TO USE NITROGEN
 AS FERTILIZER
Will Take Place of Am- m0nia in Twelve NOrth-
 eastern States
EFFECTIVE JANUARY

For more than half a century it has been customary to state the nitrogen content of fertilizers in terms of the ammonia equivalent However, in 12 northeastern states all of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela- ware. Maryland. and West Virgin ia = this practice is to be changed beginning January l, 1892, accord ing to County Agent Raymond K. Clapp.
 The change was made possible by a series of conferences of con- tro1 officials, agronomists, and fertilizer manufacturers held dur ing the past few months. It has been advocated for some time by the Association of Official Agri- cultural Chemists, by many agron- omists, and by the National Ferti- lizer Association.
 The nitrogen in fertilizers is prsent in many different forms. among which may be mentioned sulfate of ammonia, nitrate of so- da, calcium cyanamid. calcium ni- trate, potassium nitrate, tankage, fish meal, cottonseed meal and other animal and plant by-pro- ducts. Nitrogen in the ammonia form Is present in only a few of them. For this reason, among others, it is the unanimous opinion of chemists and agronomists that the name of the element nitrogen, and not one of the forms in which it occurs, should be used. Each per cent of nitrogen is equal to 1.22 per cent of ammonia.
 o.,x;I l @;.,,, for the guidance of farmers have been made by agronomists of the Connecticut Agricultural College. In most cases the new analysis rec commended contain the same per centage of nitrogen that the analy- ses formerly recommended con tained of ammonia. This means that as a general rule farmers will get about one-fifth more nitrogen in the analysis than they are ac- to using and the agrono- mists feel that this additional ni- trogen can be used to advantage
 In addition to the change from to nitrogen. the new reg ulations will require that the percentages of plant food in all mixed fertilizers be stated in whole numbers and not in fractions or decimals. The brand name will include the numerals showing the percentage of each plant food nitrogen, available phos- phoric acid, and potash in the or der named. The statement of the guaranty on the bag or tag will be simplified and will show only the net weight, brand name includ ing the analysis. percentage of each plant food. and name and address of the manufacturer.

Waterbury Jinx For Oxford Autoist Burch Again Figures in Trouble When Truck Hits His
 Car

Stanley Burch of Chestnut Tree Hill, Oxferd. has ample reasons to cross Waterbury off his visiting list. It's either his life, his car or his money when he comes to this city. This morning shortly before noon hour his machine was badly damaged in a collision at the in- tersection of Washington and Baldwin streets. Two of his guests were injured and taken to St Mary's hospital. They are not seri- ously hurt. Mrs Anna Mananavich. 34. of Sixth street, Ansonia and Charles Labutis of Chestnut Tree Hill were bruised and dazed. No arrests were made.
