It indicates that there may be a short
age of commercial plant food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are prin
cipaly that strikes have Interfered
with the production of materials. In
addition, there has been some diffi
culty lu obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific, the long drawn
out strike of miners in the rock phos
phate fields of Florida prevented a
■apply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the dif
ficulty of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, it hi
claimed, bus put the manufacture ol
- acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
As to ammoniates or nitrogenous
materials, it is pointed out that the
coal and steel plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output of mil-
phate of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are so much In demand
as feed as to be unavailable or too ex
pensive to use as fertilizers. Ni
trate of soda is being shipped in largei
amounts, but not as cheaply as was
expected. It seems that the demand
for nitrate of soda in the orient, «a
penally, has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
As for potash, there is going to be
u fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount of potash has beeu shipped
from Germany to France, while them
is quite an accumulataion of stocks
of desirable American-made potash on
hand.
The Foil Improvement Committee
of the Southern Fertilizer Association

American Courts were passing on

being utered amid thundering ap
