 Thousand. 



Phosphoric acid, .70 



Potassium oxide, . 2.90 



Nitrogen, 2.10 



The relative proportion of ])hosphoric acid, potassium 

 oxide and nitrogen present, according to tliis analysis, 

 is : — 



Parts per 

 Thousand. 



Phosphoric acid, 1 . 00 



Potassium oxide, 4.10 



Nitrogen, .3.00 



In other words, for every pound of j)hosphoric acid re- 

 moved from the soil by a crop of i)otatoes there are 4.1 

 pounds of potassium oxide and 3 pounds of nitrogen re- 

 moved. A fertilizer supplying the essential elements of 

 plant food in this proportion would, therefore, under the 

 above-stated conditions, be more suitable to use, as far as 

 potassium oxide and phosphoric acid are concerned, as these 

 elements are supplied only b}' the soil, while nitrogen is 

 supplied in part by atmospheric sources.
