This Is exactly what slow-growing crops- like cotton and corn require, therefore. It is Important for farmers In the purchase of fertilizer to specify that dhls fertilizer Is made with cotton swed mead, rather than other chemicals u?ed as a source of nitrogen (or, what Is t)M same thing, the source of ammonia.) SA.U fertilizers containing nitrogen Id any form are generally known as ammonlated fertilizers. Let every farmer 1 bee to It that his fertilizers are ammonlated with cotton seed meal, and, ag he knows he can not get the meal t>o better advantage than from any of the local mills of the Southern Gotten Oil Company of the Carolln&s aM Georgia, <* through their bewtnuaMSra at Columbia, S.
