sooner 1t Is known how much the
farmer wants, the sooner the manu-
facturer will know how big job he
has on his hands and how hard he
must work to accomplish as much Of
it as possible.
1t is also stated that the railroads.
are anxious that fertilizers be ordered
early so that they may be able to pro-
vide cars, else there will be a serious
difficulty in getting fertilizers deliv-
cred on time. The railroads are also
insisting on full carload shipments,
which makes 1t necessary to have Or
ders early so as to consolidate them
into full carloads.
1t is stated that the indications are
that there will be heavy demand for
fertilizers throughout the South this
year on account of the promising
prospects for southern crops. 1t is
stated, also, that the orders coming
in to the factories reveal that the
farmer is now wanting higher grade
fertilizers than ever before.

FERTILIZER SITUATION

To Demand

Atlanta, Ga.-A survey Of the fer

age of commercial plant food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are prin-
cipaly that strikes have interfered
with the production Of materials. In
addition, there has been some diff
Guilty in obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific, the long drawn
out strike OF miners in the rock phos-
phate fields Of Florida prevented a
supply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the diff
ficulty of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, it is
claimed, has put the manufacture of
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
AS to ammoniates or heterogeneous
materials, it is pointed out that the
coal and steel plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output OF sui

trate of soda is being shipped in larger
amounts, but not as cheaply as was
expected. 1t seems that the demand
for nitrate Of soda in the orient, es-
pecially, has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
AS for potash, there is going to be
fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount of potash has been shipped
from Germany to France, while there
