Calcium Nitrate and Floranid (Urea B. A. S. F.) Synthetic Urea. 



' All three samples of calcium nitrate showed commercial shortages of over $1 per ton. The commercial 

 valuations and shortages were as follows: $60.16, $1.84; $60.96, $1.04; $60.48, $1.52. It is probable 

 that the deficiencies were due to the absorption of water, as the salt is ver>- deliquescent. The three samples 

 carried an average of 10.81 per cent of water. Calcium nitrate carries about 28 per cent calcium oxide and 

 .5 per cent magnesium oxide, both soluble in water.
