It should always be borne in mind that the application of very large amounts of nitrogen in any form, even in barnyard manure, may cause the straw to grow so taU. and weak that it may fall, or lodge. The application of phosphate and kainit is believed to have a tendency to strengthen the straw and to reduce the danger of lodging. Formerly when cotton-seed was worth less than twelve dollars per ton, it was largely used as a fertihzer for wheat. Cotton-seed was plowed in when the wheat was sown, and its use, especially when combined with acid phosphate, was effective. Cotton-seed is now in most localities too.
