French Guiana and British Oceania
are the chief sources, while of the
other imported fertilizers, SURVIVING
from 70 to so per cent, the remain

Kingdom, Canada and Belgium.
Additional evidence Of the increas-

in tn" figures Of the census, which
show That the number Of establish

increased from 27S in 1880 to $50

IMMENSE VALUE FERTlLIZERS.
Increasing Figures that Show. Ferti-
liZer Use In United States.

Washington, May 49, Special:
Soil foods seem to be rapidly gaining
in popularity or absolute require
ment, or perhaps both, among the
agriculturists Of the United States.
The total value Of imported fertiliz-
ers. including materials largely,
though not exclusively, used for that
purpose, aggregated s40,000,000 in
the calendar year 1910, against $10,-
100000 In 1900 and $5,5O0,0OO in
1890, according to figures compiled
by the Bureau Of Statistics Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor;
while other reports covering the pro-
ductiop Of fertilizers indicate also a
large and perhaps equally rapid
growth In domestic output Of the
various materials used for fertilizing
purposes.
The production of phosphate rock,
for example, largely Used in the man
ufacture of artificial fertilizers, in
creased, according to reports of the
Geological Survey, from $4,000
IN 1904 to s%10,750,0OO In 1909;
while the census Office reports the
value Of fertilizers manufactured in
1890 at $4,000 in 1900 at
$45,000,CuC, and in 1906 at $751;
100000 and If the rate Of increase
just shown with regard to the pro-
duction Of p~hosphates, a basic mate
rial In the manufacture of fertilizers,
occurred also in the output of manu-
featured fertilizers during the Pc
Rod since 1905, the total production
in 1910 was probably $70,0OO,0 900.
Meantime the United States exported
$4,000, 900, making the approx
mate consumption Of soil foods by
the farmers Of the country about
100000 900 per annum, emitting
consideration in this connection Of
cotton seed meal, used in part as fer
tllizer material, but largely as a
fouu for live stock.
The increase in importation of the
more important classes OF articles
used as fertilizers Is indicated by the
following figures: Imports Of soda
nitrate, or Chile s%altpetre, have in
creased from $4,000, 900 in 1890 to
100000 in 1900, and to over
$4,000, 900 in the calendar year
1910. The imports of potash salts of
the fertilizer class, chiefly the inuri-
ntn unI cttlnhnt y hnrn ;nn,rr-I
from 81 900 900 in 1890 to 5 2,000,-
600 in 1900 and $6,667, 900 in 1910,
while imports Of phosphates, guano,
kainit and other fertilizers have in
creased from over 100000 in
1890 to 100000 in 1900 and
$9,500,0 900 in 1910.
The commercial sources of the cle-
ments chiefly relied Upon as soil
foods-nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash--are comparatively few. Nj
trate of soda, valuable because OF It's
high content Of nitrogen, m al
most exclusively from Chile, from
which the imports amount to owe
100000 tons, valued at about $13,-
100000 per num The potash
salts are practically all the product
Of Germany, the imports therefrom
OF muriate Of potash, valuable by
reason OF It's richness in available
potash, ranging from 200 100000 to
400,00O,000 pounds, valued at from
~$3,000,000 to $1,000 900 per annum.
