FERTILIZATION OF THE SOIL AS AFFECTING THE ORANGE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE. BY H. J. WEBBER, Assistant in Division of Vegetable Pathology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Probably the most important question which concerns the orange grower is how to fertilize his trees. In Florida, where the orange soils are mostly very sandy and sterile, and require to be fertilized regularly, it is highly important to understand what elements should be used in fertilization and in what forms it is best to use them. No plant will long withstand improper treatment. In case of slow-growing plants like the orange, where proper treatment prolongs growth and productivity for centuries, it becomes particularly necessary that correct methods of manuring be used. The condition of the tree reflects largely the cumulative treatment of years; in crops which are replanted each year, however, the effect of improper fertilization is probably less noticeable, especially so far as the development of disease is concerned. In growing annual plants one can early notice results and may profit by experience. A few seasons will suffice to determine about the kind and quantity of fertilizer necessary for them on a particular soil. In the fertilization of the orange, however, the matter is not so easily determined; only the observations of a series of years will give results which can be depended upon. An orange grower may fertilize with one element one year and get good results, but this is no evidence that the same element used the next year, or year after year, will prove beneficial; it may indeed, in prolonged treatment, lead to deterioration and disease. It is this difficulty in experimenting and drawing correct conclusions that accounts for the present poor understanding of rational methods of manuring the orange. The orange appears to be very sensitive to methods of treatment and fertilization, and several of the most serious diseases are either caused or aggravated by errors in these. The present paper is based largely on the experiences of intelligent orange growers and upon such observations as the writer has been able to make in the course of investigations of orange diseases. FERTILIZING FOR GROWTH AND FRUIT. Primarily the orange grower desires to know how to fertilize so as to stimulate either growth or fruit production. With oranges, as with many other agricultural plants, one may fertilize in such a manner that excessive growth is stimulated at the expense of fruit production. A strong nitrogenous fertilizer results usually in much growth and little fruit. This seems to be particularly true if the ammonia is added in an organic form. While trees are young it is probably well to favor the growth of wood principally, but at an age of seven or eight.

It is contended by many that muck is principally decaying vegetable matter, and that as this is the form of nourishment which the tree obtains in nature, it must be a good fertilizer to use in cultivation. But it must be borne in mind that orange trees as we cultivate them are decidedly not in a state of nature, except that by the cultivation of centuries we have made cultivation and manuring natural conditions which the plant demands. Trees in nature bear fruits for seed to reproduce the species; on the contrary, we grow fruits for market and favor a seedless variety. We want a smooth, thinned-skin, tender, juicy fruit that will sink in water. Nature does not pay particular attention to the characters, so we watch for freaks and sports, abnormal plants, which have the characters we desire, and when found we render these character permanent by budding. Our aim in cultivation is not to produce the fruit we find in the wild state, but to modify that fruit until our purpose. One of the most efficient methods of accomplishing this is to vary the fertilization. While it cannot be denied that muck has in some cases given excellent results, it must be conceded that its extensive use has usually been of doubtful benefit and often has done positive injury. Groves which have had liberal dressings of muck are frequently much diseased and produce light crops; the oranges are usually coarse, thick-skinned, and sour; the productiveness is often lessened by extensive premature dropping of the fruit; the tendency seems to be to bring on die-back, a disease which is of frequent occurrence in groves heavily fertilized with muck. What has been said of muck applies sour fruit. That potash is very necessary for fruit production shown by the fact that the fruit contains a large percentage of element. An average of fifteen analyses different varieties of Florida oranges shows 52.05 per cent to be about the usual amount of potash in the ash of the orange fruit. The ash in these fifteen analyses averaged per cent, or less than 1 per cent of the total weight of the fruit. PHOSPHORIC ACID. Phosphoric acid, which is a very necessary element of fertilization on Florida orlands, is mostly used in the form of solved bone-black, acidulated bone or phosphate rock, soft phosphate, raw bone, gurke etc. The immediate effect of phosphoric acid on the orange tree and fruit is little derstood. Several intelligent growers can be able to recognize the effect of phosphorous starvation by the appearance of new growth of leaves. If these, when first push out or while they are still young and tender, present a slightly variegated pearance, mottled with light and dark green it is claimed that they are suffering from lack of phosphorus, and that if a liberal application of some soluble phosphate is applied their appearance may be checked. If this can shown to be true it will prove valuable in to the available quantity of phosphoric acid the soil. A similar appearance may be observed in light cases of the so-called "frenching," a disease, or probably not properly a symptom of disease, which is uncommon. Phosphorous starvation is true, may have some effect in inducing disease. SUMMARY. Summarizing it may be said: (1) By a proper combination of the various elements used in fertilization one can doubtedly largely govern the quality of the fruit. (2) To obtain a fruit with thin rind, nitrogen from inorganic sources in modern quantities, with considerable potash lime. (3) To sweeten the fruit, use sulphates ammonia in considerable abundance, decreasing the amount of potash. (4) To render the fruit more acid, increasing the amount of potash and using nitrogen from organic sources. (5) If it is desired to increase the size of the fruit, as is sometimes the case, comparatively heavy dressing of nitrogen some organic form and slightly decrease other elements. In the case of the tangerine and mandarin, where a larger size is useless desired, a heavy dressing of nitrogen tilizers would favor this end, and is not jeopardious unless carried to excess. (6) Fertilization has an important bearing on diseases. (7) Die-back, a serious malady, is in probability the result of overfeeding with nitrogenous manures from organic sources. These manures if used at all should be plied with great caution. (8) Foot rot, although not primarily due to improper methods of fertilization, is doubt considerably influenced by this cause. (9) Insect diseases are also apparently fluenced by the use of fertilizers, organic manures rendering the trees more liable injury from this source than chemical FERTILIZING FOR GROWTH AND FRUIT. Primarily the orange grower desires to know how to fertilize so as to stimulate either growth or fruit production. With oranges, as with many other agricultural plants, one may fertilize in such a manner that excessive growth is stimulated at the expense of fruit production. A strong nitrogenous fertilizer usually in much growth and little fruit. This seems to be particularly true if the ammonia is added in an organic form. While trees are young it is probably well to favor the growth of wood principally, but at an age of seven or eight years from the bulb, the tree, if it has grown properly, will have attained sufficient size to begin to produce a fair quantity of fruit. It should then be given a slightly modified fertilizer, containing more potash and phosphoric acid and less nitrogen, to stimulate fruit production as much as possible. The so-called chemical manures appear to be much more active in stimulating fruit production than organic manures. EFFECT ON QUALITY OF FRUIT. The experience of many orange growers indicates that the quality of the fruit may be largely controlled by fertilization. As oranges are purchased very largely on their appearance and quality, this becomes an important consideration in manuring. Many intelligent growers are coming to believe that the best results can be obtained by giving the trees an application of that element which seems to be lacking, and not using, as the majority do, a complete fertilizer, in definite proportions, regardless of whether all the elements are needed by the plant or not. If it can be determined by the appearance of the tree and fruit what element is lacking, this would seem the most rational way to fertilize. It seems reasonable to suppose that by careful study pathological characters induced by starvation might be found, which would serve to indicate clearly the lack of any particular element. Some growers claim to be able to recognize these characters now, and are fertilizing largely on this modified plan, taking advantage of what we might call the sign language of the tree. Some of these characters will be mentioned below under the consideration of the different elements used. EFFECT ON SOIL MOISTURE. In fertilization at least two factors must usually be considered, the element of plant food supplied and the effect of this upon the soil as aiding it in supplying the plant with moisture. The heavy application, in late fall or early spring, of an organic manure, like blood and bone, which is extensively used in Florida, is liable to lead to injurious effects during the spring drought, if the trees are on high or dry land. On the other hand, such soils might be ameliorated by using substances which attract water and increase the surface tension of soil moisture. Nitrogen, for instance, used in the form of nitrate of soda, and potash, in the form of kainit, would tend to draw up the subsoil moisture and probably aid largely in supplying the necessary moisture during this trying season. The use of organic manures, on the contrary, would only exaggerate the damage produced by drought. If groves are on very moist land, as is frequently the case in Florida, where the necessity is to lessen the moisture rather than to increase it, some form of organic manure, as muck or blood and bone, might be found of benefit. EFFECT OF FERTILIZERS ON THE ORANGE IN HEALTH. The elements which need to be supplied in fertilization to most Florida orange groves are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus; or, using the terms in which they are expressed in most analysis of fertilizers, ammonia, potash, and phosphoric acid. The application of time would also prove of benefit to STABLE MANURE OF DOUBTIFUL UTILITY. Barn manure is largely used by many growers, who still hold to the tradition that chemical manures are injurious to the plants. The benefits of barn manure in an orange grove are in serious question. The fruits produced by nitrogen from this source are, as above stated, usually large, coarse, thick-skinned, with abundant rag, and of inferior flavor. If barn manure is used—and most growers have a limited quantity and desire to use what they have—it should be spread over the grove lightly, so that each tree receives only a small amount. Where such manure is depended upon as the main element of fertilization, liberal dressings of potash should be occasionally applied; this will tend to correct the evils of an overbalanced nitrogenous fertilizer. What has been said as to the effects of muck and barn manure on the quality of the fruit applies equally to the effect produced by cottonseed meal, blood and bone, tankage, etc. In general, organic fertilizers do not stimulate fruiting to the same extent as the mineral fertilizers. It is probably better economy to apply such fertilizers to annual crops, cereals, garden truck, etc. MINERAL NITROGEN. The mineral nitrogen manures, nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia, apparently stimulate production of fruit more than organic manures and yet promote a fair general growth. The fruit produced by fertilization with these salts, used in correct proportions with the other elements which it is necessary to apply, is usually of good quality, being solid, juity and rich, with thin skin and little rag. Sulphate of ammonia has the effect, growers testify, of sweetening the fruit to a considerable extent. There seems to be little doubt as to the correctness of this view, but why it is so remains in question. The sweetening is probably more marked if there is a slight deficiency of potash. The use of very large quantities of either sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda may result disastrously, acting as "chemical poison," killing the trees outright and causing them to throw off their leaves. Here again the exact action is not to my knowledge understood. The following may be the explanation: It is well known that plants growing on the seacoast, in soil saturated with the salty sea water, are in some respects, under almost the same conditions as in deserts, having great difficulty it obtaining sufficient water, though surrounded by water. The root hairs have difficulty in extracting the water from the strong salty solutions. The plants thus have various devices to prevent excessive evaporation or transpiration of water from the leaves, similar to those developed by desert plants. The injurious effect of the nitrogen salts may in this case be caused by simply producing such a strong solution of the salt in the vicinity of the plant that the roots in orivation is not to produce the fruit we find in the wild state, but to modify that fruit until our purpose. One of the most efficient methods of accomplishing this is to vary its fertilization. While it cannot be denied that muck has in some cases given excellent results, it must be conceded that its extensive use has usually been of doubtful benefit and often has done positive injury. Groves which have had liberal dressings of muck are frequently much diseased and produce light crops; the oranges are usually coarse, thick-skinned, and sour; the productiveness is often lessened by extensive premature dropping of the fruit; the tendency seems to be to bring on die-back, a disease which is of frequent occurrence in groves heavily fertilized with muck. What has been said of muck applies to a greater or less extent to the various forms of organic nitrogen used. The tendency of all organic manures rich in nitrogen is to produce a large growth which is weak and sickly. Growth and not fruit is stimulated, and the fruit resulting is usually of poor quality, inclined to be large and rough, with a thick rind and abundant rug. STABLE MANURE OF DOUBTIFUL UTILITY. Barn manure is largely used by many growers who still hold to the tradition that chemical manures are injurious to the plants. The benefits of barn manure in an orange grove are in serious question.

The elements which need to be supplied in fertilization to most Florida orange groves are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus; or, using the terms in which they are expressed in most analysis of fertilizers, ammonia, potash, and phosphoric acid. The application of time would also prove benefit to many groves. Probably no element of plant food used in the fertilization of orange groves should be more carefully considered, with respect both of form and quantity, than nitrogen. It is the most costly and at the same time the most dangerous element to use, as excessive applications are liable to result in extensive dropping and splitting of the fruit or in the production of the serious disease known as the die-back. EFFECT OF NITROGEN. A grower may with considerable certainty determine by the appearance of his trees the condition of his grove in respect to the supply of nitrogen available in the soil. An abundance of nitrogen is indicated by a dark green color of the foliage and rank growth. The fruit shows the effect of an abundance of nitrogen by being, in general, large, with a thick and comparatively rough rind. If the trees have a yellowish foliage, with comparatively small leaves, and show little or no growth, there is probably a lack of nitrogen. In this case there is but little fruit formed, and that formed is small and usually colors early. If the tree is starving from a lack of nitrogen, the foliage will become very light yellow and sparse, and the small limbs will die, as will also the large limbs in extreme cases. If the starvation is continued, no fertilizer being added, the tree will finally die back nearly to the ground and probably die out entirely. The extreme symptoms of general starvation from lack of all elements are probably nearly the same. The nitrogen used in fertilization is commonly derived from mineral or organic sources. Of the former, sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda are the forms most used; of the latter, muck, dried blood, blood and bone, cottonseed meal, tankage, fish scrap, stable manure, etc., are the forms most commonly employed. INJURIOUS ACTION OF MUCK. Muck is very commonly applied in considerable quantities either in a raw state or composted with sulphate of potash, etc. Many growers rather fanatically hold to what they term natural fertilization. By this is usually meant giving the tree nourishment during this trying season. The use of organic manures on the contrary, would only exaggerate the damage produced by drought.

He Has Poor Chances In The Great Battle of Life and Deserves Sympathy. I never see a live sloth without feeling sorry for it, for truly they all deserve sympathy, and plenty of it. Had I been born a sloth I would want to sue nature, or in some way collect damages. Take Hoffman’s sloth for example. It is one of the largest of them all, but it is too weak and helpless to be put into such a wicked and dangerous world as this has now become. Its countenance is a picture of innocent stupidity, and as it looks at you its dull eyes and expressionless face say to you, as plainly as words: “Pity me! I cannot fight. I cannot run away. I have no defensive armor, nor spines, nor anything worth mentioning. I am too big to live in a burrow, and even if I were not I have none, nor the tools with which to make one. I am at the mercy of everything and everybody. Why is this thus? Why am I here?” I give it up. This creature is a riddle that I cannot read. Being only a short-sighted mortal, it seems to me that the sloth should have been better equipped for the battle of life, or else left out of it altogether. The sloth lives, moves and has his being by hanging underneath the smaller limbs of trees, and eating leaves and fruit. He is the slowest animal on record, and for speed in traveling a long journey, say, from one side of a treetop to the other, the tortoise is a lightning express in comparison. It takes a good fieldglass to enable you to see him move. His hair is coarse, wavy and precisely the color of gray moss, or rough bark, although sometimes it supports a minute vegetable organism which gives it an olive green hue. His feet are simply four hooks, by which he hangs himself very comfortably when feeding in the upper story of a forest, but in walking on the ground they are worse than back. SHERIFF’S SALE.
