FERTILIZER DOWN

The Baltimore American says:
Joyful news for Maryland farmers
and truckers is a reduction in the
price of commercial fertilizers rang
ing from 20 to 80 per cent, according
to grades.
The reduction is due to the cessa-
ton of war, by which chemicals en-
tering into the manufacture of mu-
nitions are no longer needed and
hence are utilized in the fertilizer
factories. Another cause is the re-
sumption of potash from Germany.
The reopening of this source of sup
ply, the increase in the American
output and other causes have oper-
ated to bring a reduction in the price
of potash from 5000 to $3.50 per ton,
with other reductions in prospect.
The federal government has also lift
ed its hands from control of the in
dustry.
These reductions and future prices
will be discussed by the National
Fertilizer Association, which began
its annual convention in New Lon
don, Conn, on Monday.
