What James H. Gregory, of Marblehead, 
Says About the Stockh xdge Theory. 
“Id regard to commercial fertilizers, having spoken in a ^ >al way, let us advance a step towards the 
Stock bridge theory. This, as you well know, Is that by ana'£ V they find that each plant has certain eloments 
and combines them in certain proportions, so that, If I. N >V those elements in the same proportions. I get 
that crop, increasing them us the crop wants them. lessor Block bridge makes a formula to> <*PplJ_ to 
different crops. Now that In general 1 endorse. l A «t that In general be Is correct. We all knov that 
certain crops like ashes, and thrive on them. Cer^ crops are especially hungry for ammonia. Wc know 
that different crop* like different proportions < Kee elements." This convention at which Mr. Gregory 
gave Z expe^ce was composed of a large nXber of practical Essex County farmers, and the general 
tenor of their discussion was In favor of special fertilizers, which seem to be growing in popularity every 
year.
