Mfitiures for the Cotton Plant. 
Basetl on the foregoing analyses of the cotton 
plant and its parts, Mr. McBryde ha.s calculated 
the proportions of a number of fertilizers which 
m.ay be used as suitable mixtures for manuring 
the cotton plant. 
Each mixture is calculated to give nitrogen 
twenty pounds, phosphoric acid lifty pounds, 
potash fifteen pounds for a crop expected to 
yield three hundred pounds of lint per acre. 
The following are the fertilizers \ised to make 
up the mixtures with the percentages of nitrogen, 
phosphoric acid and potash which each is assumed 
to contain:^
