INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS MADE FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The inspection of commercial fertilizers reported in this bulletin was made under the direction of the Honor- able Andrew L. Felker, Commissioner of Agriculture. The state inspector, Mr. Eugene D. Sanborn, collected samples of 109 brands of fertilizer materials which were offered for sale by dealers or had been delivered to consumers during the year ending June, 1934. The general character of the fertilizer materials collected is shown by the following classification: Completemertihizer fo 8s 82 Nitrogen and phosphoric acid -........_. ib Phosphoric acid)and potash 2%. 2 il Superphosphate (acid phosphate) ... 5 INTEC LOM SOC ea.

Copies of the law may be obtained from his office in Concord. All inquiries concerning the law and all mat- ters relative to the registration of brands should be addressed to his office. 2 N. H. AGR. EXPERIMENT STATION [Bulletin 283 The purchaser’s cooperation in refusing to buy a fertilizer which does not conform to the law in every respect, will not only help in the enforcement of the law but will at the same time afford himself its pro- tection. Whether or not the purchaser familiarizes himself with the complete text of the fertilizer law, he should not accept from the dealer any bag of ferti- lizer which is not tagged and guaranteed in compliance. with the law. The law governing these matters fol- lows: “Every lot or parcel of commercial fertilizer or ferti- lizer material sold or offered or exposed for sale within this state shall be accompanied by a plainly printed statement, clearly and truly certifying the number of net pounds of fertilizer in the package, the name, brand or trademark under which the fertilizer is sold, the name and address of the manufacturer or importer, the location of the factory, and a chemical analysis stating the minimum percentage of nitrogen, of available phos- phoric acid and of water soluble potash expressed in whole numbers. “No fertilizer or fertilizer material containing the three essential fertilizing elements, nitrogen, phos- phoric acid and potash may be sold or offered for sale if the total minimum plant food nutrients contained therein is less than fourteen per cent by weight, pro- vided however that natural animal and bird manures shall be excepted from the provisions of this section.” The chief purpose of the fertilizer law is to protect the consumer against the low grade products which would doubtless soon appear upon the market if the distribution and sale of fertilizer was not under state regulation. The value of a fertilizer depends mainly upon its content of available plant food, particularly nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The presence of these constituents can only be determined by a chemical Dec., 1934] FERTILIZER INSPECTION, 1934 3 analysis. To insure that they are being furnished by the manufacturer in the guaranteed amounts, it is necessary that each brand of fertilizer offered for sale be officially inspected and analyzed one or more times each year. When failure to meet the guarantee is proven by chemical analysis, the prosecution or seizure provisions of the law may be invoked. In Table I are given the grades of complete ferti- lizers analyzed in this year’s inspection, the number of brands found in each grade, the average analysis of each grade and the average retail price per ton.
