Suitable Fertilizer mixtures For
Different Crops Raised Id. Person
Below are given suitable ferti
lizer mixtures, each for corn, small
grains, tobacco, Irish potatoes, a
dapted vegetables, melons, legumes,
sweet potatoes and strawberries
when grown on soils of average
fertility in this county.
It must be recognized that any ar
ticle of this type covers general or
average conditions, and that there
fcnay be special conditions under
which a somewhat different analy
sis of the mixtures would be more
profitable. For example, if the sail
is above the average in production,
the precentage of nitrogen in the
mixture might well be decreased,
the reduction advisable usually be
ing in proportion to the amount of
organic matter in the soil.
The materials used in the mix
tures are those with which the
farmers are familiar, and which
may be purchased on almost any
local market. There are many other
good materials that might have been
included in these calculations, but
because of the lack of space, they
have been omitted.
FOR CORN SMALL GRAINS AND
GRASSES
On sandy loams, silt loams and
clay loam soils use a 4-10-4 for
mula which can be made from the
following materials:
Superphosphate, 16% ... .12141155.
Cotton seed meal 2081 b
Sulphate of Ammonia 3301 b
Muriate of potash 1531b5.

FOR TOBACCO AND MELONS
The fertilizer used in the produc
tion of bright flue-cured tobacco
is an important factor. The average
tobacco shbuld be( fertilized with
800 to 1000 pounds per acre of 3-
8-5 tobacco fertilizer. The nitrogen
should be majde from one-fourth
nitrate nitrogen, one-fourth
ammonium nitrogen, one-fourth or
ganic nitrogen such as blood, tank
age or fish, the phosphate derived
from 16 per cent superphosphate or
the equivalent. The potash should
be derived from sulphate, muriate or
sulphate of To

ber of minor elements which are es
sential but they are carried in the
materials mentioned above. On soils
where tobacco normally grows too
large, even w.ith a reduced appli
cation of the above mixture, the ni
trogen should be reduced in the
mixture; or even left out in ex
treme cases. Potash of the sulphate
form should be increased in the
above formula whenever the tips of

it is recommended that about two

For tobacco, it is recommended
that cotton seed meal be used in all

may be made from the following:
