FERTILIZING THE
CROP
, Th<« primary object In using' fertiliser
la to produce a larger yield of the crop
that Is to bo Immediately grown, or la
Already growing, on the land to whloh
the fertilizer la to be applied. As a rule,
It contains from ton to sixteen per cent,
of more or less promptly available plant
food. In other words, a commercial fer-
tilizer contains In every hundred pound*
weight from W to 16 pounds of available
fhosphorlo arid, either alone, or that
amount of phosphoric acid and potash
combined, or of these two and nitrogen
combined, making In the latter case, wnat
Is called a "complete" fertllljser. Now,
this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounds
of the fertilizer Is supposed to be, and
should be, practically aoluble and avail-
able at once, or within a week or two,
for the use of the crop, says Virginia-
Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
The remaining portion of the fertilizer,
or the 84 to 90 pounds In each 100 pounds.
Is a mixture of Insoluble phosphate and
•ulphate of llmu, some sand, water, or-
ganic matter ana other things tliat are
necessarily incident to tho manufacture,
and ;annot be economically removed.
They are of very little immediate value
to either the crop or the soil.
Bo when we apply a high-grade fertil-
izer to the soli the object is to supply
the plants with soluble plant food and
Increase the yield of the cotton, grain,
Crass, or whatever the crop may be.
Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does
help the land, because it Induces a larger
■rrowth of stalk, roots and foliage of the
plants—or those parts that will be .re-
turned to, and become part of the soil.
A dose of this fertilizer, for instance,
rot only Increases the yield of seed cot-
ton, but also the size of the stalks,
the foliage, hulls and other parts that
immediately back and form a part of
e soil In the shape of humus (decayed
vegetable matter). But the principal way
to Improve the soil Itself, is to add vege-
table matter to It in the form of stable
manure, renovating crops, rotation of
crops, etc., Inja more direct manner.
It would seem manifest, then, If we
-wish to increase the yield of corn, cotton
■wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertilizer
■hould contain the three "elements" of
plant food in the proportions that are
best suited to the particular crop. This
Is particularly true if the purpose is to
use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acre.
In such case the deficient supply, in the
natural soil, of any one or more of i the
three "valuable" elements (phosphoric
acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be
specially considered.
' According to carefully conducted field
experiments, conducted at many of the
experiment stations, It has been found
that cotton requires a fertilizer that con-
tains about one part each of nitrogen and
potash and 8 1-3 parts of available phos-
phoric acid. This demand would be met
by a fertilizer containing 10 per cent,
available phospl^^^^^^M^^^^^^

nitrogen
as ordinarily expressed, a to—3—8 fertilizer.
One analyzing a—2.70—1.70; or 8—2.40—2.40;
and 3 per cent, of potash; or, «'h
Inarlly expressed, a to—3—8 fertlllz— 9
Or 7-3.10-2.10, etc., would answer Just as
ML provided these lower grades be ap-
plied In heavier quantities.
So it has been found that corn, sugar
came, sorghum, grasses and other crops
belonging to the grass family respond
best to a fertilizer that shall contain 10
parts of phosphoric acid, 5 parts of nitro-
gen and 2 parts of potash— or a 10—5—2
fertilizer. The following formulas are
In precisely the same proportions, only
they are of lower grade, and would give
practically the same results only when a
correspondingly larger application shall
be mado per acre—via., 9—4.50—1.80; or
8—4.00—1/4; or 7—3.60—1.40, and so on. Of
course, these lower grades can be sold
at lower prices than the high grades;
but, as a rule, the farmer will find it
more economical to buy the high grades,
both on account of their cheaper price
per "unit" and also the saving of freight
the latter being precisely the rame, per
{ton. for both high and lo tr grades.
APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN
PLANTING.
While it is certainly true, in our ex*
perience, that the greater part of the fer-
tilizer should be applied about two weeks
Wlten a woman suffering1 from
female t rouble is told that an oper-
ation ia necessary, it, of course,
i frlgh tens her.
The very thought of the hospital,
the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
It is quite true that these troub-
les may reach a stage where au ope-
ration is the only resource, but a
great many women have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after an operation hus
been decided upon as the only cure.
The strongest and most grateful .
statements possible to make come from women who by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as
evidenced by Miss Kose Moore's ease, of 307 W. 26th St., N.Y. She writes:-
Dear Mrs. Pinkhain;-"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. 1
doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting
to au operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble
and 1 atn now in better health than I have been for many years."
This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly-
dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before shesubmits to an operation.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the

before the crop Is to be planted, well
mixed In the soil of the bedding furrow
and bedded on, there are circumstances
that would Justify a farmer In making
one or more lntercultural applications,
Including one at the actual date of plant-
ing. The following are such circumstan-
ces:
(1) When a farmer haa not been abla
to secure the whole amount of his fer-
tilizers before planting time.
(2) When he concludes, after his erop
has been planted and Is growing, that]
he did not buy and apply as much as be
■hould have done before planting.
(3) When the yellowish green color ai
want of vigor In the appearance of t!
plants indicate that more nitrogen
needed by the crop.
We believe it may be safely aocepti
as a general rule that a small portion^
of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should be
applied with, or near the seed, at the
time of planting. The effect of this smalt
application is to supply the young plants,
