WAB EFFECT ON FEBTILIZEBS. 



A bulletin prepared by a member of 

 the staff of the New York Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, at Geneva, N. Y., 

 on "Some Effects of the War upon 

 Fertilizers," reveals some interesting 

 facts. The data, collected during the 

 years 1914 to 1919, indicate, as sum- 

 marized in the bulletin. No. 471, the fol- 

 lowing: 



"1. Effect upon kinds. The number 

 of complete fertilizers decreased each 

 year, going from 614 in 1914 to 171 in 

 1919. The mixtures of phosphoric acid 

 and potash practically disappeared by 

 1916, while mixtures of nitrogen and 

 phosphoric acid appeared in relatively 

 large number in 1916 and the following 

 years. Acid phosphate brands increased, 

 while nitrate of soda decreased, and 

 potash salts entirely disappeared. Bone, 

 blood and tankage decreased. 



"2. Effect upon composition. In 

 complete fertilizers the average per- 

 centage of nitrogen decreased appre- 

 ciably after 1915, while that of potash 

 decreased greatly after 1914, and still 

 more after 1916. The average percent- 

 age of available phosphoric acid in- 

 creased considerably after 1914, but 

 with some variations from year to year. 

 The total percentage of available plant- 

 food decreased continually after 1914. 



"3. Effect upon cost. The average 

 retail cost of one pound of plant-food 

 increased year by year continuously 

 after 1914 in the case of complete fer- 

 tilizers, going from 8.8 cents per pound 

 in 1914 to 33.1 cents in 1919, an increase 

 of nearly fourfold. In the case of acid 

 phosphate, nitrate of soda, bone, dried 

 animal manures, etc., there was an in- 

 crease in the retail cost of plant food, 

 but not relatively as great as in the 

 case of complete mixed fertilizers." 



IMPORTS OF PLANTS AND BULBS. 



In the national government 's last 

 quarterly report of horticultural im- 

 ])nrts, the total receipts of plants, bulbs,
