The Fertilizer Movement: During the Season 1885-86; With an Appendix Containing the Laws of the Several States on the Subject of Fertilizers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Fertilizer Movement: During the Season 1885-86; With an Appendix Containing the Laws of the Several States on the Subject of Fertilizers

Last year's publication was confined to the statistics of the fertilizer movement for the season 1884-85. Several changes have in that time been made in the laws on fertilizer-control work, and in three states new laws have been enacted. The Association concluded, therefore, to compile again this year all the laws on the subject, together with the rules and regulations in force in the several states.

The digest of these laws, printed in 1883-84, met with such favorable recognition on part of the trade, that the same feature is contiued this year, likewise the analysis table, a drastic illustration that uniformity in this respect is but a demand of common sense.

The transportation lines which furnished, as in preceding years, on the blanks supplied to them for that purpose the data of the fertilizer movement, are entitled for this obliging courtesy to the sincere thanks of the Association, and of the compiler, and attention is called to this readiness all the more cheerfully, as the keeping of this information entails upon them a great deal of trouble and clerical work. The value of these data for a scientific study of the progress of agriculture need not be emphasized here, nor is it necessary to dwell upon their import for the student of political economy.

Thanks are also due to Hon. W. F. Switzler, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, and to others, who kindly complied with the requests of the compiler for specific information.
