RELATIVE COMMERCIAL VALUES.
[Extract from Circular No. 103.]
The estimation of “ Relative Commercial Values” of fertilizers has
been the uniform practice of the Department since the tirst fertilizer
bulletin was published in June, 1875. (Circular No. 12, Old Series). It
was not the intention of the Commissioner to indicate by the publica
tion of these values tin* absolute prices at which fertilizers should he
sold to the farmer, but simply to enable the tamer to compare the com
mercial quality and probable agricultural value of the different brand*
w ith each other. The idea was well expressed in the following extract
from Circular No. 9, (New Series), issued July £4, 1880:
14 If each fertilizer contained but one valuable ingredient, the percent
ages of that ingredient would correctly indicate the comparative value
of the fertilizers. But, as the large majority of the brand* contain two
or more ingredients (littering widely in agricultural and commercial
value, and in the percentages in which they enter into the composition,
it is found very convenient to add together the calculated commercial
value, in dollars and cents, of each ingredient, as a basis of comparison
and a guide to the purchaser.”
By the usual correspondence, and otherwise, the Commissioner has
ascertained that there has been a material advance in the c<ist of mate
rials of which commercial fertilizers are manufactured, due, probably,
to the unusually large consumption of fertilizers the past year. This
advance makes it proper to raise the valuations on which are the basis
of tlie calculations of ‘‘Relative Commercial Values” in the following
tables. For the season of 1887-’BB the following were the valuations of
elements:
Available Phosphoric Acid 6 cents per pound.
Ammonia 14 cents per pound.
Potash [K2. O.) . 5 cents per pound.
For the present season the following has been fixed by the Commis
sioner as tlie valuations:
Available Phosphoric .aid 7 cents per pound.
Ammonia 15 cents per pound.
Potash [K2. O.] . . 5 cents per pound.
This is an increase of one cent per pound in the valuation each of
available phosphoric acid, and ammonia, as compared with last season,
**~u*4i remainiuj? the same, aud will account for the higher relative
SUPPLEMENTAL CROP REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OF GEORGIA IOR 1888.
commercial vaiuen of brands of fertilizers which show no higher analysis
than they did last season. The effect on relative values, ot this change
in the valuations of elements is thus illustrated : A fertilizer containing
ten per cent, of available phosphoric acid and three per cent, of ammo
nia would have been rated last season at £20.40 i>er ton ; while the same
fertilizer having precisely the same analysis, will be rated at $25.00 per
ton the present season.
COMPOSTS AND HOME-MADE FERTILIZERS.
The following from Circular 102, January 24, 1888, is republished
for the benefit of farmers who desire to utilize all their home manuria!
materials to the best advantage, in connection with purchased commer
cial fertilizers and chemicals:
formula for composts.
If the stable manure and cotton seed have been protected from waste
by exposure to rain aud sun, tlie follow ing tormina is recommended.
formula no. 1.
Stable Manure 650 pounds.
Green Cotton Seed 650 pounds.
Superphosphate 700 pounds.
Making a ton of 2,000 pounds. #
If the compost is intended for use on soils particularly deficient in
potash, the proportion of cotton seed and stable manure may be reduced
50 pounds each, and 100 pounds of Kaiuit used instead. The fonpula
would then he:
FORMULA NO. 2.
Stable Manure 000 pounds.
Cotton Heed (green) 000 pounds.
Superphosphate 700 pounds.
Kaiuit 100 pounds.
Making a ton of . 2,000 pounds.
These ingredients may he varied in proportions to adapt the resulting
composts to different soils or crops, but either of the above w ill be found
to give satisfactory results in every class of soils and on all of our cul
tivated crops.
To the above it may be added that if the quantity of stable manure
available for composting is either relatively greater or less than the pro
portions indicated in the above formula, the proportions may be disre
garded without detriment to the value of the practical results.
The point to be kept iu view is to preserve approximately the relative

proportions of the three elements, ammonia, phosphoric mid
potash. This may be substantially accomplished by preserving q
relative quantities of cotton seed, acid phosphate and kaiuit, > \
in the second formula. This would give about one per cent, of an
and three-fourths of one percent, of potash for every tive p,. r ,, ,? .
phosphoric acid. The addition of stable or lot manure in v*i,
quantities would not materially alter these relative percent:
would simply reduce each in about the same ratio, and to the ex; t ()f
such addition.
If dtcorticaled cotton seed (thekernels of the seed) be used i
the whole seed, use half the quantity.
If the meal be used, reduce the quantity to one-third of the u ~
cotton seed in the formula given. These substitutions, i.i th
suggested, will not materially alter the relative proportions ot u ~
elements, but will make a more concentrated fertilizer.
If the proportion of stable manure be greater or less than s; I ,
the formula, increase or diminish the quantity applied per v
cord i ugly.
Farmers can save much of the immediate profits on sales of n
if they will club together and buy from first hands, iu twenty-:
and upwards, the ingredients required, to-wit: acid phospli.c ,
seed meal and potash salts. If purchased in bulk, that is, :
the saving will be one dollar per ton on account of sucks
mystery whatever in mixing or manipulating fertilizers. Afa
mix the ingredients substantially as well as the manufacturer.
A single ton of acid phosphate (14 percent, available) ca >
be delivered at any railroad depot in Georgia at sl7 per ton, < -
freight from Charleston or Savannah. In larger lots the price v
proportionately less. A single ton of cotton seed meal would | v
cost $24 at the mill, and a single ton of kaiuit sls at the j.oits \ ,
suppose the following mixture:

neighborhood of s2l per ton. Such a mixture would analyze al nii;
