A Big Fertilizer Combine.

Last week we made some ObServa-
part of the fertilizer business of the
country under two great combines, the
a. \. c. and the VIC. G. This latter,
the Virginia Carolina Chemical Com
pany, has absorbed about all the COM
panies of the CarOlinas and Georgia.
The Savannah News, in speaking of
the recent absorption of the CONNER
cial Guano Company of that city,
states that there is now only one indie
pendent concern left in Georgia,
small plant in Valdosta. The VIC. G.
Company owns large phosphate inter-
ests in South Carolina and Florida,
having acquired practically all of the
$1,0OO,OOO of the capital stock of the
Peace River Phosphate Mining Com
pany of this State, which was mostly
held in Savannah and Atlanta. Our
Florida companies are intact yet but
no one can tell how long they will re-
main so. The News adds:
Zone effect of the consolidation has
already been forecasted, and that is
an immediate advance in the price Of
fertilizers. Fertilizers were lower than
usual last season in the face of the fact
that there was very decided advance
in phosphate. The advance in the cost
of fertilizer can very readily be at
tributed to the increased cost of ma
terials, and is only what might have
been expected anyway.
another very perceptible effect OF
the consolidation will be the decrease
in office forces and in the number OF
travelling men on the road. 1t is esti-
mated that the fertilizer companies
employed last season as many as $50
travelling men in this State. With
practically all the interests consolidate
ed and no competition to speak of, it is
already predicted that the number of
travelling men in the field for the fer
tilizer interests will be cut down to
fraction of what it was during pre-
vious seasons '-Times-U Union and Cit
