Increasing Use of Fertilizers in
the United States.

Soil foods seem to be rapidly gaining
in popularity or absolute requirement,
or perhaps both, among the agricultur-
lists of the United States. The total
value of imported fertilizers, including
materials largely though not exclusively
used for that purpose, aggregated 40
million dollars in the calendar year 1910,
against 10 1-2 million in 1900 and IL
million in 1890, according to figures
compiled by the bureau of statistics
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor; while other reports covering the
production of fertilizers indicate also a
large and perhaps equally rapid growth
in domestic output of the various ma
terials used for fertilizing purposes.
The production of phosphate rock, for
example, largely used in the manufac
ture of artificial fertilizers, increased,
according to reports of the geological
survey, from 6 IL million dollars in 1904
to 10 3-4 million dollars in 1909 while
the census office reports the value of
fertilizers manufactured in 1890 at 80
million dollars, in 1900 at 45 million,
aud in 1905 at 81 million dollars, and if
the rate of increase just shown with
regard to the production of phosphates,
basic material in the manufacture of
fertilizers, occurred also in the output
of manufactured fertilizers during the
period since 1905 the total production in
1910 was probably 70 million dollars.
Meantime the United States exported
million dollars, making the approximate
consumption of soil foods by the farm
ers of the country about 100 million
dollars per annum, omiting considera-
ton in this connection of cotton-seed
meal, used in part as fertilizer material,
but largely as a food for livestock.
The increase in importation of the
more important classes of articles used
as fertilizers is indicated by the follow
ing figures. Imports of soda nitrate,
or Chile saltpetre, have increased from
million dollars in 1890 to million in
1900 and to over 1912 million dollars in
the calendar year 1910. The imports of
potash salts Of the fertilizer class,
chiefly the muriate and sulphate, have
increased from l million dollars in 1920
to million in 1900 and 62-3 million in
1910; while imports of phosphates,
guano, keinit and other fertilizers have
increased from over million dollars in
1890 to million in 1900 and 9l-2 million
in 1910.
