SYNOPSIS

This Bulletin contains statistics of fertilizer sold in Texas.
The tonnage sold increased from 13,500 tons in 1905-06 to
126,180 tons in 1923-24; there was a decrease to 121,747 tons
in 1925-26; and there were large decreases in 1914-15- and
1920-21. Sales by months are largest in January, February,
and March, with the heaviest movement usually in March.
Fertilizer consumption by counties is shown by a table and a
map. The largest consumption is in the Northeastern part of
the State. The tonnage of various formulas is given for the
first four years, and an estimate made of the average com-
position of all fertilizer for the State and for selected counties.
Estimated prices of plant food are given. The sales of fer-
tilizer in the spring are partly related to the price of cotton
in the preceding fall and winter. This is shown by statistical
methods.

FERTILIZER STATISTICS FOR TEXAS
G. S..FRAPS

A Texas fertilizer law Was first passed in 1899. The law was changed

in 1911, effective September 1, and has“ not been changed since. Vari-

ous statisti.cs concerning fertilizer have been ‘collected during this

period of time. Requests are constantly being received for informa-

tion of various kinds; some of this information is available, but much
of it is not. The object of this Bulletin is to present statistics which
have been collected for a number of years.

Tonnage Sold

The number of tons of fertilizer sold each year as reported by the
manufacturers is given in Table 2.

Table 2 also contains the tonnage based on tax tags sold. This is
larger than the sales actually made, as some of the tags are not used.
No figures are given for tag sales before 1911-12; tags were printed
separately for each brand of fertilizer, which made it necessary for the
manufacturers to order more than they needed. The excess was re-
deemed at the end of the season. Tags have not ‘been redeemable
since 1911.

The sales increased in 1905 to 1914 from 13,500 tons to 77,400 tons,
although there was a recession in 1909-10. The sales dropped in
1914-15 to 17,500 tons. There was a large crop of cotton in the

6 BULLETIN NO. 350, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
preceding year, accompanied by tl1e outbreak of the World, War M"
a low price for cotton. 

Table 2.——Fertilizer sales in Texas in tons

Date Reported by Manufacturers Tag Sales "

 

The sales increased from 1914-15 to 1917-18. There was a drop‘
in 1918-19, followed by an increase in 1919-20. In 1920-21 there was‘
another decided decrease in sales, caused by the depression atthat,
time, but sales then increased rapidly t0 126,180 tons in 1923-24.:
This was the largest tonnage yet sold.

Table 3 shows the fertilizer tonnage based on tag tax sales for some ‘
of the other states. The amounts of fertilizer sold in Texas, Arkansas, N
and Louisiana are nearly the same. The sales are small compared 5
with those in North Carolina and Georgia.

Sales by Months

Sales of tax tags expressed in tons of fertilizer by months are given’ 
in table 4. Table 5 contains the same tag sales expressed in percent-

ages of the total sales for the year. Table 6 contains sales in tons as H

reported monthly by manufacturers, expressed in percentage of the
total sales.

It is to be noted that the largest tag sales occur in January, Feb- 

ruary, and March, while the heaviest shipments are made in February,

The tonnage sold by the manufacturers show somewhat different
results from that shown by the tag sales. The actual shipments take
place a little later than the tag sales. Purchases of tags in the early
part of the season may be used on shipments made much later. The
two may be compared by means of the last two columns of Table 6.

Sales by Counties

The Texas fertilizer law requires the manufacturers to report each
sale or shipment to the State Chemist, within three days.

Table 7 contains sales by counties for several years as tabulated
from the reports above mentioned. This tabulation gives an idea of
the relative use of fertilizers in the various counties of the State, but
it is not strictly correct. Fertilizers shipped into one county may be
used in an adjoining county. The reports of the manufacturers are
sometimes not complete and shipments are sometimes reported twice,
and these errors are, of course, not uniformly distributed.

The map shows the distribution of fertilizer sales by counties for
1921-25. The greatest consumption of fertilizer is in the northeastern
part of the State.

Formulas of Mixed Fertilizer Sold-

A large number of fertilizer formulas has been registered annually
until 1925-26. About 165 different formulas Were registered in 1923-
24. Table 8 contains a list of the formulas of all fertilizers registered
in 1924-25. The adoption of standard fertilizer formulas probably in-
cleased the number of (litferent formulas registered the first year, but
the number has been decidedly reduced during the season of 1925-26.
There are many decided advantages in having a small number of for-
mulas for fertilizers.

Table 9 shows the tonnage of the standard. formulas and some other
fertilizers sold in 1924-25 and of practically all fertilizers sold in
1925-26. The cottonseed meal included is that tagged With fertilizer
tags. Considerable amounts of cottonseed meal tagged With feed tags
are, no doubt, used for fertilizer in Texas, but there is no Way of find-
ing out how much. About '70 per cent of the sales consist of 10-3-3,
10-2-2, 12-4-4 and of 18 _per cent and 16 per cent acid phosphate.

Average Composition of All Fertilizer Sold

It is practically impossible to estimate the average composition of
all fertilizers sold, though it may be closely estimated for 1925-26
from the data in Table 9. For previous years, an estimate can be
made by assuming that the fertilizer is sampled in proportion to the
amount sold, and averaging all the samples reported in the annual
fertilizer bulletin. This assumption is, of course, not correct, but this
method is the only one at present that offers an approximate estimate
of the average composition of fertilizer sold in Texas for past years.
Table .10 contains such estimates with the nearly correct average for
1925-26 calculated from Table 8. A study of the table shows that
the estimated composition may vary quite Widely from the actual.
This is due to the fact that the number of samples analyzed of each
particular brand is not in proportion to the quantity of the brand sold.

The average guaranteed valuation of fertilizers sold in 1925-26 was
$29.79 a ton; the average retail selling price Was $35.20; and the
total retail value was $4,269,207.

Composition of Fertilizers Sold by Counties

Table 11 contains, for a few selected counties, the average compo-
sition of all fertilizer, of all mixed fertilizer, and thepercentage of
tons sold unmixed, the percentage of phosphoric acid sold unmixed,
of nitrozen sold unmixed, and of potash sold unmixed. These calcu-

lations were made from the reports of the various manufacturers and-

are subject to the same errors previously mentioned in connection with
county sales.

The fertilizer sold in Webb County is used chiefly for onions; that
in J elferson County was chiefly for rice, and in the other counties for
mixed farming with cotton probably predominating.

Assumed Valuations

A Table 12 contains the assumed valuations of phosphoric acid, p0 :'
and nitrogen. I

Tables 13 and 14 contain the relation between the valuations 
retail selling prices of several grades of fertilizer. The prices w
collected by the fertilizer inspectors at the time of sampling 7_
fertilizer. ‘ f-

Table 15 contains the approximate prices paid for plant food, c”
culated'on the assumption that Table 12 contains the correct ratio '
prices, and that Table 14 contains correct proportions. The pri F
secured in this way are, of course, only approximate. 5

Relation of Fertilizer Sales to Price of Cotton

The sales of fertilizer in Texas have shown a tendency to increase
as the State grows older, the land remains longer in cultivation, and‘
the need for fertilizer becomes greater on account of decreased pro <5
ducing power of some of the soils. Familiarity with fertilizer also r
encourages their use. There are fluctuations in the amounts of fer
tilizer used from year to year, and there seems to be some relation
between the amount of fertilizer used and the price at which cotton‘)
is selling previous to the planting season. 

Table 16 contains the sales of fertilizer in Texas and the prices of;
middling cotton on the first of the month in New Orleans. Thesei
prices were kindly furnished by Mr. Hester, secretary of the New

FERTILIZER STATISTICS FOR TEXAS 23

Orleans Board of Trade. The prices in each list begin with the year
first given and continue into January next year, as the fertilizer season
begins September 1. It is also desirable t0 estimate the relation as
early as possible. The relation between the fertilizer sales and the
price of cotton has been worked out by statistical methods, and the
correlation factors found are given in Table 1'7.

The figures show that there is a relation between the fertilizer sales
of one year and the prices of cotton during previous months. This
relation is to be expected. It is also to be expected that the relation
will not be close, as there are other important factors which affect the
sales of fertilizers.

FERTILIZER STATISTICS FOR TEXAS 27

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

(1) The Texas fertilizer law was passed in 1899 and changed in
.1911. Fertilizer sales have increased from 13,500 tons in 1905 to
. 126,188 in 1923-24.

' (2) Sales are given by years and months. The percentage of sales

' is also given. The heaviest sales occur in March.

(3) Sales by counties since 1911 are given, with a map for 1925-
26. The counties in the northeastern part of the State use the most
fertilizer. ‘

(4) The number of formulas of mixed fertilizer have greatly de-

g creased in the last few years, which is a decided advantage to manu-
“facturers and consumers. A table containing the large number of
formulas registered in 1924-25 is given.

(5) The quantity of each kind of fertilizer sold is shown for
1925-26. About '70 per cent of the sales were 10-3-3, 10-2-2, and 12-4-4,
with 18 per cent and 16 per cent acid phosphate.

(6) The average composition of all fertilizer sold is given for

1925-26, with estimates for other years based on analyses. A com-
parison of the actual composition with the calculated composition shows
-_ that the calculated composition is far from accurate.

' (7) The average composition is given of fertilizer sold in a few
selected counties for a period of several years.

(8) Tables relating to valuations and prices are given.

, (9) There is some relation between the sales of fertilizer in the
spring and the prices of cotton in the fall and winter preceding.
