FERTILIZERS AND AGRICULTURAL LIME 5 



Fertilizer Tonnage 



During the past several years publication of the annual bulletin of the Fertilizer 

 Control Service has been delaj'ed by the late filing of tonnage reports by one or 

 two fertilizer companies. Since these late reports generally cover a large tonnage 

 they cannot be ignored in the compilation of the fertilizer tonnage tables. There- 

 fore, in order to advance the publication date of the bulletin henceforth, the 

 tonnage tables in this and future bulletins will include the fertilizers sold from 

 January 1 to January 1 rather than from July 1 to July 1.
