THE FERTILIZER INSPECTION IN 1899. This year, as in the past, the New Hampshire College Agri- cultural Experiment Station has co-operated with the state board of agriculture in an inspection of the commercial fertil- izers sold in the state. In accordance with the public statutes, the collection of sam- ples of the different fertilizers has been in charge of the secre- tary of the board of agriculture, Hon. N. J. Bachelder, who has been assisted by Mr. H. E. Barnard; while the chemical analyses have been performed under the direction of the chem- ist of the experiment station, Prof. Fred W. Morse, who has had for assistants, Dr. E. W. Lazell, and Messrs. Arthur Given and Harry E. Barnard. The work of the inspectors in this state cannot be finished before the farmers buy their season's stock of fertilizers, be- cause the manufacturers do not, in many cases, place their goods in the hands of the local agents until April 1, or later. Consequently the analyses of the past year must serve as a guide to the composition of the fertilizers on the market for the com- ing year. The publication of this bulletin has therefore been delayed, with the idea that it will receive more attention now than if issued last fall, and thus be more effective in decreasing the use of inferior brands. Under the present fertilizer law a manufacturer pays a license fee, which permits the sale of as many different brands of fertilizers as he may choose to place on the market. The multiplication of brands by the different makers has required more analyses than could be paid for out of the license fees, therefore several of the samples collected were not analyzed. The list of brands not analyzed is published in order that all brands found by the agent of the board of agriculture may be included in this report, and that their guarantees may be com- pared by those farmers who may wish to select a fertilizer on the basis of its percentage composition. FERTILIZER INSPECTION IN 1899 5 The agent of the board of agriculture visited twenty-eight different towns representing all sections of the state. He col- lected, from eighty-seven agencies, two hundred and thirty- three samples of fertilizers, representing one hundred and twenty-eight different brands of goods and twenty-six manufac- turers. The towns visited were as follows: Portsmouth, Epping, Newton, Hollis, Nashua, Merrimack, Wilton, Hancock, Hillsborough Bridge, Hillsborough Upper Village, Keene, Walpole, Claremont, Goshen, Unity, Xewport, Manchester, Derry, Laconia, Tilton, Franklin Falls, Lebanon, Woodsville, Lancaster, Colebrook, Conway, Wolfeborough, and Kochester. The manufacturers, brands, and analytical results are given in the following tables: 6 INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS -3 Q a? «4 pq H -3 -3 O x Q rv, X 3 5 rv -*. .-*s c = -^v "^. 5 ? Cr ?
