The growing demand for good fer- tilizers lias resulted In. tie production: of Mghly concentrated mixtures which fa tie end are less expensive to use. is "Tie tendency to use fertilizers lias resulted in suci and 4, I tores as which are highly concentrated compounds.' says S. & Jackson, fertility agronomist at tie North Caro-Tf- n State college. Since the price of fertilizers Is Based on tie coat of mar torfsita: and tie general expense of lrfTfngr, finggfng-- storage, commission and freight. It Is less expensive to Buy guci mixtures than: the old mixmaterials. One ton of a ture ennfctfns tie same amount of plant food as two tang of an mixture.

Jackson states that a number of questions Have arisen regarding the use of these highly concentrated mixtures. Farmers want to know tie effect upon germination of seeds and tie condition of tie fertilizers when mixed and stored! All of these problems are now Being investigated by tie federal Bureau of soils and tie agricultural experiment station. This work. Bas been done lh North Carolina for two years and tie results Indicate that these Mgily concentrated mixtures may reasonably find a place In fertilizer practice. More facts are needed, however, as to' tie effect on crop yields and tie Investigations are till la. progress. life Various Soli Types.
