Analyses of Commercial Fertilizers.
r
Num6erq’Bramz’s. There were 246 different brands of
commercial fertilizers registered during the year 1900. Of
these, 138 were complete fertilizers, or fertilizers containing *`-—.;¥
all tl1ree of the essential ingredients, namely: phosphoric
acid, nitrogen and potash; 26 were acid phosphates; 9 con- { 
tained a mixture of acid phosphate and nitrogen compounds  
5 only; 29 acid phosphates and potash salts only; and 44 were  
classed as bores or tanlqage. '
Samples C0//or/ed and Anagram'. Five hundred and eight f
» samples were collected by deputy inspectors or sent by farm- '  
. » ers from various parts of the State and 255 were sent in by _
A firms as official samples; of these samples 548 have been ana-
lyzed by the Station. Many of these analyses have already
’ been published in Bulletin No. 88 and are not repeated here.
_ `The 215 samples not analyzed were duplicates collected by
different deputy inspectors working in different places at the
same time. In some instances as niany as 6 or 7 samples of
the same brand were collected.

E Results eyf the Anaévses. The results of the a11alyses show
it _ that of the 175 samples analyzed since August I2, 65, repre-
_ senting 48 brands and 19 firms, fell so far below the guaran-
Q teed analyses in phosphoric acid, nitrogen or potash, or any l °
`. two, or all three of these ingredients, that they could 11ot be
\ accounted for by variations in sampling or analysis. Adding p  P _
  il to these the 72 samples reported in Bulletin No. 88, we have
137 samples which fell so far below the guaranteed analyses
that attention should be called to this fact. It is probable
that in most cases variations can be accounted for by hurried
or careless mixing at the factories, or gross mistakes i11 ship-
ping one brand for another, but i11 several instances, the re-
{ suits show apparently a desire on the part of the manufacturer
_   to guarantee more than the goods contain. Attention is
; 1 called to tl1e fact that, in at least one instance, unacidulated
A Q phosphate rock has been mixed with and sold as bone meal.
  · ` (See foot note p. 226.) Such a mixture should 11ot be sold as
j bo11e meal, and i11 tl1e future tags will not be issued for bone
,»   meal fertilizers containing unacidulated rock phosphate.
Q a The great majority of the manufacturers, however, have W
°_ furnished in most instances fertilizers fully up to, and often
i VA/.» l better than the guarantee.
T if YY · A careful examination of the table on p.2o4 shows, however,
. · I that the fertilizers 111ade by tl1e following 11a1ned firms have
1 fallen below their minimum guarantees in so many instances
    that special attention should be called to them:
    The Abbott & Martin Rendering Company.
  l *George S. Bartlett.
i The Chicago Fertilizer Company.
The Hardy Packing Company.
. n Tl1e Ohio Farmers Fertilizer Company.
Tl1e table gives the manufacturers wl1o have registered fer- ` W
f tilizers in this State since August 12, or whose fertilizers have
been sampled a11d analyzed since that date. It shows also _
the number of samples analyzed of each firm’s fertilizers, a11d
*The tonnage tax paid by Mr. George   Bartlett on each of these
brands \V8.Sl.h€ll1l1lllI1l.111l allowable under the law, thus indicating but
a small amount of fertilizer sold by him.

in how many of these samples there was a serious deficiency
of either phosphoric acid, nitrogen or potash, and in how ·
l • many the percentages of these constituents are such as to be
acceptable, from the point of view of the buyer, either  
_ because they equal or exceed the percentage guaranteed by "
i i the manufacturer, or because a slight dehciency in one con- '
stituent is, in the Director’s judgment, fully made up by an . i
excess in one or both of the others. Under the heading, i _ _.
"Relative Value Per Ton," is shown in how many instances V
the "estimated value per ton," calculated from our analysis, Q
equals or exceeds the value calculated from the manufac-
turer’s minimum guaranteed analysis, and in how many it is
too low, reasonable allowance having been made for unavoid— V
able variations. This table should be carefully studied. It
concisely reviews each firm, showing how the samples of fer- ,
tilizers taken from various places in the State compare with
what was guaranteed. In order, however, to see the amount
of variations from the guaranteed analyses, this table should .
‘ be studied in connection with the table of results of analyses. -
This table can be easily referred to, as the names of the firms
are arranged in alphabetical order.

l 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 _ 1
I that farmers will generally take advantage of Section 8 of the
` fertilizer law, and when they purchase fertilizers, at least in
I quantity, that they will take a sample in accordance with Sec-  {
  il tion 8 and send it to the Station for free analysis.
'The essentials in taking a sample are: 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
from one additional bag for every ten purchased; mix these
samples carefully and take at least a pint of this mixed sam-
l 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
i . _ presence of at least one witness, and have the witness sign the
  * required certificate. 4. The certificate for free analysis to be
l, · ` sent by mai! and should be in accordance with the law as
f _given in Section S.
,-   If the sample is taken in accordance with the above direc-
E , tions it may be sent by express and the charges will be paid
°_ . by the Station.
j _/· ·— Farm zyf Cer/gfm/e. A good form of certificate is the fol-
I   lowing, and blank certificates will be sent free to any farmer
. requesting the same.

Should, however, any farmer desire to take a sample and
not have a blank certificate at hand, he may write onein full
like the form above given, or take the sample in presence of '
seller and witness and so mark it that he can indentify it sub-
sequently in a certificate, and send it at once to the Experi-
ment Station with the request that the station furnish form of "

ing the sample and properly signed by sender and witnesses
and sent by return mail to the Station.
Srclfou Pr0w'dz`7zgf0r Fwc /flldfll-'5Z'S.—Tll€ section of the Fer- ,
tilizer Law, providing for the taking of samples for free anal-  
ysis is as follows:
Sac. 8. Any person not a dealer in, or agent for the sale of  ;
any fertilizer who may purchase any commercial fertilizer in  
this State for his own use and not for sale, may take a sample iff
of the same for analysis, which analysis shall be made by the
said Experiment Station free of charge. Such samples for A
free analysis shall be taken by the purchaser in presence of " 1,
, , the person, company or agent selling the fertilizer, from at
least ten (io) per cent. of the sacks or other packages com~ '
prising the whole lot purchased, and shall be thoroughly
· _ mixed and at least one pound of the material after mixing
' must be put into a jar or can, securely sealed and marked in
such a way as to surely identify the sample and show by
( whom it was sent, without giving the name of the fertilizer
or the person from whom it was purchased, and must be for-
warded to the Director of the Kentucky Agricultural Experi- ,

{ V ment Station, Lexington, Ky. The purchaser shall also send
  t with the sample a certificate signed by himself and witness,
” ‘ or by two witnesses, stating that the sender has purchased the
2 fertilizer for his own use and not for sale, and that the sample V
g was taken in the manner prescribed in this Section. Pro- ’ ‘
V vided, however, that if the person, company or agent shall
refuse to witness the taking of the sample, then the sample
-.  may be taken at the time of the purchase in the manner · {
already described in the presence of two witnesses who shall
certify to the manner of taking the sample. The purchaser
shall preserve the official label from one of the bags or other
packages sampled to be sent to the Director after having re-
ceived the report of analysis of the sample, and at the same
time he shall furnish to the Director the name and address of
. the firm of whom the fertilizer was purchased and the amount
g purchased; and any person having sent a sample for free ,
{ ? analysis, under the provisions of this Section, who shall, after
, _ having received the report of analysis of the same, refuse to
_· g furnish the required information, shall thereafter forfeit the
f— _ » privilege of free analysis of fertilizers under this Section. But
  if any sample shall have been submitted for free analysis
  without all the requirements of tl1is Section having been com-
·‘ plied with, the Director shall inquire into the case and may
{ { accept the sample for free analysis if he believes that it is a
* fair sample of the fertilizer as it was delivered to the pur·
} { chaser.

’ i' The term "Potash, from Muriate" does not indicate necer
sarily that the manufacturers used muriate of potash in fur _
I ‘ nishing the potash; they may have used sulphate of potash, or  
other salts of potash, but in all·fertilizers where the term i
"Potash from Muriate" is used there is enough chlorine pres- _
ent to combine with the potash, either from salt in the tankage i _,
used, or the potash salts used, as muriate, kainit, carnallite, ·
etc. As the objection to the use of muriate of potash arises L
from the chlorine present in this salt, it likewise follows that
j chlorine in a fertilizer is objectionable, whether put in with
the potash or otherwise. The using of sulphate of potash
where there is chlorine present in other ingredients of the
fertilizer will not obviate the injurious effect of the chlorine, ,
and therefore we take this method of showing chlorine pre-
sent by designating the potash as "froni muriate."
EXj§[d7ld[Z.O7L qf {he 7216/e. In the table of analyses, under V
the column headed "From \Vl10lll Obtained," all samples .
marked i"manufacturer" are those furnished by the manufac-
turer at the time the fertilizer was entered for sale. All other
samples were collected by deputy inspectors or sent by farmers.
The analysis guaranteed by the manufacturer follows the  
analyses of these other samples and is printed in z`iaZz`c
figures. b
The figures in the table which are set in bold face type are  j ,
those results which, in the judgment of the Director, were too fix
low to be acceptable. Where the total phosphoric acid in at
samples of bone is marked with (*) it indicates that the bone
contains soluble phosphoric acid. This soluble phosphoric  
acid is an indication of either the addition of acid phosphate to T x;
‘ ‘ the bone, in which case it would not he a pure raw bone, or
else that the bone containing this soluble phosphoric acid was `
not strictly a pure or high grade bone, but contained trashy
F materials, which carried with them the soluble phosphoric
acid.
The names of the manufacturers are arranged in alphabeti- l
cal order, and all the analyses of the same brand have been
grouped together.
