The importance of commercial, or manufactured fertilizers, is recognized by all intelligent farmers, and their use is well nigh universal. The number of tons sold in Alabama during the past five years, according to the record kept in the office of the Commisssoner of Agriculture, is as follows: Season of 1887-88.................. 62,575 tons. r 1888-89................. 71,605 " « 1889-90................. 99,818 " c" 1890-91..................115,735 1891-92................. 83,323 " The decrease of about 28 per cent. in sales during the present season, as shown in the above statement, is not attributable to a lack of appreciation of the value of fertilizers, so much as to the depreciation in the price of cotton and reduction in the acreage placed under cultivation. In Georgia, over three hundred thousand tons were sold last year, while during the season now closing, the sales have not much exceeded two hundred thousand tons. A similar decrease has prevailed generally in the cotton-growing States. The market value of manufactured fertilizers has undergone very little, if any, change since last year, and in determining values this year the same figures are used. The law requires the Commissioner to publish annually, an estimate of the commercial value of all fertilizers offered for sale within the State, basing his calculations on the lowest per cent. of each constituent guaranteed by the manufaeturer. The following values have been used in making these calculations: Water-Soluble Phosphoric Acid........ Citrate" " ........ Nitrogen. ......................... Potash.............................. 7 cents per pound. 7 4" 192 4 5 " " c As stated in a former bulletin, while these figures are only approximate, they will be found useful to the farmer by showing him the relative value of different goods and enabling him to make selections of brands best suited to his wants. The calculations are easily made, as follows: Multiply the percentage of Water-soluble and Citrate soluble Phosphoric Acid by $1.50; the per-centage of Nitrogen by $3.90; the Potash by $1.00, and add these products together. The sum will be the commercial value of one ton of the goods. Take, as an example, a fertilizer which shows the following composition: Water soluble Phosphoric Acid..............7 per cent. Citrate- " " "....... 2 Nitrogen........................... ... 2 " Potash. ........ .................... 1Then, $1.50 multiplied by 9=$13.50 3.90 " " 2= 7.80 1.00 14-- 1.50 Total value...............$22.80 The valuations adopted by the Commissioner of Georgia are much less than the above, but represent not what the farmer has to pay for his purchases delivered at his nearest depot, but in the language of the Commissioner, "the wholesale cash value in those cities where the goods enter the State or where they are manufactured. Any one buying at a distance from Savannah should add the freight to that point, to obtain its local wholesale price." These goods are as cheap in Alabama as in Georgia. The schedules of valuations adopted by other States do not differ materially from the valuations in Alabama. A difference is made in values in some States depending on the source from which the important constituents are derived. Bulletin No. 29, recently issued by the Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station, gives the following trade values for 1892: Phosphoric Acid, Soluble in Water..............7 cc" " Ammonium Citrate.... Found in Ground fish, bone, etc.. " 1litrogen, in Ammonia Salts..............174 " :Nitrates ......................... .. Fish, Blood and Meat ......... ..................... " Cotton Seed. Potash as High Grade Sulphate................... " Kainite............................ " Muriate4. .............. cts. per lb. 7 7 15 16 15 5 " " " " " " " " " " 4 " " " " " 41 "The above trade values," says the bulletin, "are the average figures at which in the six months preceding March 1st, the respective ingredients could be bought at retail for cash in the larger markets, in the raw materials, unmixed. NATURAL PHOSPHATES. The rapidly increasing use of commercial fertilizers, especially of Phosphates, caused serious apprehensions, a few years ago, that the supply of raw material would become exhausted or entirely inadequate to meet the demand. Fortunately for Southern agriculture, new and extensive phosphate deposits have been discovered in Florida in which the supply seems to be practically inexhaustible. A recent work on "Phosphates of America," by Dr. Francis Wyatt, gives an interesting and reliable account of these deposits. Speaking of several counties in Southwestern Florida, he says, "this section of Florida is virtually underlaid with a nodular phosphate stratum of a thickness varying from a few inches to thirty feet, and covered by an overburden that may be fairly averaged at about eight feet." A large number of companies have been formed to work these deposits, but their development is yet in its infancy. A visit was made to some of these localities during the past winter and samples collected near Lacoochee, where the Southern Peninsular and Orange Belt Railroads intersect, and from a deposit on the Withlacoochee river some thirty miles from the town of Lacoochee. These were analyzed with the following results: Analyses of Natural Phosphatesfron Florida, recently Made in the Alabama State Laboratory.

No mining, except to a limited extent at Lacoochee, had been done on the property visited. The overburden, or superincumbent mass of sand and earth, is from one to ten or twelve feet thick and the phosphate deposit from a few feet to twenty or even thirty. The importance of these deposits is so great that speculation has run wild and many companies have .been formed with capital stock reaching up into the millions. The following table from Dr. Wyatt's work on phosphates, above mentioned, gives the average composition of a large number of samples from Florida and is of much interest : Dr. Wyatt's Table of Analyses of Florida Phosphates. Bowlders (carefully selected, 120 samples)....... Bowlders and debris (237 samples) ............. Soft white phosphate (148 samples) ............. Pebble from Peace river (84 samples).......... Pebble from drift-beds, Polk Co. (92 samples) 80.49 74.90 65.15 61.75 67.25 2.25 4.19 9.20 4 20 9 25 5.47 2 19 1.90 4.27 3.60 1 70 2.90 14.20 3 00 10 40 These analyses show high grade phosphates. Some, especially foreign, manufacturers object to buying phosphates which contain more than three per cent. of Iron and Alumina, and hence a large quantity of this material has not found a market. A few manufacturers, aware of the agricultural value of South Carolina floats, have established mills in Florida for pulverizing these aluminous deposits which are generally soft, and selling them to farmers for use without being converted into acid phosphate. They are very cheap and their use has proved valuable. Experiments are now in progress on the Alabama Experiment Station, under control of the Chemist, to determine by analysis and experiment the agricultural value of these soft Florida phosphates when used alone, with cotton seed, and with cotton seed meal, and the results will be reported in due time. If decomposing organic matter, as is believed, renders insoluble phosphates available as plant food to any considerable extent, the question of cheap phosphates will be solved and the farmer enabled to purchase fertilizers at a much less cost than at present.
