FERTILIZERS FOR CORN. 



We are frequently asked to formulate a fertilizer for corn. 

 It should be remembered that the demands of the crop for artificial 

 fertilizers cannot be the same for all cases. They will depend upon : 



(1) The soil — its character, the amount of organic matter it 

 contains, its tilth. 



(2) The system of cropping that has been followed upon the 

 soil; whether a rotation has been followed, or whether a con- 

 tinuous grain cropping process has been followed. 



(3) The place occupied by the corn crop in the rotation. 



A careful study of the following statements may make the matter 

 of fertilizers more clear.
