WHAT’S IN A BAG OF FERTILIZER?
Some of the more co-mmonlbalance, is made up of sulphur, questions asked regarding thel°bYge“ and hydr°gen' In 100 lbs‘
contents of a. bag of fertilizer
are listed as follows:
Question: What do the figures mean, s uc h as 3-15-6 ot 6-12-12 etc.?
Answer: These figures repre- sent forumlaze in which the first figure indicates the percentage of Nitrogen (N), the second, the percentage of Phosphorous (as P 205, and the third, the percen- tage of Potash (as K20). They are always in this order. If min- or elements‘ are added, they are indicated on the tag or bag in pounds of water soluble and to- tal pounds per ton.
Question: If a 100lb bag of
6-12-12 contains only 30 lbs. of pure plant food, what makes up the other 70 lbs.? Is it filler? . Answer: Not necessarily. At least, most of it is not -filler, for the following reasons: All the chemicals used in making fertil- izers are compounds of two or -more chemicals which cannot be separated, because pure nitrogen is a gas, pure phosphorus would burn, and pure potash is extreme- ly caustic and as such cannot be handled or used as fertilizers. Therefore, the __,balance, or the non-essential elements in the com pound, take up the balance of weight and space.
For examp-le: 100 lbs. of sul- phate of ammonia contain 20 lbs. of nitrogen and the 80 lbs.
Life Membership Granted At
of super-phosphate, there are 20 lbs. of phosphorus pentoxide' (P 205) commonly termed phosphor- ic acid, and the balance is most- ly gypsus, containing calcium, sul- phur, oxygen and hydrogen. In 100 lbs. of muriate of potash, there are either 50 or 60 lbs. of potassium oxide (K20) and the balance is chlorine. A similar sit- nation exists for all other com- pounds in fertilizers.
Question: What is filler and why is it used? Answer: Filler is any loosen-
ing material which is added to complete the chemical ton when the added weights of chemical
compounds containing the requir-
ed percentage of pure chemicals do not add up to 2,000 lbs. This filler is not necessarily sand nor useless materials. As a matter of fact, by far the largest pro- portion of filler is limestone us- ed to neutralize some of the ac- id-forming nitrogen compounds. When there is sufficient lime to balance the acidity, the mixture of formula is termed a neutral fertilizer, and is preferred for use on very acid soils. Neutral fertil-
izers, however, should be used,
with caution on potato land if the soil is infected with potato scab.
Question: What is the proper way to buy fertilizers?
Answer: 1. Buy only grades

The idea of" establishing a branch of the John Howard Soc- iety in Charlottetown was dis- cussed by -the Kiwanis Club of Charlottetown _at their regular weekly meeting held last night in the Queen Hotel. The idea was brought to the attention of the club by J. Frank lVIacMillan. Lawson Jenkins presided.
It was explained that the John Howard Society is an organiza- tion to rehabilitate prisoners who have been released after serving their sentences, and peo- ple in similarly unfortunate and difficult circumstances.
Such’ a society offers vspersonal interest and genuineconcern for the person through the advice and co-operation of properly trained workers who know best how to deal with people in diffi- culty.
The club showed marked in- terest but felt that further study was needed on such an important matter. ,
Earl MacLeod is chairman of the curling committee that will be responsible for sending two teams from the club to the Kiwanis Bonspiel to be held in
School for the Blind, and the Char- lottetown school for the mentally retarded. -
0t-her 1957-58 Chapter projects included: the presentation of pie- tures of Her Majesty, the Queen, to a number of schools and Scout troops; the re-decorating and re- upholstering of the reception room at Mount Herbert Orphanage; the donation of magazine subscrip- tions to the veterans at both Char- lottetown Hospitals, contributions to the British Save the Children Fund, and the forwarding of boxes of used and new knitted articles for relief in disaster areas within the Commonwealth. ‘
Itwas reported that eight new members were given the affirma- tion wlthin the year and pledged allegiance to “Her Majesty.”
Discuss Branch In City Of The John Howard Society

The club was told that all com- mittees"were functioning at full steam, especially the projects committees which has a project under development at the pre- sent time. '
Birthday congratulations were extended by the chairman to Russ St. John.
