RELATIVE COMMERCIAL VALUES.
[ Extract from Circular No. 103.]
Tlie estimation of “ Relative Commercial Values” of fertilizers lias
Itoett the uniform praclie*e of tlie Department since the first fertilizer
bulletin was published in June, IN75. ^Circular No. 12, Old Series). It
was not the intent ion of the Commissioner to indicate hy the publica¬
tion ot these values the absolute prices ul which fertilizers should I#g*
wild to the farmer, lull simply to enable tlie famer to compare tlie coni
merviai quality and probable agricultural vulueof Ihediflcrcnt brands
wilh each other. The idea was well expressed in the following extract
from Circular No. 9, (New Series), issued July 24, I860:
“If each fertilizer contained hut one valuable ingredient, thepercent
•gi*s of (hat ingredient would correctly indicate the comparative value
of the fertilizers. But, us the large majority of the brands contain two
or more ingredients dillering widely in agricultural and commercial
value, and iu tlie |>en*eiitsiges iu which they enter into I he com posit i< ui,
Il is found very convenient lo add together the calculated commercial
value, iu dollars and cents, of each ingredient, as a basis of comparison
•lid a guide In the purchaser.”
1 ly the usual correspondence, and otherwise, tlie Commissioner has
ascertained that there lias lieen a material advance in (he cost of mate¬
rials of which commercial fertilizers an* manufactured, due, pn dm lily,
to tlie unusually large consumption of fertilizers tlie past year. This
advance makes it priqier lo raise tlie valuations on which are tlie Im.-is
•f the calculations of “Relative Com menial Values” in the following
te I des. For the* season of lNN7-’.SS the following were the valuations of
elcuieiiLs:
Available Phosphoric Acid . . . . 6 cents per pound. |#nmul.
Ammonia....... . ... 14 cents je*r
Potash jIv). O.] . . • . . . . . 5 cents jier pound.
For I he present season the following has beeu fixed by the Conmiis
•loucr us the Valuations:
Available Phosphoric Acid.......7 cents per pound. jmmiii.
Ammonia ..............15 cents |s>r pouml.
Potash [Ki. O.] . . .......5celita per
This is an increase of one cent per pound in the valuation each nT
available phosphoric acid, and ammonia, as compared with la-t season,
r—>—ti remaining the same, and w ill account for the higher rtiuhvc
SUPPLEMENTAL CHOP TS rd a- a PC H O —i d tc > *4 H o T3 > c O P H d K a c o w c a a -*1 C * % r
commercial values of brand* of fertilizers which show no higher analysis
than they did last season. The effect on relativeva/urs, of this'X’hange
in the valuations of elements is tints 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 c£0.40 jier ton ; while the same
fertilizer having precisely the saint analysis, will be rated at i.tr
ton the present season.
COM POSTS AND HOME-MADE FERTILIZERS.
Tlie following from Circular 102, January 24, 1SSS, is republished
for tlie benefit of farmers who desire to utilize all their home manurial
materials to tlie 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 and sun, tlie foikAving formula is recommended:
FORMULA NO. 1.
Stable Manure . . 6ort pounds.
Green Cotton Seed 650 pounds.
buperphosphute . - 700 pounds.
Making a ton of 2,000 pounds.
If the compost is intended for use on soils particularly deficient in
popish, tin* proportion of cotton seed and stable manure may be reduced
50 pounds em it, and UK) pounds of Kainit used instead. Tlie formula
would then lie: .*
FORMULA NO. 2.
Ft able Manure .... . . . . 000 pounds.
Cotton Feed (green) . . . . . . 000 pounds.
Ftqierpbospltale . . . . . . . . 700 pounds.
Kainit........ . . . .100 pounds.
Making a ton of 2,000 pounds.
These ingredients may be varied in proportions to adapt tlie resulting
composts to different soils or crops, but either of tlie above w ill lie found
to give satisfactory results in every class of soils and on all of our cul¬
tivated crops.
To tlie above it may be added that if tlie quantity of stable manure
available for composting is either relatively greater or less than tlie pro¬
portions indicated iu tlie above formula, the proportions may be disre¬
garded without detriment to the value of tlie practical results.
The poiut to be kept iu view is to preserve approximately the relative
TABLES of Analyses and Relative Commercial Values of Commercial Fertilisers, Chemicals, Etc., Inspected, Analysed
and Admitted to Sale in Georgia Luring the Season of 1888-80, to January 5, 1880.

proportions of the three elements, ammonia, phosphoric acid and
potash. This may be substantially accomplished by preserving thf
relative quantities of cotton seed, acid phosphate and kainit, as givefe
in the second formula. This would give about one per cent, of ammonia,
and three*fourths of one percent, of pouish for every live percent, of
phosphoric acid. The addition of stable or lot manure in whatever
quantities would not materially alter these relative percentages, but
would simply reduce each iu about tbs same ratio, and to the extent of
such addition.
If decorticated cotton seed (the kernels of the seed) be used instead of
the whole seed, use half the quautity.
If the meal be used, reduce tlie quantity to one-third of the weight of
cotton seed in tit* formula given. These substitutions, in the quantities
suggested, will not materially alter the relative proportions of tlie throe
elements, out will make a more concentrated fertilizer.
If the proportion of stable manure be greater or less than stated iu
the fornufhi, increase or diminish the quantity applied per acre, ao*
cordingly.
Farmers can save much of the immediate profits on sales of fertilizers
if they will club together and buy from first hands, in twenty-ton lots
and upwards, the ingredients required, to-wit: acid phosphate, cottoa
seed nteal and potash salts. If purchased in bulk, that is, unsacked,
tlie saving will lie one dollar per ton on account of sacks. There is no
mystery whatever in mixing or manipulating fertilizers. A fanner can
mix the ingredients substantially as well as the manufacturer.
A single Ion of acid phosphate (14 percent, available) can probably
be delivered at any railroad depot in Georgia at $17 per ton, cash, and
freight from Charleston or Savannah. In larger lots the price would b»
proportionately less. A single ton of cotton seed meal would probably
cost $-4 at the mill, and a single ton of kainit $15 at the ports. Now
suppose tho following mixture:
FORMULA NO 3.
1,400 pounds acid phosphate, (at ports) f 10 50
450 pounds cotton seed meal, (at mill) (i ui)
150 pounds kainit, (at ports)..... 1 10
2,000 pounds, or one ton . . . . . . . $17 00
Now add average freight front Savannah and tho cost will be in the
neighborhood of $21 per ton. Such a mixture would analyze about:
Available phosphoric acid 51.00 per cent.
Ammonia........ 1 .NO per rent.
l'olash...... ... 1.00 per cent.
