re mixed in different proportions for
IIITerent crops and fo r different soil

It frequently appears

For example, there may be

ily of available potash, but the sup-

Under certain conditions commercial
ertlllzers ilo not seem effective. This
may be due to the fact that the fe r

proportions, or it may be due to the
physical conditions of the soil.
The
