VALUATIONS.
For Available Phosphoric Acid, Ammonia and PotaHh for Season of 1891-92.
Available phosphoric acid ........................ ... ...... ........... . 4 cents a pound. Ammonia (or its equivalent in nitrogen) ...... .... ............. . 12 cents a pound. Potash ............ ...... ............... ............ ......................... .. 4 cents a pound.
If cal culated by unitsAvailable phosphoric acid... ..... ........ ...... ...................... 80 cents per unit. .Ammonia (or its equivalent in nitrogen) ..... ... . .............. . $2 40 cents per unit. Potash...... .. ...... .. . ........ ..... ..... . ... .... . ..... . ......... .. .... ... 80 cents per unit.
The relative commercial valuation which is given each fertilizer is calculated from the above figures with an addition to each of $2.60 per ton to cover inspection, sacks, mixing and handling.
To calculate the commercial value of a ton of a given fertilizer bear in mind that a ton weighs 2,000 pounds; and one per cent. of this is twenty pounds. If a goods contain one per cent. of available phosphoric acid this will be twenty pouuds of available phosphoric acid in a ton. Twenty pounds of available phosphoric acid at four cents a pound will be eighty cents for each per cent. containel in a ton, or eij!hty cents per unit as it is generally designated, am monia being twelve cents a pound, each one per cent.or twenty pounds in a ton will be vorth $2..!0. As potash is the same value as available phosphoric acid each per cent. in a ton will be worth eighty cents.
To illustrate this take a sample containing Available phosphoric acid-10.10 multiply by .80................ .. ............. $8 08 Ammonia .............. ........- 2.60 multiply by $2.40.. ........................ ,..... 6 24 Potash .. ...... .... ........ ...... - 1.10 multiply by .80. ......... .. .... ...... ......... S8 Inspection , sacks, mixing and handling............ ... ...... .. ...... ... ... .. .. .. ..... 2 60
Helative commercial value ............... ....................... .. ..... ..... ..... .. ....... $17 80 These valuations were obtained by the most careful investigation, and fairly
represent the wholesale cash value of fertilizers in Georgia in those cities where the goods enter the State or where they are manufactured. A great majority of the number of large manufacturers whose prices were used as a basis for these valuations, offer their goods at Savannah for cash at figures which corre>=pond with th ese values. Any one buying at a p istance from Savannah should add th e freight to that point, to obtain its local wholesale cash value; this subtracted from the price charged for the g0ods will give one a fair idea of what is charged as profit. Goods are sold ve ry close for cash, bnt when sold on time deale rs a re compelled to charge full prices to cover interest, cost of collection anc~ bad debts.

ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS-1891-92.

'It is impossible to fix exact values for an entire season upon mercantile

:goods subj ect to the fluctuations of the market, hence these values, while con-

.sidered fairly app roxi mate, are to be regarded rather as co mparative and not as

.absolu te.

Georgia is t he largest consumer of commercial fertilizers of any State in the

. :U nivn. Thanks to our well de vised fertilizer law she also secures them at lower

prices than any other State. Goods of identi cal composition, and made in one

;instance of which we are awa re in the same factory, are sold in th e New En-

;gland State for $30.00 p er ton, in Tennessee for ~26.00 per ton, and in Geo rgia

.for $22.00 per ton.



NEW LEGISLATION I~ REGARD .TO COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
The last Legislature enacted three important laws bearing upon fertilizing =ate rials:
First- A n Act to allow farmers to have analyses made of their fertilizers upon purchase, under certain conditions, and to cancel their indebtedness in -case of fai lu re of goods to reach their guaranteed analysis. This bill is usually .spoken of as the E llington Bill from th e name of the gentlemen who intro{}ucecl .it into the Senate. Analyses under this Act will be found in this bul le t in.
Second-A n Act to provide for the inspection and analysis of all cotton seed meals. 'fhis Act is called the Calvin Bill, having been introduced by that.gen.t leman in the House . Analyses under t he provisions of this Ac t will also be found in this bulletin.
Third -A new general fertilizer law was passed late in the adjourned ses:aion. U nd er its wise provisions it has been po~sibl e to make all insp ections -of fertilizers after th ey were sack ed and put upon the market. 'l'bis will prove .a great protection to the farmer. Acco rding to the old system of inspection good~ were inspeated before lea.v ing the factory in bulk. In case a manufacturer was inclin ed to be unscrupulous, an iuspector might sometimes be direded to a pile of very high grade goods, when h e had come to inspect a goous of a much different character. Jt was also considered possible for a dish onest man to rem ix his goods after in pection . .As the law is now carried -o ut neither of these two things are possible. While we trust no manufacturer was so dishonest as to be guilty of such practice3, we can but. feel that there will be Jess of the occasional complaint that goods with high analyses have s hown no better vesults than others with low ones. This method of inspection in sacks after th e goods are distributfld over the State is certainly a great protection to h onest manu factu rers against th ose who may have availed thernRehes of any of th e variou schemes to secure higher analyses thau their proJncts wi ll actually sho11 when caught away from home and fo rced to stand upo n th e analysis of t he contents of the brand ed sack, this branded ~ck Rhow ing just what kin d of guods were act uall y bought by the farmer under .t hi s particular brand .

DEPARTME~T OF AGRIC ULTURE-GEQRGIA.

There are many th ousand pecies of plants, yet all of them,.botb edible an di non-edibl e, barmles and p oisonous, contain nothin g more than th ese fourtee n above named bodies. Ordinary air contains nitrogen, oxygen and caruoni cacid , and water is comp osed of hyd rogen and ox ygen ,.hen ce th ese two so urce yield a n ever fai ling suppl y of carbon , oxygen and hydroge n. Whi le nitrogen i -present in enormous quantities in our atmosphe re, only . uch p la nts as clove rs,. pea~, beans, e tc., are abl e to obtain a supply from this so urce.
Th e four substances, phosphorus, nitrogen, potash and cal cium , wh en exhausted from a soil , cause it to be sterile ; of th e other te n element. necessary for plant growth three, carbon, ox ygen and h ydrogen, are furnished by theatmosphere and th e rain . The remaining seven, sulphur, chlorin e, silicon , iron, manganese, ma gnes ium anCI sodium exist in nearl y all soils in amp leq uantiti es.
To restore exhausted fi elds to th eir original fe rtility or to even g reater richn ess, th e fa rmer must add eit he r one or more as his land may req uire of phos ph orus, nitrogen, potash or cal cium. A fertilizer co ntaining t hese four ingredi ents is called a complete manure.
Many clay soils which are fo rmed by the decomposition of feldspa t hic rocks at first contain amp le potash. Such lands could be mo,t eco nomicall y ferti lized by omitting pota b were it not for tb e fact that th e a vail able potas h is solnb le in water and is freq uen tly ra pidly washed out of cultivated fi elds by tb e rains_ Some sections co ntain much lime which is a form of calcium fumi shed by li mestones, ma rls, etc. Lime salts are uot so read ily washed out of ara ble so il s as th ose of potash, and besid es existin g usuall y in suft1cie nt q ua ntity in th eland , th ey exi t as sulph ate of lime in co nsiderable a mo un t in all our fer t ilizers as they al'e commonl y manufactured from phos phatf\ rock or bone.

they are sold in this cou ntry at th e same price, per pound of actual potash, as is charged per pound for avai lable phosphoric acid.
Ph ospho1ic acid is tile most imp0rtant of the fe r tilizi ng ch em icals to the Georgia farmer. Nearly every unfertile soil needs it, and it is the dominant of cotton an d of co rn. Our chief sources of this valuable fertilizer are th e phosphates of lim e.
Bone meal qwes its value to both the phosphate of lime and th e ni trogenou. animal matter which it contain .
Bone meal is expensive and while furnishing much nitrogen, its phosph ori c acid is hut slowly given up to the p lant. When treated with strong m ineral acids, part of the lime is tak en up by the strong acid and the phosph oric acid becomes readil y ava ilable to t he plaut.
Bone meal, bone ash, bone black aud phosphate rock , are treated with strong s ul phuric acid , forming acid phosphates and s uperph osphates.
Both bone a nd phosp hate-rock, which is chiefly used because so m uch cheaper , are tricalcic ~hosphates, that is,' every molecul e of phosphoric acid i comb ined \Yith three molecules of lime. F lorida p hosphate rock an<l 'o uth Carolina phosp hate rock are both tricalcic phosphates.
This form of phospho ric acid combined with three parts of lim e is insolubl e, either in water or th e weak acids of th e soil ; h ence we call it insoluble becau:;e it;is insoluble in th e fields. Strong sulphuric acid will dissolve it, and by mean of it are phosphate rocks made avai lable as p lan t food. Tricalcic phosphate, <Jr bone phosp hate as it is sometimes called, is forced to give up two of its molecul es of li me to the powerful sul ph uri c acid, form in g s ulphate of lime or gyp sum. The tricalcic pho phate of li me bas now beco me a monocalcic pho pbate, onl y one molec ul e of lime being combined with the phosphori c acid. This monocalcic phosp hate is solu ble in water, and readil y a vailable to th e plant. The sulphu ric acid is neutralized by th e li me. The product is spoken o( as superphosphate of lime or as an acid phosphate of lime. Th e term "acid phosp hate" is usuall y tho ught to refe r to tbe ne utralized s ulphuri c acid, but reall y refers to the excess of p hosphoric acid in th e existing lim e ~alt. Tbe original tricalcic phosphate, containing an excess o( the li me or base migh t be spoken of as basic phosphate of lime.
'1\'beu acid phosphate of li me has been made some time thi excess of phosph oric acid manages to get back some of the lime, and t he n we baYe bi calcic phosp hate- one molecule of phosphoric acid to two of li me. This Yariety of phosphate of lime is insoluble iu wate r, but soluble in the weak acids of tb e soil. It is also called re verted or gone back phosphori c acid, and is always included as available.
'Vh en one looks at the a nalyses of acid phosphates a nd notices th at th ey only contain abo ut fi ftee n per cent. or eve n less of avai lable phosphoric acid, b e naturally wishes to kn ow what is the balance of its ingredients.
Phosphate rock is the chief so urce of phosphoric ac i l, and only con tains on an average from fif ty-five to sixty per ceut. of tricalcic or bon e phosphate; th e other thirty-five or forty per cent. co nsists of water, saud, iron, alumina and s ulphates and carbonates of lime and mag nesia. If these we re separated it would increase the cost of the fe rtilizer considembly, h ence th e crud e rock is used. Tbe tricalcic phosphate in the rock only carries enough phosphoric acid

cattl e and do not care to <>ive up half their field s for pasturage as is done in Europe for th e purpose of saving th eir manure. The enormous sales o[ chemical fertilizers show the high estimate of their valu e and h ow necessary they have b ecome. "\Vith th e low price of cotton th e problem is now h ow to produ ce the crop most cheap ly under th e co nditions existin g on a given farm. The individual farm er cannot control the oize of th e general crop, nor its price in th e markets of th e worlu, but he can largely control its cost o[ produ cti on to himself and conseq ue ntly his profit or loss.
One m eans by whi ch this can be don e is that of testin g the requirements of his fields for a given crop and learnin g what it needs and what it. does not need . This can be done by a farmer by dividing an avera ge secti on of hi:; land into seven plats and fertilizing one \lith phosph oric acid; an oth er with ammonia ; one with both phosphoric ac :1 and ammonia; th en one wi t h potash ; an oth er with phosph ori c acid an d potas h; one with po tash an d ammonia, an d still ano th e r with all three, phospho ric ac id, ammonia and pota h. ln a noth er set of similar plats fe rtili zed as aboYe, h e can te. t th e \'alue of th e audition of lime to each, and in th e fifteenth plat h e can try th e value of th e addition oi lime alone. u~e t he sa me amount of seed in each plat, cultivate all alike, and at th e end of th e season weigh th e r esult of the harvest from each separa tely. This experim e nt will show yo u what it is not n ecessa ry to buy, as yo ur lan d does not need it, and what m ust be aLlcled to produ ce th e best resuirs.
In raising so me crops th e re may be occasionally an absenct:! in th e soil of one of the seven elements usually co nside rerl ex isting in ample q uanti t y. Dr. Griffiths, the celebrated English ag riculturist , found th at th e add iti on of only 100 poun ds of iron s ulphate to the acre increased his crop of beans n earl y fifty per cent. , an enorm ous retum for a s mall am oun t of a ch e mi cal wo rth onl y ab out $1.50. H e also fo un d that usin g a larger quantity t han 100 poun ds actuall y dei!reased his' crop .
Ch emists and farmers are study ing th e fe rtilize r qu estion more closely tha n ever beJ'ore. Che mi ts are now looking diligentl y for an eco nomical met hod of fixin g t he nitrogen of our boundl ess atm osph ere. 'l' he air we breath e is four-fifths nitrogen an d only on e-fif th oxygen, L1ence '\'e have in air a nd wa te r all the n eeded elements for making either nitrates or amm oni a.. This fixin g o f th e nitrogen of th e air can be do ne now b ut n ot cheapl y enough . A_ certain ch e mist, howe ver, is alread y claiming that he bas discovered a me th od of securing it, which will cost onl y on e cen t a p ound for th e ammonia p iodu ced.
I trust the day is not far d istan t whe n t he farm ers ot' our tate will not depend npon complex manures co nta ining man y ing redi ents n ot neede I, but bu y phos ph oric acid, a mmonia an d pot-ash in t.h e proportions demanded by their own partil! ular la nds for a given crop. Eco nomiual fe rtilizati on is to giye the land onl y what is necessary a nd to avoid a policy like t hat of t he s hot-g un prescript io n of many ingredients giYen by the doctor hoping that some will hit.

SECTION IV of the Act makes the person or persons violating the provisions

-of the Act guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction punished as prescribed

in section 4310 of the Code.



SEc. V repeals conflicting laws.

I desire to call the attention of all manufacturers of and dealers in cotton

seed meal to the above law which requires the inspection, tagging and analy-

sis of all cGtton seed meal, whether llold for cattle food, fertilizer purpo3es or

oth er uses. This law will be enforced, and I most earnestly request all manu-

facturers t0 promptly comply with its requirements. And in case of doubt as

to the method, to apply to the Department of Agriculture for the rules and

regulations goveming such inspections.

R. T. NESBITT,

Commissioner of Agriculture.

NEW LAW GOVERNING THE INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS A D FERTILIZER MATERIALS.
On the 19th of October, 1891, an Act, the full text of which is here given, was approved by the Governor. In many respects it changes the method of inspecting fertilizers and fertilizer materials, and in these change~ the Commissioner trusts that all manufacturers and dealers, or their agents, will willingly acquiesce as the Department will require, and will see that the law and the regulations established by the Commissioner are carried out. The assent and co-opera! ion of manufacturers and dealers, or their agents, will obviously render their dealings wttb the Departm<Jnt more pleasant, and at the same time will better enable the Commissioner to gi,e an efficient service, and will aid him more read ily to detect any sp urious article that is sought to be imposed upon the people of the State ; and in protecting the farmers at the same time to protect the h one t manufacturer and dealer.
AN AC1'
- ~ro amen l anrl consolidate the laws governing the inspection, analysis and sale of commercial fertilizers, chemicals and cotton seed meal in the State of Georgia; and to repeal all other laws and parts of laws in conflict therewith , and for other purposes. SECTION I . Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That
all manufacturers of, or dealers in, commercial fertilizers, or ch~micals, or cotton seed meal , to be used in manufacturing the same, who may desire to sell or oft"er for sale in the State of Georgia such fertilizers, chemicals or cotton ~eeclmeal, shall first file with the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State .of Georgia the name of each brand of fertilizers or chemicals which be or they may desire to ell in said State, either l)_,. themselves or their agents, together ,with the nam e of th e manufacturer, the place where manufactured , and also

the guaranteed anal y. is thereof, ancl if the same fertilizer is sold under dif-

ferent names said fa ct shall be so stated, and the different brands that are

identical shall be named.



SEc. II. Be it further enacted, That all fertilizers, or chemicals for manufact-

uring the same, and all cotton seed meal cffered for sale or distribution in

this State shall have branded upon , or attached to, each bag, barrel or pack-

age, th e guaranteed analysi thereof, showing th e percentage of valuable ele-

ments or ingredi ents such fertilizers or chem icals contain , embracing the fol-

lowing determinations :

Moisture at 212 deg. Fah ...... ......... .... .. .. . .... .. .... .. ... ... .... ... ........ . ..per cent

Imsoluble phosphoric acid .. ... . ............... .... .. ............................... ... .per cent.

AYailable phosphoric acid ............ .... .. ........ ... . ...... ... .......................per cent.

Ammonia, actual and potential. ......... .. ................... .......... . .......... .. per cent.

Potash (K2 0 ) ........ ..... .................. .... ................ .... ..... ................... .per cent. Th e analysis so placed ~pon, or attached to, said fertilizer or chemical shall tie

a guarantee by the manufacturer, agent or p erson offering the same for sale

that it contains substantially the ingredients indicated thereby, in the per-

centage3 named therein , and said guarantee shall be binding on said manufac-

turer, agent or dealer, and may be pleaded in any action or s uit at law to show

total or partial failure of consideration in the contract for the sale of said fe r-

tilizer, chemical or cotton seed meal.

SEc. III. Be it furth er enacted, That it shall be the duty of the Commissioner

of Agriculture to forbid the sale of either of the following : Any acid phos -

phate which contains less than ten per centum of available phosphoric acid;

any acid ph osphate with potash , which contains a sum tot.'ll of l('SS than ten

per centum of available phosphoric acid and potash, when the per cents of the

two a re added together ; any acid phosphate with ammonia, which contains a

sum tota.l o( less than ten per centum of available p hosphoric acid and am mo-

nia, when th e per cents of the two are added together ; any acid phosphate with

ammonia and potash, which contain!< a sum total of less than ten p er centum

of available phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash, when t!Je per cents of the

three are added together; that no brands shall be sold as ammoniated super-

phosphates unless said brands co ntain 2 per cent. or more of ammonia. And

also to forbid the sale of all cotton seed meal which is shown by official
analysis to contain less than 7t per centum of ammonia. Nothing in this Act

shall be construed to nullify any of th e req uirements of an Act entitled an Act

to req uire the inspection and analysis of cotton seed meal.

SEc. IV. Be it further enacted, That all persons or firms, who may desire or

intend to sell fertilizers, chemica ls or cotton seed meal, in this State, shall for-

ward to the Commissioner of Ag ricul t ure a printed or plainly written request

for th e tags therefor, stating the name of th e brand, the name of the manufact-

urer, the p lace where manufactured , the number of tons of each brand, and

the number of tags requ ired, and the person or persons to whom th e same is

consigned, the guaranteed analysis, also the number of pounds contained in

each bag, barrel or package in which said fer tili7.er, chemical or cotton seed

meal is put up. And shall at th e time of said req uest for tags forward directly

t o the Cornmissioner of Agriculture t he sum of ten cents per ton as an inspec-
