Fertilizer Materials ■ ,'A Continued. Cotton seed meal, blood, tankage, etc., which I have deatribed to you in the last letter, are known as “or ganic” sources ol ammonia, or rather of nitrogen. Habit is so strong, you see, ft is hard to get rid of the use of that word ammonia. Nitrogen is much the better term for oiir use. Be- aides the organic sources of nitrogen we also have what are known as the "inorganic sources. I have explained in a previous letter fffily the meaning of these two terms, but lest you may have forgotten, I will stop a moment to say that an organic substance may be either vegetable or animal, thus a leaf, a seed, piece of meat or of skin ai*e organic substances. An inorganic substance is the opposite of these, and is mineral in its nature, a piece of rock or of iron is inorganic. Tlje dhiefc inorganic source of nitrogen, then, is nitrate of soda, also commonly called "Chili Saltpetre;” saltpetre be cause it has many of the properties of real saltpetre, which is nitrate of pot ash and Chili because it is imported from Chili in South America. Nitrate of potash or true saltpetre is a very valuable fertilizing compound, yielding both nitrogen and potash to the plant, but it is much too expensive to buy in this form; it is, therefore, better, or, rather, cheaper to buy ni trate of soda and muriate of potash separately, and then mix them to gether, when we will accomplish prac tically the same results from a fertil izing standpoint, and for a smaller out lay of money, than if wo bought the same elements in form of nitrate of potash. Nitrate of soda is such an important salt for fertilizer purposes that I will go into some littled etail about it. The entire supply at present comes from the western coast of Chili. It ex tends in a narrow strip -of land run ning north and south for about 260 miles, at an average distance of about 14 miles from the ocean. The country where it is found is a desert, It never rains there and the whole region Is bare of vegetation and destitute of water. The nitrate rock is call "ca liche” (pronounced Ca-lee-chay) and the best quality has the following com position: Sodium nitrate, 50 per cent, sodium chloride 26 per cent,, sodium sulphate 6 per cent, magnesium sulphate 3 per cent, insoluble matter 14 per cent, so dium iodate, sodium nitrite, magnesi um chloride, magnesium nitrate, pota*. slum chloride 1 per oent making the Whole. The average quality of "caliche” con tains from 30 to 40 per cent of sodium nitrate, and the poorest quality worked ranges from 17 to 30 per cent sodium nitrate. The "caliche” occurs from 6 to 10 feet below the surface of the ground, and the vein or stratum va ries from a foot and a half to twelve feet in thickness. The process of extracting and sepa rating the valuable nitrate of soda from the rest ow the "caliche” is done by means of water in which the ni trate of soda disolves, and from which it is crystallized. A description ol the process would he tedious. Suf fice It to say that a costly plant is re quired for the purpose, and that the work is so well done that the product •when finished contains about 95 per cent nitrate of soda, which is equiva- lent to 15.66 per cent of nitrogen, or 19 per cent of ainxuonia. .an enor mous and annually increasing amount is shipped every year. The amount exported every year to Europe and America is about one million tons. Method of Use. The material has a great number of uses besides its use as a fertilizer. It te in the manufacture of nitrate of potash, which is needed to make gun powder and fireworks; it is also used to make nitric acid, is an essential in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, up on which tne whole superphosphate or avoid phosphate industry depends, be tides a great many other manufactur ing processes. Its great importance as a fertilizer depends upon its high percentage of nitrogen and its com plete solubility in water, thus being immediately available as plant food, the nitrogent in it being already in the form of a nitrate, the form in which plants prefer to take most of their nitrogen. The nitrate of soda being readily and freely soluble in water, is ready for appropriation as plant food; as soon as it put into the soil. Hence is evident that the best way to use it is by application , as a top dressing immediately before or after a rai n, usually in the spring, when the plant is up and need* a good send-off to do- velop growth of Stalk and foliage. Used in this way, the results are very sure very striking. Sulphate of Ammonia. One other Important inorganic source of nitrogen is the Balt known &s sulphate of ammonia* . It is pr> duced’ cjiiefly as a by-^c^uct in. the manufacture of. illuminating gas fro®, eoal; the gas coals all contain a small percentage of nitrogen; when subject- ed 1 to dry distillation In retorts, the ni trogen is driven off in the form of am monia gas, and is finally absorbed in sulphuric acid, from which it is crys tallized as sulphate of ammonia. This product usually contains about 20& per cent of nitrogen, when purified, but if sold unpurified as brown sul phate of ammonia* it may not contain more than 18 per cent of nitrogen. Sul phate of ammonia Is freely soluble in water, and has this advantage over nitrate of soda, that it does not leach out of the soll So readily, as nitrate of soda does, and- may therefore be ap plied with other fertilizers in the fall to fall crops without fear of serious loss through leaching during the fall and winter. I have not mentioned all of the various kinds of nitrogenous fertilizer materials, but Save sketched nearly all of the commercial fertilizer* materials the commercial fertilizers Bold in the State of Georgia are made. The next great clots of fertilizer ma terial we discuss will be the "phos- phatea.” John M. McClandless. Discouraging to Genius. . A North Georgia farmer who was possessed of some means entered the office of his county paper and asked for the editor. The farmer was accompanied by his son, a youth of seventeen years, and as soon as the editor, who was in his secret sanctum, was informed that his visitors were not bill col lectors be came forward and shook bands. "I came to get some information,” said the farmer. "Certainly,” said the editor, "and you came to the right place, Be seated.” The farmer sat on one end of the table, while his son sat on the floor. "This boy o’ mine,” he saifl r "wauts to go into the literary bus iness, and I thought you’d know whether there’s money in it or not. It’s a good business, ain’t it?” "Why, yes,” said the editor after some little hesitation, "I’ve been in it myself for fifteen years, and see where I’ve got to.” The farmer eyed him from head to foot, glanced around the poorly furnished office, surveyed the editor once more, then, turning to his son, who was still on the floor, said: "Git up, John, and go home and go back ter plowin’!”—Atlanta Con stitution.
