PREFACE 

Volume  III,  Special  Reports,  comprises  a  group  of  special  compilations  and  summaries 
of  data  from  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  and  related  surveys.  The  purpose  of  Part  10, 
"Use  of  Fertilizer  and  Lime"  is  to  present  in  one  publication  most  of  the  detailed  data 
compiled  for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  regarding  the  use  of  fertilizer  and  lime.  The 
report  presents  data  for  counties.  State  economic  areas,  and  generalized  type-of- farming 
areas  regarding  the  quantity  used,  acreage  on  which  used,  and  expenditures  for  fertilizer 
and  lime. 

This  report  has  been  prepared  cooperatively  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  of  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Commerce  and  the  Agricultural  Research  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture.  This  cooperative  report  was  prepared  under  the  direction  of  Ray  Hurley, 
Chief  of  the  Agriculture  Division  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  The  report  was  outlined 
and  the  text  was  written  by  Donald  B.  Ibach,  Agricultural  Economist,  and  by  J.  Richards 
Adams,  Senior  Chemist,  Agricultural  Research  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. Gladys  L.  Eagle,  Lois  Miller,  and  Julia  H.  Moring  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census 
aided  in  the  preparation  of  the  report.

present  statistics  for  selected  items  of  inventory  and  agricul- 
tural production  for  the  leading  counties  in  the  United  States. 

Part  3. — Alaska,  Hawaii,  Puerto  Rico,  District  of  Columbia,  and 
V.  S.  Possessions.  These  areas  were  not  included  in  the  19.54 
Census  of  Agriculture.  The  available  current  data  from  vari- 
ous Government  sources  will  be  compiled  and  published  in 
this  report. 

Part  4. — Agriculture,  1954,  a  Graphic  Summary.  This  report  will 
present  graphically  some  of  the  significant  facts  regarding 
agriculture  and  agricultural  pnHluction  as  revealed  by  the  1954 
Census  of  Agriculture. 

Part  5. — Farm-mortgage  Debt.  This  will  be  a  cooiierative  study 
by  the  Agricultural  Research  Sciviee  of  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture  and  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  It  will  present, 
by  States,  data  based  on  the  19.54  Census  of  Agriculture  and  a 
special  mail  survey  to  be  conducted  in  January  1956,  on  the 
number  of  mortgaged  farms,  the  amount  of  mortgage  debt,  and 
the  amount  of  debt  held  by  principal  lending  agencies. 


Part  6. — Irrigation  in  Humid  Areas.  This  cooperative  report  by 
the  Agricultural  Research  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture  and  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  will  present  data  ob- 
tained by  a  mail  survey  of  operators  of  irrigated  farms  in  28 
States  on  the  source  of  water,  method  of  applying  water,  num- 
ber of  pumps  used,  acres  of  crops  Irrigated  in  1954  and  1955, 
the  number  of  times  each  crop  was  irrigated,  and  the  cost  of 
irrigation  equipment  and  the  irrigation  system. 

Part  7. — Popular  Report  of  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture.  This 
report  is  planned  to  be  a  general,  easy-to-read  publication  for 
the  general  public  on  the  status  and  broad  characteristics  of 
United  States  agriculture.  It  will  seek  to  delineate  such  as- 
pects of  agriculture  as  the  geographic  distribution  and  dif- 
ferences by  size  of  farm  for  such  items  as  farm  acreage, 
principal  crop.s,  and  iniix)rtant  kinds  of  livestock,  farm  facili- 
ties, farm  equipment,  use  of  fertilizer,  soil  conservation  prac- 
tices, farm  tenure,  and  farm  income. 

Part  8. — Size  of  Operation  by  Type  of  Farm.  This  will  be  a  coop- 
erative special  rejKUt  to  be  prepared  in  cooperation  with  the 
Agricultural  Re.'search  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. This  report  will  contain  data  for  119  economic  sub- 
regions,  (essentially  general  type-of- farming  areas)  showing  the 
general  characteristics  for  each  type  of  farm  by  economic  class. 
It  will  provide  data  for  a  current  analysis  of  the  differences 
that  exist  among  groups  of  farms  of  the  same  type.  It  will 
furnish  statistical  basis  for  a  realistic  examination  of  produc- 
tion of  such  commodities  as  wheat,  cotton,  and  dairy  products 
in  connection  with  actual  or  proposed  governmental  policies 
and  programs.

INTRODUCTION 


The  purpose  of  this  report  is  to  present  in  one  publication 
most  of  the  detailed  data  compiled  for  the  1954  Census  of  Ag- 
riculture, on  the  use  of  fertilizer  and  lime.  The  increased 
use  of  fertilizer  has  been  one  of  the  striking  developments  on 
our  farms  during  the  last  few  decades.  The  increased  use  of 
fertilizer  plus  the  increased  use  of  insecticides  and  chemicals 
to  control  plant  insects  and  diseases,  the  use  of  improved 
varieties  of  crops,  the  more  timely  and  economical  perform- 
ance of  farm  operations  because  of  greater  farm  mechanization 
and  better  farm  management,  and  the  increased  use  of  irrigation 
have  resulted  in  an  increase  of  one-fifth  in  crop  production  per 
acre  during  the  last  15  years. 

The  Censuses  of  Agriculture  since  1879  have  obtained  some 
information  on  the  use  of  fertilizer  and  lime.  The  kinds  of 
data  obtained  at  each  Census  were  as  follows: 

1879— expenditures  for  fertilizer. 

1889— expenditures  for  fertilizer. 

1899— expenditures  for  fertilizer. 

1909— expenditures  for  fertilizer  and  manure. 

1919— expenditures  for  fertilizer  and  manure. 

1924— expenditures  for  fertilizer,  manure,  and  lime. 

1929  — expenditures  for  fertilizer,  manure,  and  lime;  tons  of 
commercial  fertilizer  purchased. 

1939— expenditures  for  commercial  fertilizer  and  for  lime,  sep- 
arately; quantity  of  commercial  fertilizer  purchased; 
and  tons  of  liming  materials  purchased. 

1944— expenditures  for  commercial  fertilizer  and  for  lime, 
separately. 

1954— expenditures  for  commercial  fertilizer  and  for  lime, 
separately;  quantity  and  acres  on  which  used  for  fer- 
tilizer and  lime,  separately;  and  for  fertilizer,  the  acres 
fertilized  and  amount  of  fertilizer  used  for  selected 
crops  or  groups  of  crops. 


DEFINITIONS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

The  definitions  and  explanations  presented  here  are  limited 
to  those  necessary  for  understanding  the  data  presented  in  the 
statistical  tables.  More  detailed  and  complete  definitions  will 
be  found  in  the  Introduction  to  Volume  II  of  the  reports  of  the 
1954  Census  of  Agriculture. 

A  farm.  — For  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture,  places  of  3 
or  more  acres  were  counted  as  farms  if  the  annual  value  of 
agricultural  products,  exclusive  of  home-garden  products, 
amounted  to  $150  or  more.  The  agricultural  products  could 
have  been  either  for  home  use  or  for  sale.  Places  of  less  than 
3  acres  were  counted  as  farms  only  if  the  annual  value  of  sales 
of  agricultural  products  amounted  to  $150  or  more.  Places  for 
which  the  value  of  agricultural  products  for  1954  was  less  than 
these  minima  because  of  crop  failure  or  other  unusual  condi- 
tions, and  places  operated  at  the  time  of  the  Census  for  the  first 
time  were  counted  as  farms  if  normally  they  could  be  expected 
to  produce  these  minimum  quantities  of  agricultural  products. 

For  the  1945  and  earlier  Censuses  of  Agriculture,  the  defi- 
nition of  a  farm  was  somewhat  more  inclusive.  From  1925 
to  1945,  farms,  for  Census  purposes,  included  places  of  3  or 
more  acres  on  which  there  were  agricultural  operations,  and 


places  of  less  than  3  acres  if  the  agricultural  products  for 
home  use  or  for  sale  were  valued  at  $250  or  more.  For  places 
of  3  or  more  acres,  no  minimum  quantity  of  agricultural  produc- 
tion was  required  for  purposes  of  enumeration;  for  places  of 
under  3  acres,  all  the  agricultural  products  valued  at  $250  or 
more  may  have  been  for  home  use  and  not  for  sale.  The  only 
reports  excluded  from  the  tabulations  were  those  taken  in  error 
and  those  with  very  limited  agricultural  production,  such  as  only 
a  small  home  garden,  a  few  fruit  trees,  a  very  small  flock  of 
chickens,  etc.  In  1945,  reports  for  places  of  3  acres  or  more 
with  limited  agricultural  operations  were  retained  if  there  were 
3  or  more  acres  of  cropland  and  pasture,  or  if  the  value  of 
products  in  1944  amounted  to  $150  or  more  when  there  were  less 
than  3  acres  of  cropland  and  pasture. 

Farms  reporting.- Farms  reporting  represents  the  number  of 
farms  for  which  the  kind  of  expenditure  or  use  of  fertilizer  or 
liming  materials  was  reported. 

Irrigated  farms.  — Irrigated  farms  are  farms  on  which  water 
was  applied  to  pastureland  and/or  to  land  from  which  crops  were 
harvested  in  1954.  Data  are  given  for  irrigated  farms  for  only 
17  Western  States,  and  Arkansas,  Louisiana,  and  Florida. 


Farms   by   economic 


class.— The 
3 


classification  of  farms  by 
criteria:     (1)  Total  value  of 


economic  class  was  based  upon 

farm  products  sold,  (2)  number  ofdays  the  farm  operator  worked 
off  the  farm,  and  (3)  the  relationship  of  the  income  received  from 
nonfarm  sources  by  the  farm  operator  and  members  of  his  family 
to  the  value  of  all  farm  products  sold.  Farms  were  classified 
into  two  major  economic  groups,  namely,  "commercial  farms" 
and  "other  farms."  Farms  in  each  of  these  two  major  groups 
were  further  classified. 

The  "commercial  farms"  were  classified  into  six  groups- 
Classes  I  through  V,  solely  on  the  basis  of  the  value  of  farm 
products  sold;  and  in  the  case  of  Class  VI,  on  the  additional 
basis  of  the  days  of  off-farm  work  and  the  relationship  of  income 
of  the  operator  and  membersof  his  family  from  nonfarm  sources 
to  the  value  of  all  agricultural  products  sold.  "Other  farms" 
include  part-time  farms,  all  farms  withavalueof  farm  products 
sold  of  less  than  $250,  and  abnormal  farms  (institutional  farms, 
experimental  farms  etc.).  The  accompanying  table  gives  the 
criteria  for  farms  in  each  economic  class. 

Farms  classified  by  type.— Commercial  farms  have  been 
classified  by  type  on  the  basis  of  the  relationship  of  the  value 
of  sales  from  a  particular  source,  or  sources,  to  the  total  value 
of  all  farm  products  sold  from  the  farm.  In  some  cases,  the 
type  of  farm  was  determined  on  the  basis  of  the  sales  of  an  in- 
dividual farm  product,  such  as  cotton,  or  on  the  basis  of  the 
sales  of  a  broader  group  of  products,  such  as  corn,  grain 
sorghums,  all  small  grains,  field  peas,  field  beans,  cowpeas, 
and  soybeans.  In  order  to  be  classified  as  a  particular  type, 
sales  or  anticipated  sales  of  a  product  or  a  group  of  products 
had  to  represent  50  percent  or  more  of  the  total  value  of  all 
farm  products  sold. 

Data   are  presented   for  the  following  type -of- farm  groups. 

All  crop  farms  comprise  cotton,  cash-grain,  vegetable, 
fruit-and-nut  farms,  and  other  field-crop  farms  (peanuts, 
Irish  potatoes,  sweetpotatoes,  tobacco,  sugarcane,  and 
sugar  beets)  on  which  the  value  of  one  of  these  groups  of 
crops  sold  accounted  for  50  percent  or  more  of  the  value 
of  all  farm  products  sold.

Other  farms 

All  livestock  farms  comprise  dairy,  poultry,  and  other 
livestock  farms  (cattle,  calves,  hogs,  sheep,  goats,  wool, 
and  mohair)  on  which  the  value  of  one  of  these  groups  of 
livestock  and  livestock  products  accounted  for  50  percent 
or  more  of  the  value  of  all  farm  products  sold. 

General  crop  and  livestock  farms  comprise  all  farms  on 
which  the  value  of  any  crops  and  livestock  sold  accounted 
for  70  percent  or  more  of  the  total  value  of  farm  products 
sold,  provided  the  farms  could  not  be  classified  as  all 
crop  farms  or  as  all  livestock  farms. 

All  other  farms  include  forest  product  farms,  nursery  and 
greenhouse  farms,  and  horse  farms. 

Farms  by  tenure  of  farm  operator.  — Farms  have  been  classi- 
fied by  tenure  of  operator  on  the  basis  of  the  arrangements  under 
which  the  farm  operator  controls  the  land  he  operates.  Data  are 
shown  for  the  following  tenure  of  farm  operator  groups; 

Owners,  part  owners,  and  managers  are  farm  operators 
who  own  all  or  part  of  the  land  they  operate  or  who  oper- 
ate farms  for  others  and  are  paid  a  wage  or  salary  for 
their  services. 

Tenants  rent  from  others,  or  work  on  shares  for  others, 
all  the  land  they  operate. 

Separate  data  are  given  for  cash  tenants,  all  share 
tenants,  croppers  (for  Southern  States  only),  and  other 
tenants. 

Cash  tenants  pay  a  cash  rental,  such  as  $10  per  acre 
or  $1,000  for  the  use  of  the  whole  farm. 

All  share  tenants  pay  as  rent  a  share  of  the  crops  or 
livestock  or  livestock  products,  or  both. 

Croppers  are  crop- share  tenants  whose  landlords  fur- 
nish all  work  power.  The  landlords  either  furnish  all 
the  work  animals  or  furnish  tractor  power  in  lieu  of 
work  animals.  Cropper's  usually  work  under  the  close 
supervision  of  the  landlords,  or  their  agents,  and  the 
land  assigned  them  is  often  merely  a  part  of  a  larger 
enterprise  operated  as  a  single  unit. 


Other  tenants  include  tenants  paying  a  fixed  quantity 
of  any  product;  those  who  pay  taxes,  keep  up  the  land 
and  buildings,  or  keep  the  landlord  in  exchange  for  the 
use  of  the  land;  those  who  have  the  use  of  the  land 
free;  and  others  who  could  not  be  included  in  one  of  the 
other  specified  subclasses,  and  tenants  for  whom  the 
rental  arrangement  was  not  specified. 

Crops  fertilized  in  1954.— Data  were  secured  in  the  1954 
Census  of  Agriculture  on  the  acres  fertilized  and  the  quantity 
of  fertilizer  used  for  six  groups  of  crops  in  each  State.  Of 
the  six  groups  of  crops,  three  were  the  same  for  all  States, 
namely: 


(1)  Hay  and  cropland  pasture 

(2)  Other  pasture  (not  cropland) 

(3)  Fruits,  vegetables,  and  potatoes 


The   three   crops   or   groups   of  crops  comprising  the  other 
three  groups  varied  by  States  as  follows: 

(1)  a.   Corn  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey,  Del-

Since  data  were  not  compiled  for  all  States  for  each  crop  or 
group  of  crops  listed  above,  the  acreage  fertilized  cannot  be 
related  to  the  acreage  of  these  crops  in  the  United  States.  The 
proportion  of  the  acreage  of  each  crop  in  1954  in  the  United 
States,  harvested  in  the  States  for  which  separate  data  for  the 
same  crop  fertilized  were  obtained,  was  as  follows:

Cropland  pasture  includes  rotation  pasture  and  all  other  crop- 
land that  was  used  only  for  pasture. 

Improved  pasture  includes  only  pasture,  not  cropland  pasture 
and  not  woodland  pasture,  on  which  one  or  more  of  the  following 
practices  had  been  used:  liming,  fertilizing,  seeding  to  grasses 
or  legumes,  irrigating,  draining,  or  controlling  weeds  or  brush. 

Acres  of  hay.-The  acres  of  hay  represents  the  total  acres 
of  land  from  which  hay  was  cut.  Sorghum,  soybean,  cowpeas, 
and  peanut  hays  were  excluded  from  this  total. 

Source  and  Reliability  of  Data  for  1954 

The  information  on  the  expenditures  for  fertilizer  and  lime, 
the  quantity  of  fertilizer  and  lime  used,  and  the  acreage  on 
which  used  was  collected  for  a  sample  of  approximately  20  per- 
cent of  all  the  farms.  The  data  given  in  the  tables  in  this  report 
represent  estimates  for  all  farms,  based  upon  data  tabulated 
for  the  sample.  (For  a  description  of  the  sample,  the  method  of 
compiling  the  data,  and  a  statement  of  the  reliability  of  estimates 
based  on  the  sample,  reference  should  be  made  to  the  Introduction 
to  Volume  11  of  the  reports  for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture.) 
The  data  for  counties  are  subject  to  considerable  sampling  error 
and  this  fact  should  be  considered  when  comparing  amounts  of 
fertilizer  used  as  reported  by  the  Census  and  by  other  sources 
and  when  comparing  the  acres  fertilized  for  each  crop  with  the 
acres  harvested. 

The  amount  of  fertilizer  used  relates  to  the  quantity  applied 
in  1954.  In  the  case  of  winter  wheat  and  other  fall  sown  crops, 
the  acres  fertilized  refer  to  the  acres  of  the  crop  planted  in  the 
fall  of  1954,  and  not  to  the  acres  harvested  in  1954.  In  the 
drought  areas,  in  the  case  of  some  crops,  the  acres  fertilized 
includes  the  acres  on  which  fertilizer  was  applied;  the  crop 
was  not  harvested  from  part  of  these  acres  because  of  crop 
failure.  The  total  acres  of  other  crops  to  which  the  acres  of 
other  crops  fertilized  have  been  related,  was  calculated  by  sub- 
tracting the  acres  of  hay,  fruits,  vegetables,  and  potatoes,  and 
two  other  selected  crops  from  the  acres  of  cropland  harvested. 
In  some  cases,  more  than  one  crop  was  harvested  from  the  same 
land  in  1954,  and  since  the  acres  of  each  of  these  crops  fertilized 
were  counted  as  acres  fertilized,  and  the  acres  of  cropland 
harvested,  regardless  of  the  number  of  crops  harvested  on  the 
land  in  1954,  were  counted  only  once,  the  acres  of  other  crops 
fertilized   may   exceed   the   calculated   acres   of  other   crops. 


For  counties,  the  data  on  acres  of  crops  fertilized  are  esti- 
mates based  upon  tabulations  for  a  sample  of  approximately  20 
percsnt  of  the  farms,  while  the  data  for  the  acreage  of  the 
various  crops  harvested  represent  totals  for  all  farms.  Thus, 
the  figures  on  acres  fertilized  may  differ  considerably  from 
the  acres  harvested  because  of  the  use  of  a  sample  to  obtain 
acres  fertilized. 


For  1954,  fertilizer  was  to  include  only  commercial  fertilizer 
or  fertilizing  material.  No  specific  mention  was  made  of  basic 
slag.  In  some  areas,  particularly  in  the  East  South  Central 
States  where  considerable  quantities  of  basic  slag  are  used, 
basic  slag  was  not  considered  a  fertilizing  material  by  some  of 
the  farm  operators  and  hence  was  not  reported.  Lime  and  liming 
materials  were  to  include  ground  limestone,  hydrated  and  burnt 
lime,  marl,  oyster  shells,  and  other  forms  of  lime. 

The  United  States  total  for  tons  of  fertilizer  used,  as  reported 
in  the  1954  Census,  was  about  15  percent  below  the  total  shown 
by  reports  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  based 
on  data  obtained  from  nearly  all  fertilizer  manufacturers.  The 
difference  in  data  from  these  two  sources  is  explained  largely 
by  the  exclusion  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  and  the  inclusion 
by  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  of  dried  manures, 
secondary  and  trace  nutrient  materials,  and  fertilizers  for  non- 
farm  purposes,  such  as  for  lawns,  parks,  golf  courses,  home 
gardens,  etc.,  and  the  underreporting  in  the  Census  of  the  quanti- 
ty of  basic  slag  used. 

The  data  presented  by  count  if  sand  those  presented  by  State 
economic  areas,  subregions,  and  generalized  type-of-farming 
areas  were  obtained  from  different  tabulations  and  will  differ 
slightly  because  adjustments  were  not  made  in  the  tabulations 
when  the  differences  were  not  significant  and  did  not  affect  the 
usefulness  of  the  data.  The  differences  are  equal  to  less  than 
one-half  of  one  percent  of  the  total  for  counties. 

Expenditures  for  1954.— The  expenditures  for  fertilizer  and 
lime  were  to  include  the  expenditures  for  the  farm,  including 
the  purchases  of  both  landlords  and  tenants.  Fertilizer  and  lime 
used  under  the  Agricultural  Conservation  Program  were  to  be 
reported  and  the  total  expenditure  was  to  represent  the  total 
cost,  without  any  deductions  of  Agricultural  Conservation  Pro- 
gram payments.  In  some  areas,  farm  operators  may  not  have 
known  the  amount  of  payments  made  by  the  Agricultural  Con- 
servation Program  and  may  have  reported  only  the  cost  paid  by 
the  farm  operator. 

Areas  for  which  data  are  presented.— Data  are  presented  for 
States,  generalized  type-of-farming  areas,  subregions,  economic 
areas,  and  counties. 

The  boundaries  of  the  generalized  type-of-farming  areas  are 
shown  by  the  map  on  page  XIV.  These  generalized  type-of- 
farming  areas  are  approximately  the  same  as  those  outlined  in 
1949  by  the  Bureau  of  Agricultural  Economics  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.  However,  much  of  the  data 
for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  were  compiled  by  subregions, 
and  it  has  been  necessary  to  use  the  data  for  these  subregions  to 
provide  data  for  the  generalized  type-of-farming  areas.  The 
boundaries  of  the  subregions  are  indicated  by  the  map  on  page 
XIII,  and  do  not  correspxand  exactly  with  the  boundaries  of  the 
generalized  type-of-farming  areas.  Table  IV  indicates  the  sub- 
regions  that  comprise  each  of  the  generalized  type-of-farming 
areas  and  gives  a  brief  description  of  subdivisions  included  in 
each  generalized  type-of-farming  area. 


USE  OF  FERTILIZER  AND  LIME 


The  same  generalized  type-of-farming  area  may  occur  in 
widely  distant  parts  of  the  country.  For  example,  some  parts 
of  the  Dairy  area  are  found  in  the  Pacific  Northwest  although 
most  of  them  are  in  the  Lake  States  and  the  Northeast.  The 
General  Farming  area  (VI)  is  concentrated  mainly  in  the 
Appalachian  region.  The  Fruit,  Truck  and  Mixed  Farming 
area  (1)  occurs  in  several  small  areas  over  the  country,  as  for 
example  on  the  Eastern  Shore  between  Chesapeake  Bay  and 
Long  Island,  in  Florida  and  in  Central  California.  The  Special 
Crops  and  General  Farming  area  (DC)  is  also  widely  scattered 
and  is  characterized  principally  by  production  of  rice,  sugar- 
cane, potatoes,  peanuts,  sugar  beets,  or  dry  beans.  Other 
type-of-farming  areas  are  identified  with  more  or  less  definite 
regions  such  as  Cotton  area  (VII)  in  the  South,  Feed  Grains  and 
Livestock  area  (V)  in  the  Corn  Belt,  Wheat  and  Small  Grains 
area  (III)  in  the  Central  Plains  States,  and  Range  Livestock  area 
(II)  in  the  Western  Mountain  and  Intermountain  regions. 

In  presenting  data  by  generalized  type-of-farming  areas,  it 
has  been  necessary  to  combine  entire  subregions  because  Census 
data  were  tabulated  only  by  subregions.  For  this  reason  some 
of  the  smaller  parts  of  one  generalized  type-of-farming  area 
may,  for  purposes  of  this  presentation,  be  included  in  another 
more  dominant  type-of-farming  area  in  the  region.  For  example, 
the  Maine  potato  area  is  included  along  with  the  Dairy  area,  as 
dairying  is  the  dominant  type-of-farming  area  in  the  Northeast. 
However,  tables  1,  2,  and  3  present  data  on  fertilizer  use  by 
smaller  areas— counties  and  State  economic  areas. 

State  economic  areas  represent  groupings  of  counties  within  a 
State.  Outside  metropolitan  areas,  the  State  economic  areas  are, 
in  general,  the  same  as  State  type-of-farming  areas.  A  map 
showing  the  boundaries  of  State  economic  areas  is  given  on  page 
XII.  In  table  1  presenting  figures  by  counties,  the  counties  have 
been  arranged  by  State  economic  areas. 

Expenditures  for  fertilizer  1879  to  1954.— Significant  changes 
have  occurred  in  the  use  of  fertilizer  during  the  last  75  years. 
In  terms  of  cash  outlays  by  farmers,  the  expenditures  for  com- 
mercial fertilizer  were  more  than  35  times  as  large  in  1954  as 
in  1879.  While  the  change  of  price  level  has  been  a  significant 
factor  affecting  the  increase  in  dollar  expenditures,  the  in- 
crease in  the  total  quantity  of  fertilizer  used  on  farms  has  been 
many  fold. 

Changes  in  use  of  fertilizer  and  lime.— Some  striking  regional 
changes  in  the  useof  fertilizer  in  the  United  States  have  occurred 
in  the  past  25  years.  In  1929  very  little  fertilizer  was  being 
used  in  the  Great  Plains  and  Western  States.  Most  of  the  ferti- 
lizer used  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  was  used  in  the  following 
States  or  areas;  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia, 
Florida,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Maryland, 
southeastern  Virginia,  southeastern  Pennsylvania,  northeastern 
Maine,  the  Connecticut  River  Valley  of  Connecticut  and  Mas- 
sachusetts, and  the  Los  Angeles  area  of  California. 

In  1954  commercial  fertilizer  was  used  on  123  million  acres 
of  cropland  and  pasture.  Lime  was  applied  to  11  million  acres. 
The  accompanying  map  shows  the  distribution  of  fertilizer  use 
in  1954.  About  half  of  the  acreage  fertilized  in  1954  was  in  the 
Corn  Belt,  Great  Plains,  and  Western  States.  In  1929  these 
areas  accounted  for  only  a  sixth  of  the  total  expenditure  made 
for  commercial  fertilizer  used  in  the  United  States.  About  two- 
fifths  of  the  expenditure  for  fertilizer  in  1929  was  concentrated 
in  the  Piedmont  and  Coastal  Plain  parts  of  North  Carolina, 
South  Carolina,  Georgia,  and  Alabama. 

Most  of  the  fertilizer  used  in  1929  was  applied  to  the  more 
intensively  cultivated  crops,  especially  to  cotton,  tobacco,  fruit, 
truck,  and  potatoes.  These  crops  have  continued  to  absorb  an 
important  part  of  the  fertilizer  applied,  but  several  other  crops 
and  pasture,  which  were  not  formerly  fertilized  to  any  great 
extent,  are  now  widely  fertilized. 


In  1954  commercial  fertilizer  was  applied  to  almost  123 
million  acres.  About  4  million  of  these  acres  comprised  im- 
proved pasture  other  than  cropland  pasture.  The  other  119 
million  acres  comprised  cropland  and  represented  more  than 
one-fourth  of  the  total  cropland  in  the  United  States.  In  1954 
commercial  fertilizer  was  applied  to  more  than  13  million 
acres  of  hay  and  cropland  pasture,  46.5  million  acres  of  corn, 
11  million  acres  of  wheat,  9.7  million  acres  of  cotton,  and  6.3 
million  acres  of  fruits,  vegetables,  and  potatoes.  This  means 
that  three-fifths  of  the  corn;  a  fifth  of  the  wheat  acreage;  about 
half  the  cotton;  and  two-thirds  of  the  fruit,  vegetables,  and 
potatoes  had  some  application  of  fertilizer  in  1954. 

Consumption  of  commercial  fertilizer  and  liming  materials 
in  the  United  States.— The  consumption  of  commercial  fertilizers 
in  the  continental  United  States  in  1954  was  almost  19  million 
tons,  an  increase  of  172  percent  over  the  7  million  tons  used  in 
1939.  The  most  rapid  regional  increase  was  in  the  Northern 
Plains  States.  More  than  twenty  times  as  much  fertilizer  was 
used  in  this  area  in  1954  as  in  1939.  However,  this  region  used 
less  fertilizer  in  1954  than  any  other  except  the  Mountain  States. 
The  greatest  tonnage  of  fertilizer  was  used  in  the  Corn  Belt, 
followed  by  the  Southeast  and  Appalachian  Regions.  These  three 
regions  include  the  only  States  using  more  than  a  million  tons 
annually.  North  Carolina  consumed  1.3  million  tons  in  1954, 
followed  by  Georgia  with  1.2  million  tons,  Florida  with  1.1  mil- 
lion tons,  Illinois  with  1  million  tons,  and  Indiana  with  1  million 
tons. 

The  use  of  liming  materials  in  1954  was  more  than  double 
that  of  1939.  Consumption  in  the  Northern  Plains  increased 
more  than  10- fold  during  this  period,  followed  by  the  Delta 
States  with  a  7  -fold  increase.  The  only  area  in  which  con- 
sumption dropped  was  the  Mountain  States,  where  there  was  a 
decrease  of  almost  75  percent.  Of  the  6  States  using  over  a 
million  tons  in  1954,  Illinois  used  the  largest  quantity,  2.5  mil- 
lion tons. 

Trends  in  use  of  fertilizer  and  of  liming  materials  since  1910 
are  shown  by  the  chart  on  page  XVII.  Consumption  of  fertilizer, 
relative  to  the  1947-49  average,  has  risen  each  year  since  1938. 
Currently,  consumption  in  terms  of  available  plant  nutrients,  is 
about  one  and  two- thirds  times  that  during  the  base  period 
(1947-1949).  Use  of  liming  materials  expanded  markedly  during 
the  period  1936  to  1947  when  this  practice  was  encouraged 
through  conservation  programs.  Following  1947,  consumption  of 
liming  materials  has  declined  substantially.  Differences  in  re- 
cent trends  in  use  of  fertilizer  compared  with  use  of  lime  re- 
flect farmers'  relative  evaluations  of  these  practices.  In  the 
case  of  fertilizer,  the  returns  to  the  farmer  are  quickly  obtained. 
Liming  materials  are  more  generally  regarded  as  capital  invest- 
ments and  the  returns  occur  at  a  much  slower  rate  than  for 
fertilizer.  The  decline  in  use  of  liming  materials  may  be 
greater  than  is  indicated  by  consumption  data  because  the  rising 
nutrient  content  of  fertilizers  means  that  less  calcium  or  mag- 
nesium bearing  materials  are  used  in  commercial  fertilizers. 

Use  of  fertilizer  by  generalized  type-of-farming  areas.— 
Variations  in  percentage  of  acreage  fertilized,  in  quantity  of 
fertilizer  used,  and  in  rates  of  application  per  fertilized  acre 
among  broad  type-of-farming  areas  are  indicated  by  data  in 
table  IV. 

The  quantity  of  fertilizer  used  was  greatest  in  the  Cotton  type- 
of-farming  area  (VII),  followed  in  order  by  Feed  Grains  and 
Livestock,  (V),  Dairy  (IV),  the  Fruit,  Truck,  and  Mixed  Farming 
(I),  and  General  Farming  (VI)  areas.  These  five  areas  account 
for  more  than  80  percent  of  all  fertilizer  used  in  the  United 
States  in  1954. 

More  than  30  percent  of  all  fertilizer  was  used  on  corn  in 
1954,  and  about  one-third  of  that  used  on  corn  was  used  in  the 
Feed  Grain  and  Livestock  type-of-farming  area  (V).  Even  in  the 


USE  OF  FERTILIZER  AND  LIME 


XI 


Cotton  area  (VII)  nearly  as  much  fertilizer  was  used  on  corn  as 
on  cotton.  About  one-seventh  of  the  total  quantity  of  fertilizer 
was  used  on  fruits,  vegetables,  and  potatoes,  and  57  percent  of 
the  fertilizer  applied  tothesecrops  was  usedin  the  Fruit,  Truck, 
and  Mixed  Farming  area  (I).  About  one-ninth  of  the  tonnage  of 
fertilizer  was  used  on  hay  and  cropland  pasture,  and  one-tenth, 
on  cotton.  Nearly  45  percent  of  the  fertilizer  used  on  hay  and 
cropland  pasture  was  used  in  the  Dairy  (IV)  and  the  Cotton  (VII) 
areas. 

The  average  amount  of  fertilizer  used  per  acre  fertilized  was 
higher  for  tobacco  than  for  any  other  selected  crop  for  which 
data  were  obtained  in  the  Census.  The  average  amount  applied 
per  acre  on  corn  ranged  from  nearly  400  pounds  in  the  Fruit, 
Truck,  and  Mixed  Farming  area  (I),  to  less  than  100  pounds  in 
the  Wheat  and  Small  Grains  area  (III).  The  average  rate  applied 
on  cotton  in  the  General  Farming  area  (VI)  was  about  1.4  times 
as  high  as  in  the  Cotton  type-of-farming  area  (VII).  The  average 
amount  used  per  acre  on  hay  and  cropland  pasture  and  on  im- 
proved permanent  pasture  approximated  or  exceeded  300  pounds 
per  acre  in  the  Fruit,  Truck,  and  Mixed  Farming  (I),  the  Dairy 
(IV),  the  General  Farming  (VI),  the  Cotton  (VII),  the  Tobacco 
and  General  Farming  (VIII),  and  in  the  Special  Crop  and  General 
Farming  (IX)  areas.  Only  in  the  Range  Livestock  (II)  and  Wheat 
and  Small  Grains  (III)  areas  were  average  amounts  used  per  acre 
on    hay    and    cropland    pasture    below    200   pounds   per  acre. 

Use  of  fertilizer  and  liming  materials,  by  State  economic 
areas . — Considerable  variation  in  fertilizer  practices  occurs  be- 
tween type-of-farming  areas  (State  economic  areas)  within  a 
State.  This  variation  usually  reflects  differences  in  soils,  type 
of  farming,  etc.  For  example,  table  2  indicates  a  wide  difference 
in  percentage  of  crop  acreages  fertilized  and  in  average  rates 
per  acre  between  State  economic  area  7b  and  areas  8  and  D  in 
Alabama.  Area  7b  is  in  the  Cotton  generalized  farming  area 
(VII).  State  economic  areas  8  and  Dare  in  the  Fruit,  Truck,  and 
Mixed  Farming  area  (1)  on  the  Gulf  Coast. 

Table  3  shows  fertilizer  practice  for  each  economic  area  in 
the  20  States  for  which  data  are  available  separately  for  irri- 
gated and  non-irrigated  farms.  For  the  20  States  as  a  whole, 
7.5  percent  of  all  crops  and  pasture  land  on  irrigated  farms  was 
fertilized  at  an  average  rate  of  349  pounds  per  acre.  For  non- 
irrigated  farms,  4.8  percent  of  the  crop  and  pasture  land  was 
fertilized  at  an  average  rate  of  205  pounds.    Similar  compari- 


sons are  available  for  the  other  crops  specified  in  table  3  for 
each  of  the  20  States. 

Use  of  fertilizer  and  liming  materials  by  economic  class. 
tenure  of  operator  and  tvpe  of  farm.— Data  on  use  of  fertilizer 
and  liming  materials  by  economic  class  of  farm,  tenure  of 
operator,  and  type  of  farm  are  presented  for  each  economic 
area,  by  States  and  for  the  United  States  in  tables  4,  5,  and  6. 

Except  in  the  South,  farmers  in  the  higher  economic  classes 
generally  fertilized  or  limedahigher  percentage  of  their  acreage 
of  crops  and  cropland  pasture  than  those  in  the  lower  income 
classes. 

A  higher  percentage  of  cropland  was  fertilized  on  the  all 
crop  farms  than  on  the  other  types  in  most  of  the  Northeastern, 
Appalachian,  and  Lake  States.  In  some  of  the  Corn  Belt  States  and 
in  the  Southeast,  the  percentage  of  acreage  fertilized  varied 
very  little  by  type  of  farm.  In  most  of  the  humid  areas,  the 
amount  of  fertilizer  and  lime  used  per  acre  was  higher  on  the 
all  crop  farms  than  on  general  crop  and  livestock  types  of 
farms.  The  quantity  of  liming  materials  applied  per  acre  was 
substantially  lower  on  all  types  of  farms  in  the  South  than  in 
the  Central  or  Northern  States. 

Generally  there  appeared  to  be  no  consistent  relationship 
between  quantity  of  fertilizer  or  liming  materials  applied  per 
acre  or  between  percentage  of  cropland  and  improved  permanent 
pasture  fertilized  or  limed  and  tenure  of  operator.  However, 
a  large  part  of  the  acreage  operated  and,  consequently,  a  large 
part  of  the  fertilizer  and  liming  material  used  and  most  of  the 
acreage  fertilized  or  limed  was  on  farms  of  owners,  part  owners, 
and  managers. 

Fertilizer  use  by  rateof  use  per  acre.— Tables  V  and  7  present 
data  for  selected  crops  and  selected  State  economic  areas,  for 
acres  fertilized  and  quantity  of  fertilizer  used  for  farms  classi- 
fied by  rate  of  use  per  acre.  The  data  given  in  table  V  are 
arranged  by  generalized  type-of-farming  areas.  The  distribution 
of  farms,  acres  fertilized,  and  amount  of  fertilizer  used  by  the 
rate  of  application  differ  significantly  among  areas  for  most  of 
the  selected  crops.  For  example,  the  distribution  of  farms  by 
rate  of  use  of  fertilizer  for  corn  is  significantly  different  for 
Dairy  areas  in  New  York  and  Wisconsin.  Type  of  soil,  climate, 
kind  of  crops  grown,  etc.,  have  significant  effects  upon  the  rate 
of  use  of  fertilizer  by  farmers.
