The  nitrogen  usc  is  chiefly  in  the

The  world's output of nit rogen  :lnd

Thc  import:lnt point  he  brought out 
is  the  fact  thai  it  is  gefler~lly im 
possible  to  tell  from  a  soil  :malysis 
just  what  fertilizer  is  necessary  for 
that particular soil.  The  only  way 
to  tell  is  by  trial.  This  works  out 
all  right  for  field  crops  where  re 
sults  come  quickly ,  but  a  difli
