SUMMARY OF INCREASED YIELDS. F° od f for 



Plants 



From an Application of 100 Pounds per Acre of Nitrate of Soda. 



It should be pointed out that in the recorded experi- 

 ments with Nitrate of Soda on money crops heretofore 



published .in Experiment Station re- . . _. ,

ports and bulletins, farm products Farm p ro ducts. 



were much lower in price. The prices 

 of agricultural products have risen to a high water 

 mark, and in certain cases the advance has been to 

 extreme figures, and all farm commodities are now 

 higher than they have been for some years. Our state- 

 ments heretofore published, showing the profit resulting 

 from the crop increases due to the use of . 



Nitrate of Soda, if rearranged on a basis p r ofi? Greater, 

 of present values for crops, would show 

 more profit than before. It should also be remarked that 

 the prices of other ammoniates have other Ammo- 

 risen higher than Nitrate of Soda, and ma tes Higher 

 it is, as heretofore, the cheapest of all than Nitrate, 

 ammoniates in the market. Probable 



Economists of authority tell us that Stability of 

 ., a t • . p x 1 arm values, 



the cost ol living is to remain lor a 



considerable time on the high basis now established, so 



that it is to be expected that the prices of agricultural 



products will remain at a high level. 



In this connection your attention is called to many 

 experiments with fertilizers in which 

 Nitrate of Soda is said to have been Good Results 

 used in order to produce results to be Due to Nitrate, 

 exploited as due to materials other than 

 this standard money crop producer. 



Further, one may add, that when g^er Acre 

 Nitrate is used at the rate of 100 pounds and p ^ r Ton 

 per acre, the actual cash increase in f Fertilizer. 

 Fertilizer cost per acre is very small. 



The highest agricultural authori- 

 ties have established by careful experi- ^J^or 

 mentation that 100 pounds of Nitrate of Crops 

 Soda applied to the crops quoted Rise m p r i ce f 

 has produced increased yields as tabu- Farm Products,
