This is the 44th annual fertilizer bulletin.’ It contains in-
formation regarding the Texas Fertilizer Laws, statistics con-
cerning the sale of fertilizer during the 1945-1946 season, and an-
alyses of samples of fertilizer sold by different manufacturers.

A total of 305,510 tons of fertilizers was sold during the per-
iod from September 1, 1945, through August 31, 1946. This ton-
nage was about 40 percent higher than that sold in 1944-1945.
The 4-12-4 and 5-10-5 grades of mixed fertilizers accounted for
over 80 percent of the mixed goods sold. Superphosphate (20
percent) and ammonium nitrate accounted rfor 79 percent of the
fertilizer materials sold.

Tables are given which compare the valuations of the fer-
tilizers sold by different manufacturers, as based upon actual
analyses, with the guaranteed valuations and selling prices, and
show the extent to which the various fertilizer manufacturers met
or exceeded their guarantees.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN 1945-1946
J. F. Fudge, State Chemist, and T. L. Ogier, Associate State Chemist

This is the 44th annual fertilizer bulletin published in compliance with
the Texas Fertilizer Law, which requires that the State Chemist shall
issue at least one bulletin annually setting forth the analyses of fertilizers
made under the provisions of the fertilizer law, the operations of the law,
and other information pertaining to the sale of fertilizer in Texas.

Some Requirements of the Texas Fertilizer Law

The laws governing the sale of commercial fertilizers in Texas are
found in Chapter Twelve of Title Nineteen of the Revised Criminal Stat-
utes, 1925, and in Chapter Five of Title Four of Texas Civil Statutes, 1925.
A summary of some important requirements of the law is given below. For
further requirements of the law, penalties, definitions, and other detailed
information, reference should be made to the full text of the laws. Copies
of these laws will be furnished by the State Chemist upon request.

Materials covered by the law. All mixed fertilizers and fertilizer
materials and all other substances which have or are claimed to have a
beneficial effect on the soil or to promote the growth of crops, come under
this law, with the exceptions of lime, limestone, marl, unground bones,
stockpen manure, barnyard manure, or the excrement of any domestic
animal in case that said manure or excrement has not been dried or man-
ipulated or otherwise treated, or is not claimed to have a value of more
than $4.00 a ton.

Registration. Before a fertilizer is offered for sale or sold in Texas,
it must be registered with the State Chemist of Texas. All registrations
expire on August 31 of each year, and new applications for registration
must be submitted for each year. Application blanks for registration are
furnished by the State Chemist of Texas, College Station, _Texas, upon
request. One copy of the application blank must be filled out and sent
to the State Chemist, together with a copy of the printed bag or tag to be
used. Such bag or tag must meet the requirements of the fertilizer law.
Wording on the printed bag or tag must agree exactly with the wording
on the application for registration, and no change may be made in the
wording of the bag or tag after it has been registered. Any such change
requires a new registration.

The application for registration must state all of the materials used
in the fertilizer, including the filler or conditioner, and these materials
must be used in all batches. A change may be made only if the change
meets the requirements of the law and the State Chemist is notified.

No brand name identical with or so similar to a brand name previously
registered by another manufacturer as to lead to confusion can be accepted.
No name which is misleading as to the ingredients of the fertilizer can be

6 BULLETIN NO. 684, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

accepted. The grade of mixed fertilizers should be part of the brand
name, for example, Jupiter 20% Superphosphate or Mars 5-10-5 fertilizer.

Branding. The law requires the following information to be printed
on the bag or on a tag attached to the bag:

Net weight of contents of the bag.

Name of fertilizer in full.

Name and address of manufacturer, manipulator, or guarantor.

Guaranteed analysis (in the order given below):

Nitrogen, percent

Available phosphoric acid, percent
Potash, percent

Nitrogen refers to the total nitrogen (N) present, Such terms as

“ammonia” or “equivalent to ammonia” cannot be used.

Available phosphoric acid (P205) must be guaranteed in all mixed
fertilizers and in all fertilizer materials, with the following exceptions.
Total phosphoric acid may be guaranteed in bone meal, tankage or other
similar products, but where this is done, no guarantee of available Phos-
phoric acid can be used. If it is desired to claim available phosphoric acid
only, the guarantee must take the form set forth above.

Potash (K20) refers to potash soluble in distilled water.
guarantee or term can be used.

No other

Inspection tax tags. In order to finance the inspection of fertilizers
and the collection and analysis of official samples of fertilizer, experiments
relative to the value of fertilizers, and for certain other purposes, the law
imposes an inspection tax of 25 cents per ton upon all fertilizers sold or
offered for sale in Texas. This tax is paid by means of tax tags issued
by the State Chemist. Request for tags should be addressed to the State
Chemist of Texas, College Station, Texas, accompanied by a remittance
of $12.50 for each 1,000 tags for 100-pound packages. Tags ordered with-
out remittance will be shipped C.O.D. These tags must be attached to the
bag by the manufacturer before shipment is made. Tax tags cannot be
used after August 31 of the year issued, and the law does not permit the
State Chemist to redeem any unused tax tags.

Tax tags do not need to be attached to fertilizer materials sold to
manufacturers for manufacturing purposes.

Bulk sales. Fertilizer in bulk for manufacturing purposes can be
shipped only to the factory of a manufacturer who has registered fertilizer
for sale in Texas.

Fertilizer in bulk cannot be sold to dealers, but dealers may register
fertilizers in their own names and the fertilizer can then be sold after being
bagged and tagged by them.

Fertilizer in bulk may be sold by manufacturers, manipulators, or guar-
antors to persons, individuals, or firms for their own use on their own
lands, but not for resale or distribution, provided authorization to make
such sales has been issued by the State Chemist, The inspection tax must
be paid upon all such sales, and the purchaser must be furnished with tax

_.._....,_. Mm“..- -_...._.___..l.. .._.s_. 4M‘

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN 1945-46 7

tags covering the amount of fertilizer sold. All authorizations to sell
fertilizer in bulk expire each August 31.

Report of sales. A report of each sale or shipment of fertilizer in
or into Texas must be mailed to the State Chemist within three days of
such sale or shipment. Reports of sales in bulk to manufacturers must be
marked “for manufacturing purposes”. Reports of sales in bulk to indi-
viduals for their own use on their own land must be marked “bulk sale to
customer”. Summary reports of sales covering periods decided upon by
the State Chemist may also be required.

Advertisements. Any false or misleading printed statements con-
cerning a fertilizer is prohibited by law; when such statements are made,
the fertilizer is misbranded.

Fertilizer Grades to Be Sold During 1946-194‘!

The grade of a mixed fertilizer is stated in numbers representing the
guaranteed percentages analysis of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid,
and water-soluble potash. For example, a grade of 5-10-5 means that the
fertilizer is guaranteed by the manufacturer to contain 5% nitrogen, 10%
available phosphoric acid, and 5% potash, Fertilizers are frequently re-
ferred to by these numbers, which form a short and accurate description
of the fertilizer. The term grade may also refer to the percentage of a
constituent in a fertilizer material; superphosphate for sale in Texas is
registered as containing 18%, 19%, 20% or 45% available phosphoric acid.
Wherever practicable, the grade of a fertilizer or fertilizer material should
be included as part of the full name of the fertilizer required on the bag or
tag.

The grades of mixed farm fertilizers sold in Texas have been limited
in number for 20 years. This limitation and standardization assists the
farmer to become familiar with the different kinds of fertilizer, enables him
to decide more readily on the proper kind to be used, enables the agricul-
tural specialist to make definite recommendations, and reduces the cost of
manufacture and handling, thereby reducing the cost of the fertilizer to the
consumer. The grades of mixed farm fertilizers to be sold in Texas during
a given year are decided upon by the Texas Fertilizer Committee, after
a public hearing at which manufacturers and others interested may pre-
sent recommendations. This public hearing is usually held in cooperation
with fertilizer control officials, agricultural specialists, and manufacturers
of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The list of
approved grades is published in the annual fertilizer bulletin and may also
be obtained upon request sent to the State Chemist.

The grades of mixed fertilizers approved for the coming year, ex-
tending from September 1, 1946, through August 31, 1947, are the fol-
lowing:

0-14-7, 4-8-8, 4-12-4, 5-10-5, 6-12-0, 6-30-0, 8-8-8, 10-0-10, 10-10-0,
10-20-0, 11-48-0, 12-15-0, ad 16-20-0.

Brands and Trader-marks Registered with the State Chemist

The law prohibits the use of a brand or trade-mark identical with or so
nearly similar to that of a name previously registered with the State
Chemist as to lead to uncertainty, confusion or fraud, and requires the
State Chemist to publish annually a list of brands or trade-marks regis-
tered with him. The following is a list of brands and trade-marks regis-

tered with the State Chemist during 1945-1946:

vTotal Tonnage of Fertilizers Sold During 1945-1946 Season

A total of 305,510 tons of fertilizers was sold during the year from
September 1, 1945, through August 31, 1946. This tonnage is compared in
Table 1 with tonnages sold during other years. Tonnages given in Table
1 are based on actual sales as reported by manufacturers, and not upon

the number of inspection tax tags sold, which is usually a little larger l

than the actual sales reported. Cottonseed meal sold as feed but used as
fertilizer is not included in tonnages. Sales during 1945-1946 were about
40 percent higher than during 1944-45. Significent increases in sales have
occurred nearly every year since the 1932-33 season, when the sales amount-
ed to only about one-tenth of those during the past sason.

Tonnage Sales of Different Grades of Fertilizers

The tonnage of different grades of mixed fertilizers and fertilizer ma-
terials are given in Table 2, for‘ periods extending from July 1, 1945, to
Dcember 31, 1945, from January 1, 1946 to June 30, 1946, and the total from
July 1, 1945 to June 30, 1946, These periods were used because they are
in accord with the periods almost universally used by the fertilizer manu-
facturers, by the United States Department of Agriculture, and by many
States, and are those recommended for national adoption by the Committee
on Fertilizer Grades and Ratios of the American Society of Agronomy to
provide a uniform basis for estimating the needs of the fertilizer industry
of the United States.

A total of 180,802 tons of mixed goods was sold during this period.
The 4-12-4 grade amounted to 57 percent and the 5-10-5 grade amounted
to 25 percent of this total. Thus, while eleven grades of mixed fertilizer

were approved by the Texas Fertilizer Committee, two grades accounted

for 82 percent of the total mixed goods sold. Four grades (including
6-8-4 and 4-8-8) accounted for over 91 percent of the total. A total of
91,198 tons of fertilizer materials were sold (not including 22,511 tons of
18% and 20% superphosphate owned and distributed by the Production and

distributed by the Production and Marketing Administration, United States Department of
Agriculture.

M a r k e ting Administration). Of this quantity, 20% superphosphate
amounted to 53 percent and ammonium nitrate, to 26 percent.

l Valuation per Ton

The Texas fertilizer law permits a deficiency of less than 10 percent
in one plant food to be compensated by an excess of another, but allows a
deficiency of not more than 4 percent in the total valuation of the fertil-
izer. If the deficiency exceeds 4 percent of the valuation, a rebate must
be paid by the manufacturers to the dealer or consumer. If paid to the
dealer, the dealer must pay the refund to the purchaser. A calculation of
the guaranteed valuation and of the valuation found in a given fertilizer
sample must therefore be made, The valuation also sums up the value
of the three principal constituents (nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and

potash) shown in the guarantee or found in the analysis into a single"

figure, which is convenient for comparative purposes.

The calculation of the valuation requires a specific valuation for each
of the three constituents. The following prices per pound and per unit

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN 1945-46 - 11

(1 percent of a ton, or 20 pounds) were used for this calculation in 1945-
1946:

Price per pound Price per unit

Nitrogen 3 .13 $ 2.60
Available phosphoric acid .07 1.40
Total phosphoric acid in tankage and bone meal .............................. ._ .05 1.00
Total phosphoric acid in rock phosphate .......................................... .. .015 0.30
Potash .07 1.40

The valuation is calculated by multiplying the percentage of each
constituent by the valuation per unit, and adding the products. The fol-
lowing is an example of the calculation of the valuation of a 5-10-5 fertili-
zer:

Nitrogen 5 X $2.60 = $13.00
Available phosphoric acid 10 X 1,40 : 14.00
Potash 5 X 1.40 : 7.00

Guaranteed valuation $34.00

The valuation guaranteed and the valuation found are used for com-
parative purposes in a number of the following tables.

.other causes. The retail price includes handling costs, carrying charges,

and the dealer’s profits, as well as the cost of the plant food used in the

different places, these figures are not correct for any particular locality,
but represent averages only, and are for purposes of comparison. The
prices were collected by the inspectors from retail merchants handling fer-
tilizers. Grades used extensively near the factories might average a lower
price than those used at a distance on account of lower transportation costs.
The fertilizers with the lowest costs (of plant-food) are given first in the
table.

Cost of Nitrogen. The cheapest source of nitrogen was ammonium
nitrate, followed by 8-8-8, nitrate of soda, and 5-10-5. Sheep manure was
the most expensive source of nitrogen, but very little is used except for

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN 1945-46 13

lawns and gardens. Of the farm fertilizers, 4-12-4 was the most expen-
sive source of nitrogen. Due to the cost of mixing, the cost of nitrogen was
greater in most of the mixed fertilizers than in nitrogen materials.

Cost of Phosphoric Acid. The cheapest source of phosphoric acid was

47% superphosphate, followed in order by 19%, 20%, and 45% super-

phosphate. Phosphoric acid was most expensive in sheep manure, followed
by 4-12-4, 6-12-0 and 6-8-4.

Cost of Potash. Muriate of potash furnished the cheapest source of
potash, followed by 8-8-8 and 0-14-7.

Sulphur and Sulphur Carriers

Sulphur and sulphur carriers, while not usually considered fertilizers
in the ordinary usage of the term, come within the jurisdiction of the
Texas fertilizer law when applied to soils to promote the growth of crops.
A total of 9,398 tons of sulphur and of 2,250 tons of sulphur earth were
sold during the year, principally in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The
value of sulphur or of a material carrying sulphur for acidifying soils de-
pends upon the quantity of sulphur and sulphuric acid in the material.
Three samples of soil sulphur were analyzed, with the following results:

% %

Southern Acid and Sulphur 99.50 99.69
Stauffer Chemical Company 99.50 99.70
K-W Chemical Company 99.50 99.15

Two samples of a material called “Me-Co” (90071 and 90072) were
collected by the inspector at La Feria, Texas. This material was sold by
the Texas Earth Company of San Antonio, Texas, and belonged to W. C.
Sherwood and others of La Feria, Texas. This material was being sold il-
legally because the company had not registered their product in accordance
with provisions of the Texas Fertilizer Law. Chemical analysis did not
give any indications of value to either the plant or the soil. About 90
percent of the samples consisted of sand and water.

the averages given. In nearly all cases, the valuation found exceeded the
guaranteed valuation.

Whenever any lot of fertilizer is 4 percent or more below the guaran-
teed valuation, the law requires all persons who have sold this lot of fer-
tilizer to make good the deficiency to all purchasers. This rebate is paid
by the manufacturer to the dealer and by the dealer to the customer. The
number of lots on which such rebates were paid by each manufacturer is
also shown in Table 5. Considering the great demand for and the limited

_ supply of materials and the difficulty of securing competent labor, the

fertilizer trade is to be commended upon the relatively low number of de-
ficient samples found.

How to Get Free Analysis of Fertilizers

Purchasers of commercial fertilizers for their own use (but not for

 

.._.._...-_...___ “Anraaxak...” _

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS» IN 1945-46 15

sale), can secure a free analysis of a sample provided they take a legal
sample. Those who desire the free analysis of a sample of commercial
fertilizer should write for the form, “Application for Free Fertilizer An-
alysis,” to the State Chemist, College Station, Texas, before taking a
sample. The proper sampling of a fertilizer requires care, and the law
requires it to be taken in a certain way so that a fair sample is taken. If
the sample is not properly taken, it does not represent the fertilizer sam-
pled, and the analysis may be better or poorer than the goods actually are.
This privilege of a free analysis applies only to fertilizers tagged, and sold
under the fertilizer law and to samples properly taken so that they; repre-
sent the goods sampled.

Analyses of Fertilizers, 1945 - 1946

A total of 717 samples of fertilizers and fertilizer materials was col-
lected during the year by fertilizer inspectors from the goods being sold
in many towns and cities of Texas. The chief places of sales were inspec-
ted several times. These samples were analyzed by official method of the
Association of Official Agricultural Chemists of North America, as is
required by law. Analytical work and inspection was done by T. L. Ogier,
E. J. Deszyck, Waldo Walker, Vera Otto, and C. B. McLarry. The analyses
are shown in Table 6 at the end of this bulletin.

Summary

This bulletin constitutes the 44th annual report of the operation of
the Texas fertilizer laws, and covers the period from September 1, 1945
through August 31, 1946.

The tonnage of fertilizers and fertilizer materials sold during this
period amounted to 305,510 tons, an increase of about 40 percent over the
tonnage sold during the preceding year. The 4-12-4 grade amounted to
over one-half of the total mixed goods sold and 20% superphosphate
amounted to over one-half of the fertilizer materials sold.

The grades of fertilizer to be sold in Texas during the 1946-47 period
are listed.

The relation of the guaranteed valuation to the valuation found upon
analysis of samples from various manufacturers is shown, Rebates were
paid upon 23 lots of fertilizers out of a total of 717 lots analyzed.

Analyses of 717 samples of official samples collected by the fertilizer
inspectors are given.
