a Nitrogen practically all as nitrate. 



b This product, imported by the Synthetic Nitrogen Products Corp., 285 Madison Ave., New 

 York ('ity, is usually shipped in tight paper-lined bags, but due to an error in shipping this par- 

 ticular lot it was put into unlined bags, and due also to the unusually wet conditions which pre- 

 vailed during the early spring, the product absorbed an excessively large amount of water which 

 correspondingly lowered the percentage of nitrogen contained in a given weight of the material. 

 A satisfactory settlement was made by the Synthetic Nitrogen Products Corp. for the nitrogen 

 deficiency on that portion of the lot that was sold at retail. The balance of the product was re- 

 turned to the distributor. Apothecaries Hall Co., Waterbury, Conn. The product showed a 

 commercial shortage of $1.88 per ton. 



c The product was Synthetic Urea, to which some coloring matter had been added to facilitate 

 its use in the hydrolizer with hose attachment. Less than 100 pounds was sold in the state. The 

 nitrogen guarantee will be reduced before another season. The commercial shortage was $30.18 

 per ton.
