A careful study of Table B teaches the following lessons. 

 The trade name of a fertilizer is a poor criterion in ascertain- 

 ing the efficienc}'" of a fertilizer. Many farmers depend too 

 much on trade names in making their selection of fertilizers. 

 With the great variety of fertilizers now found upon the 

 market, it becomes no easy matter for the average farmer to 

 make an intelligent and judicious selection of his fertilizers, 

 unless he is in possession and makes use of the fertilizer 

 bulletins which are issued from time to time. In makins: a 

 selection of a fertilizer for growing special crops, the needs 

 of the soil and the requirements of the crop should receive 

 careful consideration, and a fertilizer should be selected 

 which will supply the wants of the soil in the most suitable 

 and economical manner. In deciding what brands of fertil- 

 izers to purchase for general use, it is self-evident that those 

 fertilizers should be selected which furnish the greatest 

 amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in a suit- 

 able and available form for the same money.
