The NortV Calinn Department of Agricnlture has done a wise and a t j i timely act in having the , fertilizers most in use iu our State analyzed by a competent chemist, Dr, A, R. Le dour,' of - the University of North - Carolina The , analysis has been fairly made, and the result is of ranch importance to the farmers of the State. Dr. Ledoux. gives what the ingredients would cost the farmer if be were to manufacture his own fer-t tilizer. - Dr, Ledoux says in his re port: . . , . ", "Tbongb these figures do not necessarily express the actual agricultural value of the different brands, as 1 had occasion to em phasize in Circular No.- 1 of this Station, aod though the commercial value might be slightly altered in some instances were the source and origin of the nitrogen and insol uble phosphoric acid positively known,, yet they will show '. indisputably their com parative values and what their valuable- in gredients would cost if bought in open mar Set. . The mechanical condition of all .the samples was good; no lumps or stones. Sample No. 4 coBtains a certain amount of soluble silica, which, on certain soils and nnder peculiar conditiona,is of some value." The ingredients of the 'following ' fertilizers can be bought for the sums stated. , The figures, in other words, represent their commercials or , agri - cultural value :",,' ' .

It will be seen also that its commercial Value that is to say, the price of the ; ingredients to the farm er, if he buys them to make his own manures is $33 40, or higher than all the others save three or four. In other words, when;- you considertbe cost of ingredients and the amount of sand you buy in the foreign com- panies, our home company furnishes probably the most satisfactory article. Now let our- Agricultural Depart ment be governed by practical views, ana u may accompiisn some gooo. Let Prof. Ledoux abandon the idea tuaw a large prow is a awrouie jus stated in one of his circulars) ; and let everybody abandon the notion that farmers are fools and vail need guardians. v It . is entirely proper to inform them as to the cost of the in- grfidients for.:- fertilizers, and then -if they see fit' .to go; into the manufac ture themselves, all right. B just to all.'. Do not imagine or c that every man engaged in the facture of.' fertilizers is a. swindler. even though ' itr should be demon strated that his profits are large, w , . APPnBCIATlVE.
