40 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD.
Fertilizer problems, P. WAGNER (Diingungsfragen. Berlin: Paul Parey, 1896,
Nos. 1, pp. 40; 2, pp. 39, figs. 6; 3, pp. 56, figs. 18).-This is a third revised edition of
part 1 and a second edition of part 3. Part 1 contains the following articles: Is it
rational to fertilize with ground Belgian phosphate? Can the purchase of prepared
phosphate meal be recommended? Is there a cheap mineral phosphate which can be
used with profit as a substitute for Thomas slag? How can the farmer protect himself
against adulterated Thomas slag? Is there an easily soluble and a difficultly
soluble Thomas slag? What kind of guaranty should a farmer demand in order to
protect himself from low-grade Thomas slag and other phosphates? On what principle
should the trade in Thomas slag be regulated? Will it be commercially profitable
to produce an easily soluble and quick-acting Thomas slag? Under what
conditions will fertilizing with Thomas slag be most profitable and under what conditions
will the use of superphosphate be preferable? What precautions must be
observed in field experiments with phosphates in order to avoid false conclusions?
Part 2 contains the following articles: What crops increase the nitrogen supply
of the farm? What plants are adapted to the purposes of green manuring? Is it
true that liberal fertilizing with potash and phosphoric acid increases the nitrogen
assimilation of leguminous plants? Is it true that green manuring on the better
class of soils is an agricultural error? Under what conditions is green manuring
rational and under what conditions is it to be considered a mistake? What are the
secondary influences of the practice of green manuring?
Part 3 contains the following articles: What do field experiments with fertilizers
teach? Results of field experiments with fertilizers at the Darmstadt station on
barley, oats, and potatoes. How much phosphoric acid and potash should be applied
to different plants ? How much nitrogen should be applied to wheat, oats, barley,
rye, clovers and other leguminous plants, carrots, beets, cabbages, potatoes, corn,
and tobacco ? How must Thomas slag be prepared in order to be quick and sure in
its action ?
