Analyses of Commercial Fertilizers. _ _.r. °
Number if Bmzzzis. There were 268 different brands of .
i commercial fertilizers registered from january 1, to May 1, ·
IQOI. Of these different brands, 159 were complete fertili-
zers, or fertilizers containing all three of the essential ingredi-
.· ents, namely; phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash; gg, were _
Q acid phosphates, or superphosphates; 6 containeda mixture ice;
of acid phosphate and nitrogen compounds only; gg acid phos-
phate and potash salts only; and 35 were classed as bones or g,
tankage.  
  Samples C0//cried cmd Amzg/zcr/. Three hundred and forty  
six samples were collected by deputy inspectors, or were sent
by farmers from various parts of the state; 281 samples were , A
{ those sent in by firms as official samples; of these samples, 438 iwé
were analyzed by the Station. _
° Rem/is offbc Amzbxszav. The results of the analyses show
that of the 43,8 samples analyzed, 83, representing 71 brands
~ i and go firms, fell so far below the guaranteed analyses in phos-
_1 phoric acid, nitrogen or potash, or any two, or all three of .
  these ingredients, that the dificiencies could not be accounted.

  Q for by variations in sa1npli11g or analysis. It is probable that  ‘
 ,   in most cases, variations can be accou11ted for by hurried or  _
,   careless mixing at tl1e factories, or gross mistakes in shipping `
l I one brand for another, but in one or two instances, tl1e results .
1 show a desire on the part of the manufacturer to guarantee a  [
! higher percentage of the essential ingredients than the goods A
  7 contain.  
The great majority of the manufacturers, however, have  i
furnished in 11lOSt instances, fertilizers fully upto guarantee. .
The following table gives tl1e names of all manufacturers _
legally selling fertilizers in tl1e State this year up to May 1,
j and the number of samples analyzed of each f:1I“11l’5 fertilizers .·
  taken from various places i11 tl1e State or furnished by the ` ·
l manufacturers.
1 1 The table also shows in how many of these samples there
  , was a serious deficiency of either phosphoric acid, nitrogen or
  potash, and i11 how many tl1e percentages of these constituents
· are such as to be considered acceptable, from tl1e poi11t of
, y. view of thebuyer, either because they equal or exceed the per-
= i_ centage guaranteed by tl1e manufacturer, or because a slight
. deficiency in one constituent is, in tl1e Director’s judgement,
l   4 fully made up by an excess in one or both ofthe others. Under
A the heading "Relative Value Per Ton," is sl1ow11 in how many ‘
X instances tl1e " estimated value per ton" calculated from our '
_   I analysis, equals or exceeds tl1e value calculated from the .
°   11l8.ll1lf`2lCl.l1I'€l'iS minimum guaranteed analysis, a11d in l1ow A

`. `_ for unavoidable variations. This table should be carefully
studied. lt concisely reviews each firm, sho’.ving how the I,
T samples of fertilizers taken from various places i11 the State
compare witl1 what was guaranteed. In order, however, to
I , _ see the an1ou11t of variations fro111 tl1e guaranteed analyses, ‘°
· tl1is table should be studied in CO1lll€CllOl1 witl1 the table of .

  » ' p . It is evident from the preceding table that while most of the
  fertilizers examined ran above the minimum guarantee, yet  
·   a thorough and careful inspection seems essential. It is hoped `
2   that farmers will generally take advantage of Section 8 of the  _
A fertilizer law, and when they purchase fertilizers, at least in { 
' quantity, that they will take a sample in accordance with Sec-  `
5 A tion 8 and send it to tl1e Station for free analysis. `
l Esse¢zz'z`aZs in Takzbzg ez Sample. 1. Take it at the ‘
time of purchase, and if possible in the presence of agent or  
seller. 2. Take a sample from not less than two bags, and I
from one additional bag for every ten purchased; mix these `
I samples carefully and take at least a pint of this mixed sam- ·
i . A ple, put it into a fruit jar, seal, box and express to M. A. Sco-
  ’ vell, Director, Lexington, Ky. 3,. Take the sample in the
Z presence of at least one witness, and have the witness sign the
  required certificate. 4. The certificate for free analysis to be ,
  ~ sent by mm'! and should be in accordance with the law as
i given in Section S.

T The term "Potash from muriate" does not indicate neces-

i nishing the potash; they may have used sulphate of potash, or
  other salts of potash, but in all fertilizers where the term i
