Description of Tables. 



Even if you think you know what a fertilizer table means 

 and that you know how to use it, it will not take much of your 

 time to read the following. And it may be worth your while. 



The reports of each brand appear upon two pages. The 

 left hand page carries the number of the fertilizer, the name of 

 the maker, his place of business, the name of the brand and the 

 town where the sample was taken. The right hand page re- 

 peats the number of the sample and gives the detailed numeri- 

 cal results of the chemical examination. In folding the book 

 the printer endeavors to make the lines run true across both 

 pages. In case they are not strictly in line the repetition of 

 the number of the sample makes it possible to go from the right 

 to the left page without mistake. 



THE NUMERICAL RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS. 



The following shows the form of the table in use. For 

 purposes of explanation and illustration results of four sam- 

 ples examined in 1918 are given. With the exception of the 

 substitution of letters for the Station number they are as printed 

 in the Official Fertilizer Inspection for 191 8.
