Rock Hill Fertilizer Works.
Rock Hill Herald: A Herald re-
por,er yesterday afternoon went
through the plant Of the Rock Hill
Fertilizer company and observed the
work Of making fertilizers Of different
brands. superintendent L. L. Bates
accompanied the newspaper man
through the plant and explained the
value Of the materials that are used
In the manufacture Of the different
brands turned out by the factory. To
one who has not frequently visited q
plant Of this kind 1t is hard to con-
ceive of the vast amount Of goods
turned out each day. At present about
thirty hands are employed and 200
tons, or 100000 pounds, Of fertilizer
leave the factory each day. This
equals ten or more cars. By the last
Of the week the concern will be turn
ing out 800 tons per day, or fifteen
car loads. AS the season Is late, the
and make about 400 tons per day later
on. Many people, no doubt, think
that as soon as the fertilizers needed
are manufactured and shipped out
the work is over for the season. This
is mistake, for as soon as stock TAX
ing Is over the work Of unloading the
various materials that go to the MAX
ing Of the fertilizers Is begun. This
takes several weeks, and after short
vacation, the time is at hand to be-
gin on fall fertilizers for wheat, oats,
etc. The newspaper man, on enter
ing the factory, was struck with the
huge pile Of acid phosphate from Ger
many. In one pile there were some
thing like 1000 tons, or S,000,0 900
pounds. This was all brought from
Germany. Kainit was another sub
stance secured from foreign lands
Thousands of bags Of this material
were on hand. There were several
vats of dried blood secured from
packing concerns. One would judge
that a fertilizer. plant would have an
unfavorable scent, but this Is not the
case, except when cars Of rotten fish
come in. Once this Is inside the plant
and treated the scent leaves. Four
brands Of fertilizer are manufactured.
Piedmont, Rock Hill, York and Old
Honesty. or course, several other
brands are made in case they are de-
sired. as some soils need different
brands.
