Effectiveness Of Home-mixing

Categories: HOME-MIXING OF FERTILIZERS

Van Slyke says ("Fertilizers and Crops,"

p. 477): "Manufacturers of fertilizers and their agents have

persistently sought to discourage the practice of home-mixing, but

their statements cannot be accepted as the evidence of disinterested

parties. It has been represented to farmers that peculiar and

mysterious virtues are imparted to the plant-food constituents by

proper mixing, and that really proper mixing can be accomplished only

by means not at the command of farmers. Such statements are

misrepresentations, based either upon the ignorance of the person who

makes them or upon his determination to sell commercial mixed goods."
