ing made in this race. I feel thati
1 received a sufficient vote to be
the nominee of my party. I realize
that my friends have done all they
could in the matter, and for this 1
will always be deeply grateful.
Your friend.

The fertilizer taw.
The fertilizer law guarantees to
the farmer the percentages of plant
food represented on the tag and is
the only proper method of deter
mining the value of the fertilizer.
If you decide that you wat t to use
commercial fertilizer, be sure that
you consider well the guaranteed
analysis. We have inspectors cn
the road whose duties it is to take
samples of the various shipments
of fertilizer made into all parts of
the state. The law directs the in
spector in the performance of his
duty and is very clear on the mat
ter of taking samples.
This feature of the law as well
as the laws making apptooriations
for enforcement, limits the Depart
ment to making analyses of only
those samples taken by inspectors
and taken in en official manner.
We have appropriations to pay for
the analysis of the samples taken
by the inspectors if they are taken
properly.
By this means we have been en
abled to insure the consumer that
he is getting the amount of plant
food guaranteed in the guaranteed
analysis. The companies are re
quired under the law to send a no
tice of each shipment to the De
partment. and the inspectors are
immediately informed as to where
the shipment was directed so that
we may keep up with every sale of
fertilizer made in the state.
When the inspector sends in his
samples we have an analysis
made in the manner prescribed by
the law and compare it with the
analysis as guaranteed by the com
pany who sold the goods. We also
keep a complete record of all analy
ses so that we may know at any
time how well the standard is kept
up and for the public information.
1 am especially anxious that the
farmers who do use commercial
fertilizer inform themselves on what
is meant by the analysis and grade.
The analysis shows the percentage
of plant food contained in the fer
tilibzer, and since it is the plant
food you are buying, you should
know that the greater the percent
age of plant food the better the
fertilizer. The higher the grade of
fertilizer, the better the fertilizer,
generally speaking. A high grade
fertilizer should have at least 10
pe' cent phosphoric acid, 2 per
cent nitrogen and 3 per cent potash.
A standard grade should have at
least 9 per cent phosphoric acid.
1.65 per cent nitrogen and 2 per
cent potash. Anything below 9
1.63-2 is low grade. These per
centages represent the standard,
but if the percentages are equal in
commercial value to what the law
says each grade shall be. the grade
does not change. For example,
phosphoric acid and potash are
equal in value, and one per cent
could be taken off the percentages
of phosphoric acid and added to the
potash and it would not change the
grade, because they are of equal
commercial value. Nitrogen is
worth four times as much as pot
ash and phosphoric acid and runs
up the grade of the fertilizer faster.
Write for the bulletin on fertil
izers and use it in studying the
problems that confront the man
who uses commercial fertilizer. A
knowledge of these matters is very
necessary in knowing what the fer
tilizer law is doing for you, ana hew
to bu/ yeour fertilizer. 1 will also
gladly send you a copy of the law
upon request.
