It will be seen, therefore, that these sixty-four brands analyzed 
contain upon an average 91.1 per cent of the ayerage of the 
_ guaranteed maximum and minimum amount of nitrogen com- 
_ pounds, 100.3 per cent of the average of their guaranteed maximum 
and minimum amounts of available phosphoric acid; and 114.7 
i per” cent of the average of their guaranteed maximum and 
a “minimum amounts of potash compounds. In other words, while 
i they are fully up to the average guarantee of available phosphoric 
acid they fall short in nitrogen and overrun their guarantees in 
potash. 
Since it is obviously impracticable for every farmer in the State 
4 to become familiar with the work of the Station through personal 
_ observation, the following statement, which was published in our 
~ local papers, has been very widely distributed along with our 
lls, and having been copied into many of our agricultural 
_ papers, has secured still more extended circulation, and it is 
Doped by this means the work of the Station in its several branches 
has become more generally known to those for whom it is being 
primarily done. |
