of the most popular formulas. Sec
ond, that it would be more econo
mical to increase the nitrogen and
potash in the soil through planting
leguminous plants and by crop ro
tation. Third, by knowing the needs
of the soil, the other necessary plant
food elements could be added by
making your own formulas, mixing
it yourself, ct by having your local
mixer make your formulas for you.
All of the nitrogen in the follow
ing formula can be obtained from
cottonseed meal:
Formula 8-2 8-0 (8-3-0)
16 percent Superphosphate 1,009
pounds.
7 percent Cottonseed Meal 800
pounds.
Lime 200 pounds.
Total (Ton) 2.000 pounds.
The following conclusion were
drawn. With the increasing interest
in soil analysis, soil erosion, and
crop rotation, that the method of
making formulas to better suit the
needs of different crops will tend to
displace the former custom of one
fertilizer formula being used for a11
types of soils and crops. This is cne
of the few instances where scientific
farming can be made practical at a
saving to the farmer instead of « n i
expense.
