To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A recently introduced fertilizer — the " basic superphos- phate," patented in Erigland by Mr. John Hughes — which is superphosphate "precipitated" or neutralized by the addition of lime, forms a useful phosphatic dressing for soils poor in lime. In its case also, 800 or 900 pounds per acre should be used to take the place of the smaller quantity of acid superphosphate ; and, like basic slag, it should be applied every other year. It may be well to point out here that coffee soils being generall...y rich in humus, it will usually be the case, at the outset of the life of the plantation, that Nitrogen is present in quantity more than sufficient to meet the requirements of the shrub for the production of several successive crops. Coffee But, on the other hand, this Nitrogen will be in organic Planting form, and will only become available for plant food after it Vi has been converted into Nitric acid and Nitrates by the natural processes known as Nitrification. Under the con- ditions of tropical climate and rainfall, provided there be a sufficiency of lime in the soil, the processes of Nitrification will go on with relative rapidity throughout the year.
