Bailey, Chemist in Cliarge, Analytical Laboratory. THE FERTILIZER LAW. The provisions of the fertilizer law have been discussed in previous reports but for more ready reference the essential features may be repeated. Significance of the Term "Commercial Fertilizers" Explaining what is meant by the term "commercial fertilizers" the law says : "The term 'commercial fertilizers' shall be construed to mean any and every substance imported, manufactured, prepared or sold for fertilizing or manuring or soil amendment purposes, except barnyard manure and stable manure which have not been artificially treated or manipulated, marl and lime. Cottonseed meal, rapeseed meal, castor pomace and all other vege- table products used as fertilizers, including the ashes of cotton hulls and wood ashes, shall be included as fertilizers within the meaning of this act and separate analysis fees shall be paid on each different grade which is sold or offered for sale in the state. The person responsible for paying the fees above prescribed may deduct from the total tonnage sold such sales of cottonseed meal or other vegetable products as are made to anyone who gives a written certificate on a form supplied by the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment Station stating that the material bought by him was to be used exclusively for feed and not for fertilizer." Concerning Cottonseed Meal. Cottonseed meal is a fertilizer within the meaning of the Statute but it is provided that when this product is sold for feeding purposes only, it shall be exempt from the tonnage tax. The status of cottonseed meal under the fertilizer law has been clearly stated in a bulletin 1 from this Station from which the following may be quoted: Registration and analysis fees. "Each brand of cottonseed meal must be registered on forms provided by this Station and an analysis fee of ten dollars paid on it before it is sold, offered or exposed for sale, and on the first day of January annually thereafter." 1 Bull, of Information No. 9, 1919. 4 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 2J0 "A distinctive name constitutes a distinct brand. If shipments have different guaranties of composition they are held to be different brands." Branding or tagging. "Since nitrogen is the only fertilizer ingredient con- sidered in the trade in cottonseed meal no guaranty of phosphoric acid or potash is required. If either is guaranteed by the manufacturer, however, an additional fee of ten dollars must be paid on each element. The state- ment of composition now legal for feeds may be used hereafter if the per- centage of nitrogen is stated. "Note that the law regarding feeding stuffs forbids the use of metal in attaching tags and requires that each package shall be branded or tagged with the statement required by law." Duties of shippers. "It is assumed from correspondence with shippers outside the state that they will register the brands which they sell in Connecticut, will pay analysis fees as has been done in the past by manu- facturers of commercial fertilizers, and will semi-annually thereafter pay the tonnage fees. "They will report to this Station their total sales and if they wish, may report what part has been sold for feed exclusively. From the reports of dealers within the state it will be possible to determine quite closely the amounts of each brand actually used as feed. "In the case the jobber outside the state neglects or refuses to register a brand, the dealer who sells it within the state is responsible under the law." Duties of dealers. "Dealers are required to file with the director of the Station on July first of each year and semi-annually thereafter a sworn statement of their total sales of each brand of cottonseed meal and the amount of each sold exclusively for feed, during the preceding six months." Requirements to be Complied with by Sellers of Commer- cial Fertilizers. The seller is responsible for the proper labeling of each pack- age, for the registration at the Station of every brand sold by him and for the payment of the analysis fee, before offering for sale, and annually thereafter on January ist. The law specifies the information which shall be given on the label as follows : i. Weight of each package in pounds. 2. Brand name or trade mark. 3. Analysis: (a) Available phosphoric acid, per cent. (b) Total phosphoric acid, per cent. (c) Nitrogen, per cent. (d) Equivalent ammonia, per cent. (e) Potash soluble in water, per cent. 4. Name and address of the manufacturer or of the person who is responsible for the statement of the guaranty. In the case of bone meal, tankage or other organic products, '<. in basic slag and mineral phosphates in which a large percent;, of the phosphoric acid is not available by laboratory methods, t THE FERTILIZER LAW 5 phosphoric acid shall be claimed as total phosphoric acid unless it is desired to claim available phosphoric acid instead, in which case the guaranty shall take the form set forth above. The label may be a tag attached to the package or a statement printed thereon. Percentages shall be minimum percentages only. The presence of leather in its various forms, wool waste, hair, or any inert nitrogenous material shall be declared on the label unless, by processing, the activity of these materials has been rendered satisfactory as determined by official methods. When potash is derived from sulphate or carbonate of potash it may be so claimed. No claim or guaranty for less than 0.82 per cent of nitrogen or for less than 1 per cent of phosphoric acid, or for less than 1 per cent of potash shall be regarded in the registration or analysis of any commercial fertilizer. The seller must also, on the 1st of January and July, report the tonnage of fertilizer sold within the preceding six months and pay to the director of the Station a tonnage fee of 6 cents per ton. On request, copies of the law and blanks for registration and for tonnage reports will be supplied by the Station. //, however, proper labeling, registration and payments have been provided for by the manufacturer of the brands or by another responsible person all sellers of such brands are released from the above mentioned requirements. The retailer, therefore, should assure himself that the requirements of the law have been met by the manufacturers of the brands which he handles, or himself be prepared to meet all these requirements. Precautions to be Observed in Drawing Samples for Analysis. The analysis of a fertilizer is of no value unless the sample analyzed represents as nearly as possible the stock from which the sample was drawn. The law prescribes the procedure to be followed by authorized agents of this Station when taking official samples for analysis as follows : "When samples are taken from fertilizers in bags, a tube shall be used, and it shall be inserted at one end of the bag and shall pass substantially the entire length of the bag, so as to take a core of the material being sampled from substantially the entire length of the bag. Samples thus taken from individual bags shall be thoroughly mixed, and the official samples shall be taken from the mixture so drawn by the method known 'quartering.' Samples of fertilizers taken as herein provided shall be •'en from at least five per centum of the separate original unopened kages in the lot, for the mixture from which the official samples shall ";aken. If less than one hundred bags are in the lot, at least five bags ll be sampled ; if less than five bags, all shall be sampled. Broken :kages shall not be sampled." 6 connecticut experiment station bulletin 270 Gratuitous Analyses. Under the fertilizer law the Station is charged only with the analysis of samples drawn by its own agents. It does, however, each year analyze a considerable number of samples drawn by individuals, representing stock purchased by them for their own use. The object of the purchaser is to satisfy himself as to whether he has obtained goods of the grade represented and, perhaps, to obtain evidence upon which to base a claim for short- age should the materials not meet their guaranties. The Station assumes no responsibility for the sampling in case of such un- official samples and can only vouch for the accuracy of the results obtained on the materials as submitted. Since a representative sample is as essential as an accurate analysis in judging the quality of a shipment of fertilizer, it is evident that a satisfactory adjust- ment will seldom be effected on the basis of an unofficial sample. Notwithstanding certain objections which may be raised to the practice of analyzing samples submitted by individuals, the Station is disposed to continue such work so long as there is evidence that it constitutes a useful service; it cannot, however, undertake for any one individual or group, work in such volume or with such frequency that it becomes a systematic control over current purchases. This clearly invades the field of the commercial laboratory. REGISTRATIONS. For 1925, 61 individuals and firms registered at this Station for sale in this State 437 brands of fertilizers.

RAW MATERIALS CHIEFLY VALUABLE FOR NITROGEN. NITRATE OF SODA This salt in a pure state contains 16.47 P er cent -of nitrogen. Commercial grades usually contain from 15 to 16 per cent of nitrogen which is equivalent to 18.2 to 19.5 per cent of ammonia or 91 to 97 per cent of nitrate of soda. Twenty-three samples have been analyzed and the results are given in Table I. So far as nitrogen guaranties were given no deficiencies were found. The average nitrogen content was 15.43 per cent which is equivalent to 18.76 per cent of ammonia. At prices quoted, $60.00 to $85.00, nitrogen has cost from 19.2 to 27.2 cents per pound. Excluding the single high quotation, the range is 19.2 to about 25 cents. The average last year was found to be 23.3 cents. NITRATE OF SODA Table I.

Pure sulphate of ammonia contains 21.2 per cent of nitrogen but the commercial grades contain about 20.5 per cent which is equivalent to about 25 per cent of ammonia or about 97 per cent of ammonium sulphate. Five samples were examined and results are given in Table II. All substantially met or exceeded the guaranties for nitrogen. Prices were not quoted but 77.5 cents per pound may be taken as a fair valuation for nitrogen from this source this year. Table II. Sulphate of Ammonia. Manufacturer or Jobber.

Castor pomace is the residue left after removing the oil from the castor bean. Because of its poisonous constituents it should be stored where farm animals cannot have access to it. While chiefly valuable for its nitrogen, it contains also about one per cent of potash and two per cent of phosphoric acid. It is used chiefly with cottonseed meal in tobacco mixtures. Thirty samples were examined and are summarized in Table III. Thirteen were sampled by the station ag'ent and the remainder were submitted by purchasers. Sample 1680 fell somewhat below its guaranty as did 1797. In the latter case, however, while the purchaser stated 5.50 per cent of nitrogen as CASTOR POMACE 2 1 the guaranty, the registration made by the dealer claimed only 5 per cent, according to which there was no deficiency. The average guaranty was 4.61 per cent of nitrogen and the average found was 5.02 per cent. Ton prices, where quoted, ranged from $23.00 to $36.00 and nitrogen therefore cost from 2 3-3 t° 39-7 cents per pound. If allowance is made for potash and phosphoric acid at 4 cents per pound each the cost of nitrogen is 2 to 3 cents less. 2 2 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 2"J0 Table III.

Fifty-three samples of cottonseed meal have been analyzed and are summarized in Table V. The grades represented are the 36, 41 and 43 per cent protein meals. Eleven samples were sub- mitted with no statement of guaranty but analyses show them to be of the 41 or 43 per cent grade. Of the fifty-three samples only three were deficient by more than 0.1 per cent of nitrogen; and in only two, 1109 Dixie, and 1831 Bull, would the deficiencies exceed $1.00 per ton reckoning nitrogen at 35 cents per pound. The average nitrogen found was 6.63 per cent and the average guaranty was 6.53 per cent. A similar computation last year showed an average of 0.15 per cent ,of nitrogen found over the average guaranteeed. Ninety-six per cent of samples substantially met or exceeded their guaranties. The cost per pound of nitrogen in cottonseed meal has ranged from 38.1 cents in the 36 per cent protein grade to about S5-5 cents in the higher grades. The average for all samples is 35.9 cents as compared with 39.1 cents last year. Table IV. Summary of Data on Cottonseed Meal. Grade. Number of Samples. Average Nitrogen. % Average Cost per Ton.

RAW MATERIALS CHIEFLY VALUABLE FOR PHOSPHORIC ACID. PRECIPITATED BONE PHOSPHATE. Commercial bone phosphate, obtained as a by-product in the manufacture of gelatin, consists largely of dicalcium phosphate, and the phosphorus is practically all in so-called "available" form. Ten samples were analyzed, five of which were sampled by the station agent. Samples 2128 and 2521 did not meet the guaranty of 38 per cent total phosphoric acid although they averaged 36 per cent of available phosphoric acid. So far as prices were quoted available phosphoric acid cost about 7 cents per pound. Table VI. Analyses of Precipitated Bone Phosphate. Manufacturer or Wholesale Dealer.

Acid phosphate is made by treating raw rock phosphate with sulphuric acid which converts the phosphorus into available forms, chiefly, of the type which is soluble in water. Twenty-four samples were analyzed all but three of which sub- stantially equalled or exceeded their guaranties. Sample 1588 was about 0.5 per cent low; but two other samples of the same brand were well over the guaranty of 16 per cent. Sample 1453 was considerably under 16 per cent and no other sample of the same brand could be found. Sample 2736 was low but 1813, of the same manufacture, substantially met the guaranty. On the basis of eleven price quotations, available phosphoric acid in this raw material has cost about 7 cents per pound. Analyses are given in Table VII.

RAW MATERIALS CONTAINING POTASH. CARBONATE OF POTASH. Pure carbonate of potash contains 68.2 per cent of actual potash (K 2 0), but commercial grades will usually contain from 60 to 65 per cent. All of the samples examined, six in number, were submitted by the purchaser and the only guaranty given was 96 per cent mrbonate of potash which is equivalent to about 65.5 per cent of ICO. The samples examined ranged from 58.5 to 67.6 per cent. Another sample, 1569, was submitted by the American Sumatra Tobacco Co. as carbonate of potash, but there was apparently an error in sampling. The material contained only 24 per cent of potash with much phosphoric acid and was evidently a mixture of carbonate of potash and precipitated bone. Analyses are given in Table VIII. MURIATE OF POTASH. The grade of this salt chiefly used for fertilizer is about 80 per cent pure and is generally guaranteed to contain from 48 to 50 per cent of actual potash (K 2 0). Fourteen samples were drawn by the station agent and one was submitted by a purchaser. Three samples, 1584, 1687 and 1809 failed to equal their guaranties but second samples of two of these, 1846 and 2122, were not found deficient. No second sample of 1687 was found. On the basis of prices quoted potash from this source cost 5 cents per pound. Analyses are given in Table VIII. HIGH GRADE SULPHATE OF POTASH. This material is about 90 per cent pure sulphate of potash which is equivalent to about 48 per cent of actual potash (K 2 0). Eight samples were drawn by the station agent and six were examined for purchasers. All substantially equalled or exceeded their guaranties. Potash from this source cost, at the prices quoted, about 6 cents per pound. Analyses are given in Table VIII. DOUBLE SULPHATE OF POTASH AND MAGNESIA. (Double Manure Salts.) Only three samples were analyzed this season. All satisfied the requirement of 26 per cent of potash and contained from 10 to 14.5 per cent of magnesia. Analyses are given in Table VIII. KAINIT. The one sample of kainit examined fully satisfied the guaranty. The analysis is given in Table VIII. 32 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 270 •oj£ uojmg iovo 00 o m « O OO t>> r-» «>. -S(- Tj- IO VO IO IO w CO CTlOO VD "d- t^ t> CM >0 H O tJ-00 00 O vc o mvo 00 iovo <*■ H S M H H M H W •pgaiuBJBnj) •punoj e>, CM w m N Tl-VO vg Q\ in 10 -^-vo Q IN. co co PQ U' 2 C/3 < u b^ 8 ^ H w .- Clj +-> en £ tl J5 ft 2 §£^ JS'-S rt PhCo^^ - s-, 3 s«- ft »h to en 45 OJ o o o — m*c o o : • ffl tUU.O O be bo oj w -o -a ^ — © OJ PQWUUH W u 03 •0|^ UOUBJS J^ t~> rl- «^- irj in 10 IO •H M H H H H h co a\oo id >!*■ i>> t-^ o CTi 10 m o 'd-OO 00 o 01 m O lOlO C» iOi) 01 01 M •p33}u«.ienQ ^ o o o O o " °. ° °. co od d d d *t -rf m m m O m © o od od in ■* -sf •punoj p 0\\0 00 o 01 ^ l-l IT) ON O O CO odd in to m 5 < ffl C c\) o o ~J *-• t? < o o £ ~>oo u r; u £ gS-o-o t/3-p a) X> ja -- is g> g g «^ u 2 « « ^H O O CD CD to: •O re '■ '■ ^•"•3 c S3 O ^ re ' S '" a & PP _, ni cS •C^O ^0 QJ -M , r, tn t" « 'on « g re re "^ O J2 c/5 t72 i^H-o-o CS • ■. o 15 o m r tjJS o fe . © •O rt , U ^>pq fc "a ., • I ^ O dPn' >>ffi % re U «"re gas to S .u «.5 G CoU t^co^ _>>k o CO «3 & - n! i? ofl 6 > m 2U 1-*" ~ u - 6CQ bo 6CJ -.5 U 6 s - Ih,1 u — N ri < « S^'^i5-2 !Pn ffi ,^«j£ I- J2 CO 03" . • O o^Qg & vo iooo in ^ ^j-vo W l-l M H 01 01 l-l 34 CONNECTICUT EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 270 <*■ O M co «s 01 01 00 H 1 initio «oo m ts. i> °N U0 !+ B }S IH Tf >tf-Q0 "d-oo CO IT) 10 t-.

RAW MATERIALS CONTAINING NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORIC ACID. DRY GROUND FISH. Twenty-six samples of dry ground fish were analyzed, ten of which were official samples drawn by the station agent. All of the official samples equalled or exceeded their guaranties except 1554 which was 0.32 per cent low in nitrogen and 2090 which was deficient in phosphoric acid. In the official samples the average nitrogen found was 8.80 per cent and the average phosphoric acid 7.59 per cent. On the .basis of the prices quoted to our agent, allowing 4 cents per pound for phosphoric acid, nitrogen in this material cost about 37.7 cents per pound. A similar calculation last year showed the cost per pound to be 37.9 cents.

MISCELLANEOUS FERTILIZERS, AMENDMENTS x\ND WASTE PRODUCTS. WOOD ASHES. Twelve samples of wood ashes, chiefly Canadian products, have been analyzed. All were of good quality. Nine contained over 6 per cent of potash and eleven contained over 5 per cent. Besides potash, wood ashes contain from 1.5 to 2.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and probably 30 per cent or more of lime which contribute to their value as a fertilizer and a soil amendment, but as a source of potash at $5.00 per unit they are expensive.

The material was guaranteed 0.25 and 1 per cent of available and total phosphoric acid respectively. Only phosphoric acid is guaranteed. The material contains, or ( may contain, 6 per cent or more of potash but it is largely or entirely insoluble in water.
