Acid phosphate, 4 parts, 



H. G. sulfate of potash, 1 part. 

 Nitrate of soda, 2 parts. 



Cyanamid, 2 parts. 



Tankage, 4 parts. 



This mixture will have about the following chemical com- 

 position: nitrogen 6.5%, phosphoric acid 8.8% and potash 3.8%. 

 It may be used in amounts varying from 1000 to 1600 pounds 

 per acre. 



It may be here again remarked that if only small areas are to 

 be fertilized it will probably be most satisfactory to buy a mixed 

 fertilizer of the desired composition. 



Whether fertilizer is to be used with manure 

 Application of the or alone it will be best in most cases to 

 Fertilizers apply the mixture broadcast just before 



setting the plants or sowing seed; though 

 in work upon a small scale it is probable that lesser amounts 

 of fertilizer can be made to give fairly satisfactory crops if a 

 part at least is reserved for application in wide circles about 

 the plants after they are set, to be worked in with the cultivator. 

 The harrow will sufficiently work under a broadcast application 

 of such mixtures as are recommended.
