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. 3 '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 .

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.

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.
