Inoculated Sulphur 
Its Value and Uses for Agricultural Purposes 
Part IV 
The effectiveness of the treatment is evi¬ 
dent from the figures given in Table V. Of 
the total yield of about 850 bushels per 
acre 64.0 per cent were scabby. Where 
400 lbs. of sulphur per acre were used 
only 29.4 per cent were scabby, and where 
000 lbs. of sulphur per acre was applied 
19.4 per cent were scabby. The unsalable 
scabby potatoes were, therefore, reduced 
from nearly 147 bushels per acre to about 
20 bushels per acre where* the 000-lb. 
application was made. This corresponds 
infesting insects, the degree of acidity to 
be established in the soil is relatively 
high. Hence in this case applications of 
4,000 to 5,000 lbs. per acre of inoculated 
sulphur is needed. The material should 
bo evenly distributed and thoroughly 
worked into the top soil. In the same 
manner the reclamation of black alkali 
soils will call for applications of from 
—,000 to ;>,000 lbs. per acre, evenly dis- 
tributed. The actual amounts to be em¬ 
ployed will have to be determined by the 
reaction of the soil, indicating the least 
amount of sulphur to bo employed. In¬ 
formation on this point may be obtained

very well with the bydrogeu-ion concen¬ 
tration determinations (expressed ns pTT 
values) shown in the last column of Table 
V. It bears out the conclusion drawn 
from other experiments in New Jersey 
and elsewhere that, when the pH value of 
the soil is reduced to 5 or less, (lie potato 
scab fungus ceases to be troublesome. 
Investigations now in progress on the 
control of sweet potato scurf promise to 
show similar results. 
In a similar way inoculated sulphur 
proved itself superior to uninoculated 
sulphur in the control of potato scab. 
This is shown in the data reported in 
Table VI. and recording experiments car¬ 
ried out in New Jersey in the season of 
1920. 
The experiments in question were car¬ 
ried out in a portion of a field that bad 
been used for the growing of potatoes for 
a number of years. Conditions became 
worse from year to year until the pota¬ 
toes were so scabby as to be practically 
100 per cent unsalable. The results 
show that where COO lbs. of inoculated 
sulphur were compared with the same 
quantity of uninoculated sulphur the 
former proved to be much superior. The 
portion of the field where no sulphur was 
used produced at the rate of only 12V£ 
bushels, or 0.4 per cent of salable pota¬ 
toes per acre. Six hundred pounds of 
uninoculated sulphur increased this to 111 
bushels, or 48.0 per cent of salable pota¬ 
toes per acre, while 000 lbs. of inoculated 
sulphur increased the amount of salable 
potatoes to 188% bushels, or 93.6 per 
cent per acre. Since the field on which 
the experiment was carried out repre¬ 
sented an extreme condition of infection 
by the potato scab fungus, the results 
secured offer strong testimony of the pos¬ 
sibilities of inoculated sulphur for the 
control of potato scab. 
Information has been obtained by the 
New Jersey Station concerning the best 
methods of using sulphur for potato scab 
control. Theoretically it would be de¬ 
sirable to add the necessary amount of 
sulphur to the fertilizer so that all of it 
might be applied at planting time in the 
row. It has been found, however, that 
the use of sulphur with the fertilizer in 
station of the par¬ 
tite area to he ro- 
from the experiment 
ticular State where 
claimed is located. 
Where inoculated sulphur is to be used 
for supplying sulphur as plant food, the 
applications per acre would he relatively 
small, namely, 100 to 200 lbs. In the 
case of cabbage and cauliflower some¬ 
what larger amounts may prove profitable. 
Still another important application of 
sulphur js indicated by the fact that in¬ 
jurious insects and weeds may la* con¬ 
trolled or entirely eliminated by making 
the soil sufficiently acid. In our Southern 
States and in other regions where the 
V inters are mild, as well as in green¬ 
house soils everywhere, much damage is 
caused by eel worms or nematodes. 
These enter the roots of plants and cause 
swellings and malformations on roots and 
seriously interfere with the well-being of 
the plants. Crop yields are thereby very 
much reduced. Nematodes create, for 
this reason, a very serious problem for 
the planter in the South as well as for 
the grower of vegetables in forcing 
houses. The use of sulphur in sufficient 
quantities promises to make the soil suf¬ 
ficiently acid to allow of the elimination 
of these parasites. Tf the soil acidity 
thus created is excessive, it can be, iit 
part or entirely, neutralized by the use 
of lime. Similarly weeds, particularly 
those growing along roadsides, in gutters, 
on tennis courts, etc., can be destroyed 
by the use of sufficient quantities of sul¬ 
phur. The use of sulphur also promises 
to offer relief from parasites of turkeys 
and poultry where poultry runs become 
infested with them.

The fact that sulphur

suggests a number of other practical ap¬ 
plications. In 1915 the New Jersey Ex¬ 
periment Station undertook to determine 
whether mixtures of sulphur and ground 
phosphate rock, if kept under suitable 
conditions, would gradually change into 
acid phosphate. It was assumed that the 
sulphur changed by bacteria into sul¬ 
phuric acid would attack the phosphate 
rock and make it soluble. This actually 
occurred, as was expected. The data ac¬ 
cumulated in these experiments are re¬ 
corded in several papers published in 
“Soil Science.” Table VII contains some 
of the data in question. 
It will he observed that in the course 
of 20 weeks more than 85 per cent of the 
total phosphorus in the phosphate rock 
became available by the method of the 
official agricultural chemists. The golu-

the row does not give good results. No 
uniform amount of acidity is developed, 
since the sulphur is not uniformly dis¬ 
tributed and there is apparently some de¬ 
gree of incompatibility between the sul¬ 
phur and certain fertilizer ingredients. 
Hence, after much experimenting, it has 
been found that the best results may be 
secured by distributing the sulphur broad¬ 
cast at the rate of 300 to 000 lbs. per 
acre and harrowing the material thor¬ 
oughly into the soil some time before 
planting the potatoes. Where a moderate 
amount of scab exists 300 to 400 lbs. pet- 
acre should be sufficient. Where pota¬ 
toes are very badly scabbed an applica¬ 
tion of 500 to 000 lbs. per acre may be 
necessary.

bilily of the phosphate increased as the 
medium became more acid through the 
oxidation of the sulphur by sulphur-oxi¬ 
dizing bacteria. It appears, therefore, 
that acid phosphate can be made on a 
large scale by mixing sulphur, phosphate 
rock, and keeping the mixtures under 
suitable conditions as to moisture and 
temperature. Similar results have been 
obtained at the University of Maryland 
in composting sulphur and the potash- 
bearing mineral glauconite, found 3a 
practically unlimited quantities in the 
green sands of New Jersey. Delaware.

ments the sulphuric acid produced iu the
