R. F. D. No..........State.... L. The Potash Situation By Dr. A. M. Soule. 52, KJS* than one-fourth m.m the foim of muriate. was in the form of kainit, and placed more • exportation in of potash by the Ger¬ As a result of the embargo on the of this material in man government, it lias been impossible to obtain any considerable quantity for some months past. Hence, the farmers of the south who have been the chief users of potash for agricultural without purposes being able are face to face with the problem of raising another crop previously to obtain any of this 'material from the source on which they have depended. It has been said that potash could be obtained from local sources to a considerable extent, which Is true, and the naturally demand all for or potash these in sources should be utilized In so far as practical, but com¬ merce is so great that the price of the product available from most sources has reached a prohibitive figure so far as the farmer is concerned. Potash In Cotton Seed Meal without potash Must the farmer, therefore, attempt to raise his crops any whatsoever during the present yea?, or are there some local supplies on which he can depend with advantage and profit? A review of the situation showB that there is some potash in tobacco stems, and, of course, wood ashes contain a small amount of this material. No doubt, farmers will gladly utilize these sources of supply in so far as they can. In addition, there is the potash contained in cotton seed meal, a product manufactured In large quantities in every southern state, and which contains not only a large amount of nitrogen and a fair amount of phosphoric acid, but a very consid¬ erable amount of potash as well. On this account cotton seed meal becomes exceedingly valuable to the southern farmer as a fertilizing constituent the present year, for it is a well-known fact that manv of the soils In the South Atlantic states are low in this element. Particularly which is this true used of for those the soils which contain a considerable amount of sand or are demand production of truck or garden crops which naturally taake a heavy ^^examination of the approximately record shows, 141.2 for instance, pounds of that nitrogen, a ton 53.4 of pounds choice cotton seed meal contains of potash. Hence, if 1,000 pounds of of phosphoric acid and 36.2 with pounds 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate, a very good cotton seed taeal be mixed be obtained, and formula pro¬ fertilizer for many of our staple crops of potash, can important point a to bear la vided which carries one per cent an mind in view of the scarcity and high price of this material. Plant Food Value Of $38.17 utilize cotton seed There are some who are wondering whether they time. can It would meal or not because of its high price at the present appear, however, that available nitrogen from almost any of the standard sources will cost this year between 18 and 20 cents a pound. Presuming that it does cost 20 cents a pound, the nitrogen in a ton of choice cotton seed meal would be worth $28.24. If acid phosphate cost $16.00 a ton, the available phosphoric acid in it is worth 5 cents a pound. Therefore the amount or this element In a ton of choice cotton seed meal is worth $2.67. Allowing 20 cents a pound for available potash, the amount of this element in a ton of choice cotton seed meal would be worth $7.26. In Other words, the phosphoric acid and potash contained would be worth $9.93, making the plant food constituents on this basis in a ton of choice cotton seed meal worthf $307-6 ^ majr be argue( potash i equal by some in that 20 respect cents is to too that touch contained to allow la for potash, but available every this figure. There¬ cotton seed meal can probably not be bought for less than fore, it seems only just that the meal should be credited with the potash it contains at approximately the price which available the plant potash food contained of this character would bring at the present time. Of course, utilized by In cotton seed meal becomes readliy available, and so can be plants to advantage, and in view' of the large amount of this material which is manufactured in the South, it should be conserved with the greatest care and utilized so as to make it of the greatest possible service in crop pro¬ duction during the present year. Of course, the meal should normally of the be fed, but where this cannot be done, it must still potash be regarded for the as one best and most economical sources for providing crops we ex¬ pect to raise this year. ... Not Appreciated . . . Potash Value have been clearly and It is difficult to understand why these facts not as fully recognized by our farmers as they should have been. Even during the past year large quantities of cotton seed meal have been shipped abroad and into the northern and western states where well. it is Especially prized not has only the for fertil¬ its feeding value, but for its fertilizing value as izing value or this product been recognized in foreign countries, and through the use of cotton seed meal and the proper conservation of the resulting droppings the farmers of Denmark, and to some considerable extent of Hol¬ land, England and Germany, have been able to build up their soils and make them productive, though originally they could only have been regarded as of an inferior character from the standpoint of an agriculturist. While the amount of potash contained in cotton seed meal will not enable the farmers to use nearly as much of this element as they previously applied, it is well to remember that “half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. Conciderabie Benefit To Be Derived A specie: effort should, therefore, be made to supply as much of this ele¬ ment as practicable under conditions where its use who must will be regarded the as most desirable and essential. There may be some consider ten to twenty pounds of potash which it may be possible small to apply per acre to through the judicious use of cotton seed meal so an amount as exert no appreciable influence on the crop. Naturally, the soil and the crop do con¬ stitute important factors, but on many of our soils, even those which seem to be fairly well supplied with potash, considerable benefit has been obtained from using moderate amounts of this element in ihe past, and wherever this happens to be anything like the limiting factor in crop production, tho addition to ten or twenty pounds per acre becomes a matter of very great importance to the farmer, and will certainly favorably influence the yield obtained from his land.
