COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER is THE
TOPIC OF GOVERNMENT
BULLETIN.

The United States department of
agriculture has just issued Bulletin
No. So of the Bureau of Soils, enti-
tied THE Composition of CONNER
cial Fertilizers by Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief of the Bureau of
Soils. in which the professor deals
with the subject of commercial fer
tilizers from the time of their first
use.
He says that the only method by
which the best in formation about
the composition of the different
brands of fertilizers on the market
could be reliably placed before the
purchaser would be "a factory in
spection in which the kind and guam
tity of material used in the mixture
would be certified on the package and
vouched for by the impartial inspect
orr
The bulletin treats specifically of
the class of fertilizers sold in Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Maine, North
Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. The
object of the chief of the bureau of
soils is to show the composition of
the different classes of fertilizers on
the market. The bulletin shows that
279 different brands of fertilizers
were sold in 1907 in Connecticut,
and 317 in Massachusetts, In Maine
there were 209 brands placed on the
market in 1908; in North Carolina
in 1908 there were 1906 brands reg
istered for sale. In Alabama in 1908
there were 364 brands sold, with
revenue from the sale of fertilizer
tags of over $4,000. In Georgia
there were in 1908 1922 brands in
spected and analysed by the state de-
partment of agriculture and market
ed for sale.
In summing up Prof Whitney
says: There is no rational system
of fertilization in general use in this
country, and in this respect the Unit
ed States appears to be far behind
some of the European countries. We
have indeed a general idea of the
form of fertilizer material adapted
to some of our soils and crops, and
some idea of the relation of soil con-
ditions and climatic conditions to fer
tilizer action, but these ideas are very
seldom based upon any exact data,
and practically are not applied by our
fertilizer manufacturers or farmers.
The advice of our agricultural chem
lists and agronomists is almost always
that the farmers should test their
soils by plat experiments to deter
mine the most efficient forms and
combination of fertilizers. Such ex-
periments are costly and take time,
and results vary with different sea-
sons. Such of our experiment sta
tions as have carried on these fertili-
ger tests hesitate to draw conclusions

Capture on Way to Town.
AS a moving van if the Georgia

People who have closely exam
ined the dictionary and the books on
natural history have some times seen
pictures of the 'possum with a litter

there are few people in this day and

G. Y. Parlier is one of these few
persons. Mr.. Parlier was coming to
town Saturday on the Bluff road
when he saw running across the road
in front of him an animal that gave
every appearance of being a 'possum.
He jumped out of his buggy and
chased it. The chase was success
full, and what he caught was an old
mother 'possum with ten little ones
riding on her back They had a

loose for fear or love.

ADVISES INSPECTION OF GUANO AT THE FACTORY

with less than an experience of ten
years.
"One has but to look up the re-
ports of the state departments OF
agriculture and the state experiment
stations charged with the inspection
of fertilizer materials to see the alb
solute lack of system which prevails
in the fertilizer trade. The tendency
in this country seems to run to an in
crease in the number of special
brands for special crops, but there Is
an absolute lack of uniformity even
in the elementary composition OF
these special brands. AS rule the
fertilizer formulas are simpler and
more uniform in the so tn than they
are in the north; there are also
less number of special brands for
special crops. For example, there
are very few fertilizers for special
crops offered in Alabama and GeOr-
gia. In North Carolina about twenty
eight per cent. of the whole number
of brands of fertilizers sold in the
state are recommended for special
crops. In Connecticut As per cent.
of the whole number of brands sold
are special brands for special crops"
Productive Capacity.
The bulletin says also: ''The
foundation of the material wealth
of this nation and its position among
the nations of the world is the pro-
ductive capacity of its soils, and, un
der favorable climatic conditions,
there are three principal methods of
controlling this productive capacity
These are cultivation, including
drainage and irrigation; rotation of
crops, and fertilization. Of these
cultivation and rotation are in the
hands of the farmer himself. Fer
tilizing materials, however, have, to
a very large extent, to be gathered
for him from different parts of the
world and manipulated to some eX-
tent before they are ready to be APP
piled to the land. 1t is with these
manipulated materials containing
two or more available ingredients,
known as mixed goods" that this
bulletin will deal. 1t is generally
believed that simple fertilizers, such
as muriate of potash, nitrate of soda,
or plain superphosphates when used
alone are neither as safe nor as eff
cient as when used in combination,
and as they can usually be mixed
more thoroughly by machinery and
more cheaply in large quantities, the
practice has grown up of buying them
ready mixed from dealers or manu-
facturers."
For obvious reasons it has not
been possible for the state authori-
ties to maintain a factory inspection,
and they have had to rely upon the
guarantee of the manufacturer as to
the nature of the material which has
been put into the fertilizer and on
the analysis by public officer of
samples picked up at random in the
open market This has from the
first been recognized as a weak point
in the present fertilizer control sys-
tenn. Moreover, the analysis and
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-06-01

commercial valuation based upon the
analysis are recognized as having at
best an indefinite connection with
the agricultural value of a fertili-
ger.
"At first the inspecting officers de-
termined merely the total amount of
nitrogen, the water-soluble potash,
and the water and critic acid soluble
phosphoric acid, and allowed for each
of these ingredients when contained
in the mixture a liberal value based
upon the assumption that only high
grade goods had been used by the
manufacturer"

not to return to Durham.
A clash between Capt. Meikelham

A Question of Gender.

The literary editor of the Arizona Sentinel and the literary editor of the Morning Sun had a dispute on the street yesterday as to whether the famous Mexican refresher should be called "un tamap or una tamale." The Sun man drew his Spanish dictionary and showed that the correct spelling is tamal and that the noun is masculine and requires the use of the mas culine article, "un." "Wahw said the Sentinel man, "who ever heard of sex in tamales? Who ever heard of a male or female tamale? Shades of Don Quijotel who ever heard of such a thing?" Aftera long argument, they finally agreed to call in a Spanish scholar to decide the point. Sure" said the umpire, "there is a distinction of sex in tamales, but it is a hard proposition for anyone to dis tinguish the sex of the concern except the person who made it. You see it all depends on whether

Geo. Taylor and ]. G, Peterson were with Deputy Sheriff Adam, when the arrest was made. It k known that the Yaquis will eat an animal after it has been bloated, for there are several cases where 1t has been done. As soon as they find a steer dead they immediately skin it and seem to have no com junction as to the impaired qual- ities of the meat. In the present case it will probably be difficult to judge if the steer was bloated or not, for apparently no one saw the dead animal or knew of it being there.
 Bisbee Review: Mounted Gus toms Inspector Tim Tolan was in town yesterday after a trip into the Sulphur Springs valley to look over some of the stock sold to rancher living there which was al- legged to have been driven across the line by the rustlers now in cus- tody. Several head of stock in- cluding mules were found on the Hamilton ranch near Courtland. Hamilton claims that he bought the stock from Capp and Kluting, two of the alleged rustlers now held in the Tombstone jail. Coun- ty Ranger Coleman and Alfredo Flores accompanied the custom officer. Flores recognized some of the animals as his property and they will be turned over to him to take back to his ranch in Sonora Stock bearing the brand of the PrOto ranch has also been located by the officers. The brands had been burned over, but anyone knowing brands could recognize the original marks. The Flores brand AZ has been burned to read AP and AB and the 2l brand had been altered so that the ? could not be easily distinguished. Other brands had been tempered with in like manner.

lhuS, foreman OI the CDlTlCd nud Cattle Co.,, while riding the range fifty miles north of Rice saw three Apache Indians killing a steer. He attempted their arrest and was met with a fusilade of shots. He returned the sally and one of the Indians fell on the carcass of the steer. Williams rode to Fort Apache and gave himself up.
 Arizona Republican: Fob Hjer- rid arrived here late Thursday evening with the carload of bull calves purchased ten days ago by Frank Fogal at La Junta. The trip was long and trying one but the calves arrived in splendid shape, notwithstanding the fact that they were on the road eight days and were only unloaded twice during that time. They were taken to pasture yesterday afternoon but before being moved were admired by good many cattle men who pronounce them the finest bunch of young cattle seen here in a long time.
 Bisbee Review: Local officers believe that they have in custody several members of a daring rust Ter gang that has been operating in Arizona and Mexico, stealing horses and cattle and hiding them out in the canyons of the Mule mountains until the time arrived for disposing the rustler stock. Those iii custody are William Kluting, Fred Fergu- son and a young man named Capp who resides near Don Luis. Both Kluting and Ferguson reside near here. The chase which resulted in the capture of Ferguson and Kluting covered nearly forty miles and several shots were fired by the officers led by County Ranger Rye Miles. Capp was arrested yester- day near Lowell by Constable Bailey.
 Mesa Free Press: There was trouble in a herd of cattle turned on green alfalfa at the Clemans ranch. There was stand of wheat on the same ground with the alfalfa, the wheat being much further along in growth than the other and MT. Clemans did not anticipate any harm to the stock. However, in a very short time there were over thirty head on the ground grooming, with distended stomachs telling the cause of their trouble. The cattlemen got busy and used the knife to relieve the animals from the deadly gas, and succeeded in saving all but four. Green alfalfa and water make a bad combination for stock that have been accustomed to dry feed At fifty dollars and better per head, which good steers are now bringing, it does not take many dead ones to cause serious loss.
