mixture for machine planting. Two or three hundred pounds 

 of dry loam, muck, or other suitable material will be needed to 

 mix with the chemicals to make a mixture in good mechanical 

 condition. The first formula contains only about one-sixth of 

 the nitrogen needed to grow the crop. With a good sod and 

 especially with a liberal dressing of farm manure, that will be all 

 that is needed. The second and third formulas carry more 

 nitrogen and the dry bulky tankage or cottonseed meal do away 

 with the necessity of a filler.
