COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS REPORT FOR 1934
STATUTE A N D REGULATIONS REGARDING COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
The term "commercial fertilizers" as used in the Connecticut fertilizer statute includes any and every substance imported, manufactured, prepared or sold for fertilizing or manuring or soil amendment purposes, except barnyard manure and stable manure that have not been artificially treated or manipulated, marl and lime.
The seller is responsible for the proper labelling of each package of fertilizer, for the registration of each brand sold or offered for sale, for the payment of the required analysis fee and for the payment of the tonnage tax. If, however, proper labelling, registration and payments of analyses fees and of tonnagc tax have been provided for by the manu- facturer or by another responsible person, all sellers of such brands are relewed from the above mentioned requirements. The retailer, therefore, should assure himself that the reqxire~nents of the law have been met by the manufacturer of the brands wliich he handles, or himself be prepared to meet all these requirements.
It frequently happens that a manufacturer or jobber sells fertilizer materials wlrich are tire Products of, and which are registered by, another firm or indzvidual. Distributors in such cases should sell such materials by the exact brand names under which they are registered in order that there may be no mistake as to the identity of the brands. Any change in the brand names, or farlure to make the identity of the brand and its manufacturer clear, makes the distributor liable for the registration of the product as his own brand.
The law exempts from registration, and from other requirements re- ferred to, only (1) fertilizers passing through the state in transit; (2) fertilizers and fertilizer materials shipped to regular fertilizer factories to be used for manufacturing purposes; and (3) fertilizers and fertilizer chemicals sold to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station for experimental purposes.
- N ~ E : Analyses reported in this bulletil~ were made by Messrs. Nolan, Mathis and
Walden; microscopic examinations by Miss Shepard; inspection and sampling by Mr. Churchill; and compilations by Mrs. Vosburgh.

R E C E N T CHANGES AFFECTING FERTILIZER CONTROL
LABELLING
Mixed fertilizers offered for sale in this State during the year 1933 were held to the requirements of a regulation issued by this Station June 25, 1931. The regulation is as follows:
"In view of the resolution passed by the Fertilizer Control Officials oi the thirteen Northeastern States favoring (1) the statement of 'grade' as a part of the brand name of mixed fertilizers, e.g., XX Potato Manure 4-8-4; (2) that the significance of 'grade' shall be nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water-soluble potash, and in that order, e.g., XX Potato Manure 4-8-4 meaning 470 nitrogen (not 470 am- monia), 8% available phosphoric acid and 4% rvatrr-soluble potash; (3) that state- ments of grade and of guaranteed analysis shall be in whole numbers; and (4) that statements oi guaranties shall include only minimum percentages of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and water-soluble potash; and inasmuch as these recommendations are in accord with rules adopted by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists. which rules are required by Sec. 5 of the Connecticut fertilizer law to be iollowcd in administering the act; this Station will, on and after January 1, 1932, observe the foregoing procedure and urge its adoptior~ by all concerned with the manuiacture. sale and distribution of fertilizers and by those charged with the dissemination of iniormation concerning fertilizers and fertilizer problems.
"In accordance with this uuderstanding and acceptance of terms and procedure this Station will expect (1) that mixed iertilizer offered for registration for the year 1932 and thereafter will carry as a part of the brand name, whenever possible. the grade of the mixture; (2) that the statement of the grade will be in whole numbers; (3) that the significance of the numerals expressing the grade, and the order of them, \\fill he nitrosen (not ammonia), available phosphoric acid nnd water-soluhle potash; (4) that the statement of guaianteed analysis will giye the percentages, in \vI\.hole numbers only, of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and water-soluble potash, and in that order; and ( 5 ) , that tags or stcnrils upon bags will aarec with the registration.
"111 the case of mixtures in which phosphoric acid is derived from sources (e.g., bone and tankage), in which available phosphoric acid cannot be adequately evaluated by present arialytical methods, total phosphoric acid may be stated ill the guaranteed analysis, and the statement of grade may be omitted. In the statcmcnt of grade, total phosphoric acid may not be substituted for available."
While this regulation applies to mixed fertilizers only, it is recom- mended that guaranties for raw materials follow the spirit of the ruling so far as may be. Nitrogenous raw materials, for example, should he guaranteed in terms of nitrogen, but not necessarily in whole numbers; bone and tankage should show guaranties expressed in terms of nitrogen and total phosphoric acid rather than ammonia and bone phosphate of lime as formerly.
In the case of mixed fertilizers in which the phosphoric acid is derived from materials such as bone, in which present analytical methods do not adequately evaluate available phosphoric acid, .it was regarded as advisable to omit the statement of grade and allow total phosphoric to he given in the guaranteed analysis, preferably instead of available, but if desired, in addition to it. In any case the qualifying phrase, "All the phosphoric acid is derived from bone", is permitte?.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Phosphoric acid, insoluble in ammonium citrate solution, has been de- ternlined this year according to the revised methods adopted by the Asso- ciation of Official Agricultural Chemists a t the annual meeting October, 1931, x\.Iiereby a 1-gram charge of fertilizer is used instcad of 2 grams and tlie time of digestion in ammonium citrate solution increased from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
DEFINITIOXS O F FERTILIZER !dATERlrZLS AND I N T E R P R E T A T I O S O F T E R M S USED I N
FERTILIZER C O S T R O L
For the purpose of bringing abor~t a hetter understanding among control oficials and the fertilizer industry as to the identity of fertilizer materials and the significance of tenns used in interpreting results of analysis, a special committee of the Association of Oficial i\gricultural Chemists was appointed in 1921 to consider this question and from time to time pro- nouncements have been made.
The following definitions and interpretations are now official.'
ACIDULATED FISII TANKAGE, ACIDULATED FISH SCRAP
Acidulated fish tankage, acidulated fish scrap, is the rendered product derived from fish and treated with sulfuric acid.
ACTIVATED SEWAGE PRODUCTS
Activated sewage products are those made from sewage freed from grit and coarse solids and aerated after being inoculated with micro-organisms. The re- sulting flocculated organic matter is withdrawn from the tanks, filtrated with or without the aid of coagulants, dried, ground, and screen'ed.
Ammoniated superphosphate is a product containing superphosphate and/or dis- solved bone and nitrogenous compounds, but without the addition of potash.
ANALYSIS
Analysis, as applied to fertilizers, designates the percentage composition of the product expressed in terms of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in their various iorms.
ASAES FROM LEACAED \YO00
Ashes from leached wood are utileached ashes resulting from tlie burning of wood that has been exposed to or digested in water o r other liquid .wlvent, a s in the extraction oi dyes, so that a part of the plant food has been dissolved and removed.
BASIC PHOSPIIATE SLAG
Basic phosphate slag is a by-product in the manufacture of steel from phosphatic iron ores. The product shall he finely ground and shall contain no admixture of -

INTERPRETATIONS
ACTIVITY OF WATER-INSOLUBLE NITROGEN IN FERTILIZERS
The alkaline and neutral permanganate methods distinguish between the better and the poorer sources of water-insoluble nitrogen; they do not show the percentage availability of the material. The available nitrogen of any product is measured only by carefully conducted vegetation experiments.
( a ) The methods shall be used on mixed fertilizers containing water-insoluble nitrogen amounting to three-tenths of one per cent (0.3%) or more of the weight of the material. If a total nitrogen exceeds the mi~limum guarantee and is ac- companied by a low activity of the insoluble nitrogen, the over-run shall be taken into consideration in determining the classification of the water-insoluble nitrogen.
(b) Tile water-insoluble nitrocen in mixed fertilizers showing an activity bcloxv fifty per cent (50%) by the alkaline method, and also below eighty per cent (80%) by the neutral method, shall be classed as inferior. This necessitates the use of hoth methods, also the provision as to over-run in (a) , before classifying as infcrior.
AMOUNT OF CHLORINE PERMISSIBLE I N FERTUlZERS I N WHICH TEE POTASH IS CLAIhlED AS SULPHATE
Chlorine in mixed fertilizers in which the potash is claimed as sulfate shall not exceed one-half of one per cent (0.570) more than what is called far in the minimum potash content hased on the definition for sulfate of potash formulated by the cornmiltee. Calcalate as follows: 0.05 times the percentage of potash found plus 0.5.
BRAND NAME M INCLUDE ANALYSIS OR GRADE OF FERTILIZER
The analysis or grade of a fertilizer should he included with its brand name. and so used by the manufacturer on sacks and in printed literature and by the control otlicial in his reports and publications.
FERTILIZER FORMULA
A fertilirer formula shall express the quantity and grade of the crude stock mate- rials used in making a fertilirer mixture. For example: 800 pounds of 16 per cent superphosphatc. SO0 pounds of tankage (7.40 nitrogen and 9.15 total phosphoric acid), and 400 pounds of salphate of potash-magnesia (twenty-six per cent (26%), potash).
FINELY GROUND AS APPLIED TO BASIC PHOSPHATE SLAG
Finely ground in the definition of basic phosphate slag shall refer to actual size of particles a s determined by the use of standard sieves, as fallows: seventy per- cent (70%) o r more shall pass a 100-mesh, and ninety per cent (90%) or more shall pass a 50-mesh sieve.
FORM OF NITROGEN I N C.4LCIUM CYANAIIIDE
The nitrogen in calcium cyanamide shall be considered as being of organic nature.
TIIE TERM LIME AS APPI.IED TO'FERTILIZERS
The term lime shall not he used in the registration, labelling, or guaranteeing of fertilizers or fertilizing materials, unless the lime is in a form to neutralize soil acidity, such as the oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate, or equivalent magnesia compounds.
ORDER OF TERMS
The order of terms in mixed fertilizers shall be nitrogen first, phosphoric acid second, and potash third.
D e f i n i t i o n s of Fer t i l izer Mate r i a l s 11
NAME OF A FERTILIZER MATERIAL USED AS THE BRAND NAME OR PART OF TAE BRAND NAME OF A MIXED FERTILIZER
When the name of a fertilizer material is used ar part of the brand name of a mixed fertilizer, as for example blood, bone o r fish, the nitrogen o r phosphoric acid shall be derived from or supplied entirely by the material named. When the name of a fertilirer material is used as a brand or as part of a brand and the nitrogen and phosphoric acid is not supplied by the material named, the word brand shall follow the name of the material.

11. RA\V >fLI-\TEI:I:\LS C1ITEI:LY V:\LL7:ZBLE FOR P H O S P H O R I C ACID
SUPERPHOSPHATE
Superphosphate is a ram material of basic importance in tlie fertilizer industry. I t is made by a process originated by Liebig in 1840. In the Unitcd States superpliospliate is made by treating phosphate rock with sulfuric acid. Tlic finished product contains 16 per cent of availal~le plios- phoric acid. "Douhle superphosphate" is a siniilar product made hy so treating phosphatc rock that practically all of tlie calcinln is converted into mono-calcium phosphate. Double phosphate contains 32 per cent of avail- . . able ackl.
Fifteen official samoles of s u ~ e r ~ h o s ~ l i a t e and one of the 32 per cent . . . grade (double superpl;osphate) were analyzed. All met or exceercd guar- anties for available phosphoric acid except in one case. In that the de- ficiency was less than 0.2 per cent and not colisiderahle.
.\nalyses are given in Table 3.
PRECIPITATED BONE PHOSPHATE
Precipitated bone phosphate is a by-product in the manufacture of glue irom hones. The oliosohoric acid in this material is cliieflr in the form of . . dicalciuln phosphate.
One official sample was examined and the available pllosplioric acid found to he considerahlv in excess of tlie euaranty. Three satnples were exa~nined - tor purchasers.

5247. Ed. E p ~ e r t . I-Iartiord; sample take,? at the iactor?. Potash iound. 42.3870; phosphoric acid. 2.48%.
Because of tlteir variable composition cottonhull ashes are xcnct-;~lly snlil on a unit basis.
Forty-nine samples of this material were submitted by purcl:aseri ior analysis. Potash ranged iron1 22 to 43 per cent. Phosphoric acid varied between 1.8 and 6.3 per cent but was generally within the nnrromrr limits of 2 to 3 per cent.

\TI. MIXED FERTILIZERS
In this group there are 171 official samples of complete fertilizers, four supplying only nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and one supplying only phosplioric acid and potash, making a total of 176.
Eleven samples were examined for purchasers. Analyses of official samples are given in Table 9. A gen~r;ll sumnlary
of this table is as follows: Total number.01 samples .............................. 176 Samples deficient in:
one item .............................. 32 ............................. two items 5
three items ............................ 0 37 I'ercenlage of samples meeting gltaranties in all respects 79 Total rruaranties made :.. ............................. 523 Guaranties not met:
nitrogen ............................... 22 available phosphoric acid ............... 5 potash ................................ 15 42
IJerccntage of guaranties met .......................... 92 Samples showing commercial deficiencies exceeding $1.00
per ton ........................................... 4 Percentage of samples showing deficiencies exceeding
$1.00 per ton ..................................... 2.3
Tlie proportion of samples substantially meeting guaranties has increased notably in recent years. In 1923 the proportion was only 55 per cent. I t has increased gradually since then being 74 to SO per cent since 1930: and this year it is again nearly 80 per cent.
The proportion of samples showing commercial deficiencies exceedi~ig a value of $1.00 per ton has decreased. In the period from 1923 to 1929 this proportion varied from 7 to 17 per cent; since 1930 it has not ex- ceeded 3 per cent, and this year it is only a little over 2 per cent.
Tlie samples showing commercial deficiencies in excess of $1.00 per ton this year are as follows:
No. 5345 Standard \\'holesale Phosphate and Acid Works No. 5357 Summers Fertilizer Ca. No. 5785 Summers Fertilizer Co. No. 5591 Synthetic Nitrog-en Products Corp.
A summary showing the distribution of chemical deficiencies and th percentage of guaranties met in tlie past year is given in 7'able 10. TI1 proportion of guaranties met over a period of years is of riiore significance than for any one year and, therefore, figures are given in tlie saliie table for tlie five year period 193&1934 inclusive.
QUALITY OF THE INSOLUBLE ORGANIC NITROGEN
The quality of the insoluble organic nitrogen in mixed fertilizers i judged Ly the so-called "activity" of that portion that is insoluhle in water as measured by the alkaline and the neutral perrnanganate methods. Values of less than 50 per cent and 80 per cent by these respective methods is regarded as indicating nitrogen of inferior quality. Values less than these
Mired Fertilizers 35
have been found in ten samples this year, but in all cases the actual per- centage oi the insoluble was relatively small, and the percentage of water- soluble nitrogen plus the percentage of actire insolul~le organic nitrogen
B pract~cally equalled or esceeded tlie total nitrogen guaranteed. Hence no qtlestion is raised on the matter of quality of the nitrogen.
1 SPECIAL AND HOME MIXTURES
Twenty-two samples of special iliixtures and of home mixed goods have been examined. Seven of these mere sampled by the Station agent, the others by tlie mixers or the purchasers.
i\nalyses are given in Table 11.
