Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture: Report of the Commissioner for the Year 1919
To summarize the situation, it seems that there is not a lib eral supply of raw materials. Particularly is this true of acid phosphate, due to the long-continued strike in the South. It is questioned whether the high price for this important material is entirely due to a shortage in the supply. The foreign demand for sulphate of ammonia has so increased the demand on our fertilizer concerns that the supply is nearly all sold. Cotton seed meal and animal ammoniates, such as dried blood and tankage, are not in liberal supply.
Potash compounds are certain to be more freely offered than last season, although market reports indicate that the supply of domestic potash has been fairly well sold up until the first of January. The labor situation in the potash fields, and the coal shortage with resulting curtailment in shipping, does not prom ise much relief from this quarter.
