Its success was uni.uc.e.iiaiably ha ed n the actual needs of the sv. A quickly available r.iiinu.e was what the crop needed, and when this wa once applied remits were evident. After a lime It was found lh.it the 'ominn ftuano, which contained prin cipally nitrncen, 'iroiliicr-d too much rlnlk and not much Incicase in th field of fruit, and hence lis use was somewhat discouraged for a season.

As a result thn pop ulariiy of Peruvian guano mbsided and mole study was given lo the gen eral queslion of the use ot mineral manures, bolh bjr farmers themselves1 and the students rf ucriciilltiro. Two great contributing factors to tho rise of the fertilizer trade In th South are first the abolition of slavery, and second, tbe rise of agricul tural education, lleforo the war the question of land was secondary. If growing tarm crops in the South "wore the land out," there were plenty of slaves lo "la'.ie In more Ihiid " It was cheaper lo lake in land thnn to pay for any nniiielal manure. In 1SI, the Morrill Bill passed Congress, creating agricultural colleges in the various slates, after which there be gan a campaign for improving methods in agriculture. Experiments at public expense were begun on a small scale, and the public was Induced to make greater use of plant foods of all kinds, as well as to improve methods' of tillage. This, of course, caused an Immediate Increase ln the use of min eral plant foods, and nut of which grow demands for great quantities of fertllizem. From this great demand there sprang up fertilizer fnclories in all parts .of the country. All kinds ot materials were tried out, son-.e was eood, and some was not, but much of bolh kinds used. The factories had no restrictions and many of them palmed off on the farmers anythlug tljat would smell strong and that could be puf In packs. This conditjon on ac count of slate laws did not last long. We begin the next article by giving a. rostjtt of Ihe plrt taken in tho rise of the trade by th states themselves, 1 Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. Dc Loach, Dtrcctar of Georflla Experiment S'atlon. 3. ROTHAWS1 ED EXPERIMENT 8TATI0N AND FERTILIZERS. The Third of a Series of Six Articles Tlie noll'.nxsted Kxperinicnt Station Is In England, and is noted Tor U. great woik it has done' along all lines of agricultural work. It has gone Into the laws of soil fertility, has boon the first to dice ver many of these laws, and has In all lis history teen especially Interested ln working out a p'au of farm management by which soil fertility could lo maintained t minimum Cost to the fanners. Tho Koihaniited experiments l e?an ln tho year 1837, when Sir John Bennett Lanes besan experiments on his private estate. 11c was a mart who loved the sail and lo experiment with it, Strnnge to say, he was a fertilizer monafiictiiter In a certain sense, as bo early discovered a process for tran.iforn.in? Lone into superphosphate by the use of su'phurle arid, tori; mt a patent for thin in 1' 12, and built an extensive business which he managed for al'out thirty year In l4J he associated ivltli htm .1. H. Gilbert, and these two men for mure than fifty years conducted extensive agriiull.iral investigations In regard to oollf and fertilisers, and feeds and feeding of domestic animals. In 1 SKS Sir John turned over his large estate, which had now grown so Important, and had become so well known ln all ports of the civilized world, to a beard of directors, and endowed it with half a million dollar?. Twenty Years Experiments on Sams Plots. Among many other things tiiat.wero done, experiments were conducted with fertilizers, minora) salts, and many forma of ammoniates, also with, animal manures, to dotermlno just what soils needed to grow tho most crops, For this work plots of ground wero ret nslde, marked off and carefully measured, and then planted to tho crop with which the Investlgotor wished to work. Small plots would be used for the different kinds of mineral and nlmal manures, and In each series one plot Would be left unfertilized throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied the' different combinations of fertilizers,' etc. Careful reports wero taken fron each end of these plots, and with Interesting results. Tho same experiments, were continued for twenty years and more. Man Experiments were conducted with hay, and some of these with, the following results: The plots that . had no manure of any kind averaged In twenty years, 2.3S3 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure ajone, 3,598 pounds; tho plots with mineral manure and 4.10 pounds of am, mcnla salts, 5.T11 pounds of hay; those with mineral manure and 800 pounds, of ammonia Salts, 6,720 pounds of hay; the plots whleh received the mineral manure and nitrate of soda 0,407 pounds of hay. Considering the very low cost of ihe fertilizers in comparison to tha increased yields brought about b their use, one could not fall to see the value of the manure salts, Larger Yields Were Alwayj Obtained. The Rotluunstad station was Interested ln the permanent Improvement ot land and the part played ln this by the uso of fertilizing materials. Yom the, many experiments carried oat, there was never a doubt of the wisdom of applying plant food to the soil. larger yields were always obtained, other tilings being equal, and the fertllizuticn of the soils throughout England and ter possessions recommended. It was decided to ascertala tho effects of fertilizers on corn. Seven plots were treated as follows: Plot 1. t'nmanured. Plot 2. Mixed mineral manure, son poundB sulphate of potash, 200 pounds Jmo 0ia' 100 v"'iaiB u'Pht magnesia, 350 pounds superphosphato Plot f Am,monia a't9. comprising 200 pounds sulphate ammonia and 200 pounds muriate of ammonia. .
