(B) Leguminous Plants. 



No nitrogen, except in some cases a slight top dressing with 

 nitrate of soda, but phosphoric acid and potash (kali) in abund- 

 ance. Therefore for all leguminous plants, clover species, etc. : 

 From joo to 400 Ibs. of acid phosphate at 14% available phos- 

 phoric acid per acre; 500 to 600 Ibs. of kainit at 12^ % K 2 O per 

 acre. These quantities are very apt to secure a very paying 

 result. 



(C) Tobacco, per acre. 



250 pounds acid phosphate at 14% available phosphoric acid. 

 150 pounds sulph. of potash (kali) at about 50 # K 2 O. 

 125 pounds nitrate of soda. 



(D) Hemp, etc., per acre. 



250-275 Ibs. of acid phosphate at 14% available. 

 125-250 Ibs. of nitrate of soda. 

 350-500 Ibs. of kainit. 



Fleischmann and Nessler emphasize the good effect of kainit 

 upon these crops. 



(E) Potatoes, beets, etc. 



This class of plants require very large amounts of potash 

 (kali), yet direct fertilization with potash (kali) salts is not 

 advantageous. It should be put into the ground with the pre- 

 ceding crop, and only phosphoric acid and nitrogen be directly 

 applied. 



For potatoes apply 125-250 Ibs. nitrate of soda, 



100-200 Ibs. 14% acid phospate, 



nearly the same quantity for beets, only for these more phos- 

 phoric acid. 



(F) Meadoivs. 



Apply from 600-700 Ibs. of kainit at i2 I />% K 2 O. 



250-350 Ibs. acid phosphate at 14% avail. 

 These figures were given by Dr. Stutzer before the peculiar 

 effect of the potash (kali) salts had been known, and compared
