 Mixtures Substantially Complying with Guarantee— Continued. 



' One lot of 6 tons sampled in Southwick was very poorly mixed. Analysis of samples from 5 different 

 bags taken at random showed the following variations: nitrogen 5.20% to 5.76%, available phosphoric 

 acid 3.36% to 7.78%, potash 1.47% to 12.45%. Unfortunately part of the lot was applied to the soil before 

 discovery of the improper mixing ; the remainder was re-mixed at the expense of the fertilizer company as 

 soon as they were notified. 



2 The remainder muriate, i. e., suflScient chlorine present to account for this amount of potash. 



3 Two analyses made. 



* Three other samples were out of balance. See analysis in table of "Mixtures Seriously Out of Balance 

 but not having Commercial Shortage." 



5 Two analyses made. In one sample the potash was in form of muriate; in one sample, ^/s sulfate, the 

 remainder muriate.
