| Source of Question: | New York |

| Answer/Response: | "The subject of commercial fertilizers was fully discussed in the November, 1926, number of THE BULLETIN. A great deal has been written in regard to the relative merit of manures, but the main part of the discussion arrives at the conclusion that any stable manure is good. We would not hesitate to use any barnyard or stable manure that could be purchased. If there is considerable straw or coarse litter in it, we would put it in a compost pile with about an equal bulk of soil and let it rot for six months or a year before using. If it is already rotted so that it breaks up readily, we would use it at once. We would just as soon have cow manure as horse manure. These materials serve a purpose in furnishing organic matter to a soil, which improves its physical condition and helps to hold moisture, benefit which is not obtained from commercial fertilizers. Commercial fertilizers are best used along with well-rotted stable manure." |
