All the : Crude Materials Have Materially Advanced. President Morgan, of Thef Virginia-Carolina , Chemical Company, Says the Selling Price Is Lower Than Cost -'. of Materials Warrant. Cor. Raleigh News-Observer. ' , ' ,. " Richmond, Va.. Feb. 1, 1900. . To the Editor; My attention has been called to a communication in the News & Observer, published under dats of Jan. 81st,' 1000,; in reference to the ad vance in the price of fertilizers. wherein it is stated that the farmers of Pitt county, North Carolina, propose to organize and fight the advance in the prices of fertilizers, and by insinuation our company is censured as the cause of 'this advance.": ';; vt' -'A' X:':: I desirq to make a plain statement of facts and conditions.as now obtained in the fertilizer trade, and to show;; to the dealers and consumers of fertilizers that the advance m the price of manufactured fertilizers is not only just and4 warranted but is absolutely necessary and that the manufacturers of fertilizers could not afford to sell them at the price ruling last Jrear unless they did so at a very heavy oss. ; ' - - - -.- Now to get down to facts and figures, we will see what has really caused the price of fertilizers to be advanced this year over last: ' v V ' '" ' " Acid phosphate being one of the prin cipal ingredients in all complete fertilizers, I desire to show here how much this ar ticle costs to make in excess of the cost price for the same thing last year. The advance in pyrites, from which sulphuric acid is made, is more than $2.00 per ton over last year. The advance in nitrate of soda, which is a necensary ingredient in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, is fully f 8.00 per ton more than last year! phosphate rock has advanced a mini mum of yl-75 per ton at the mines, and in some grades of rock the advance is more than 3.00 per ton. These three articles constitute what is necessary to ma ke aci 1 r hopphate. Tut them together in the pre; cr proportion and a ton of acid rho.'-jhato will cost 2.07 per ton more than it did last year. are cotic us 20c. rer ton more then tl.ry did lit year, eo thatthe crude material goir.7 i-to a ton cf acid phos phate i. eo-tir cpproTicaUly 2.27 ra " re t ! . : a i i u 1 a j-: r: o.

'.vt -ry, uLz:. m it v.-.-? a jc tional 10c. to the cost, of a ton of fer. tiliier, making in the most conservative and reasonable estimate possible, a ton of 13 per cent, acid Vhospbate bagged and ready for shipment: cost the man ufacturer f 2.87 more than it did twelve months ago." v"' -vr i.f--;i r-';-s,K - Now let ns look at complete ammoni ated fertilizers) We will; take what is commonly known as standard grade of complete fertilizer; running, say, 2 per cent, of ammonia, 8 per centof avail able phosphoric acid, and 1 per . cent. . of potash. , As I have above demonstrated acid phosphate costs $2.07 more ; than last year. This is equivalent to a ' little more than 10c. : pel 100 pounds. 1 In making the 2; 8 and 1 fertilizers, 1,200 pounds of acid shospbate would benecesr sary, so at 10c additional cost per 100 pounds, the additional - cost lor, aciq phosphate vyould be 1.20. . . x vr ! , If cotton seed meal was used , for the ammonia, it would take approximately 700 pounds, and cotton seed meal is now f 6.00 per ton more than last year which is equivalent to 80c. per 100 pounds, and 700 pounds would cost f 2.10 more than it did last year.'? Now add 20c. for extra cost for the bags and you have f 3.00 per ton more for the materials ; than we paid for these same materials ias, year, If tankaire or blood was used for the source' of ' ammonia instead of Cotton seed meal, the advanced "cost over last year would be f 3.20 per ton. as ammo nia from tankage or blood is. now 60c. per unit higher than last year, so for 2 per cent.' 01 ammonia tne extra cost oyer last year would be f 1.80. ? k a i. Sulphate of ammonia is the only other source of ammonia eommonly used in the manufacture of , fertilizers.' Twelve months ago this article was selling at about f 43.00 per ton, We paid for it this week f 62 per ton.'. i Now ! assert that the price of fertilizers has hot advanced nearly so much as the Ence of raw materials going into them. t us see who is to blame, if " any one, for the advance of these crude materials. Take pyrites: We buy from Spain more than three-fourths of all we use. Nitrate of soda: We buv entirely from South AmericaTApdtash salts: , We buy entirely from Germany.; So it can not be said that bur com Dan v controls or is in any wise responsible for the advance of these materials, as we have no interest what ever in any of these properties, either di rectly or indirectly. , . , , . . Take phosphate rock ; We do mine a small proportion of our wants of phos phate rock, but we mine nsne for sale and we buy from other mines more than two-thirds of what we consume. ho no one will suppose that we were anxious to put up the price or phosphate rock. As for cotton seed ; meal v we have no interest either directly or indirectly in any .cotton seed oil mill, so we are not responsible for the advance in this article. Blood and tankage are made by. the large packers in the west, and we have no interest and no control over these products in any Way. 4 Whyrthen, Bhonld -the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company be blamed for the advance in the cost of crude materials, and would it be business like for : us to want an advance in crude . materials, of which we have to buy almost entirely all of our heeds and of which we produce absolutely nothing, except a small quan tity of phosphate rock? i v.i r:;r,; .wr-.y-x-.n: It is our aim and purpose to manufac ture fertilizers as - cheaply as possible and to Bell them at as low a price as ; we can afford, thereby stimulating a. large consumption of fertilizers andi their gen eral use for all crops. ; t f : v 1 : '; . Let us see how the farmer is situated.. He is getting this year from 2 to 3c. a pound for his cotton more than last year, and we understand that for a great deal of the cotton seed the cotton . seed oil mills are now paying 25c pen .bushel. Are these advances wrong, and, are . ths manufacturers who are having to use this product condemning the parties who produce them; simply because the demand is such that the price has increased so enormously over last year? At present prices the farmer can sell the cotton seed from one acre of land and buy as much fertilizers as he usually puts over two to three acres, even though there is a small advance in the price of fertilizers, caused by the manufacturers having to pay high prices for the materials ' entering into them. - "We propose to be perfectly fair and candid in our statements and believe that when an unprejudiced farmer looks into the situation he will realize that he is not charged as much for fertilizers as the cost of materials under present conditions warrant.
