when no manure is applied. When manure is used, we recom- 

 mend from 400 to 600 lbs. per acre applied in the hill or drill. 



Caution: Fertilizer should never be dropped in its clear 

 state in contact with seed, young roots, or green leaves. 



Special Crops 



We have not included directions for use on special crops, 

 such as Cotton, Rice, Peanuts, Citrus Fruits, Pineapples, 

 Sugar Cane, etc., as these crops are specialized and cultivated 

 only in sections where soil and climatic conditions are favorable. 

 Broadly, it may be said that the same general principles apply 

 in the fertilization of these crops as in those crops treated in 

 detail in this book. To those crops which make a large, quick 

 growth of foliage and fruit, with large root systems, apply a 

 generous quantity of fertilizer, broadcast or drilled in advance 

 of planting. For those crops with small root systems and which 

 are less exhaustive, a smaller quantity of fertilizer may be used 

 and all of it may be applied in the hill or drill.
