Fertilizer Shortage
Seen for Next Year
—$—
“If farmers don’t order their fer
tilizer needs between now and Jan
uary 1, they may find it impossible
to obtain adequate supplies for nejft
year s crops,’’ declared D. S. Col
trane, assistant to the Commissioner
of Agriculture, recently in issuing
a .warning to the effect that ‘he suo
ptTTnitrogen and "bJTdpphate wiIT"
he much less than anticipated during
the summer.
“There will be less nitrogen and
phosphate for next year than there
sieasoh. The demlitwi
m»v exceed the supply", Coiira’ne
said.
utrogen and plicipph
Nitroge/K produced cct ■■ govern-,
ment war plants was until recently
converted into nitropen solutions for;
use in mixed fertilizers and into
amonh'm nitrate, hut this ritrocon
is now beine utilized in the manufac
ture of munitions. Ccnseauently,
the supnly of those materials for fer
tilizer use will he considerably less
than last vpar. The nitrogen supply
now regarded as eertain is 588.000
tons, compared with 631,000 tons for
1943 44”, asserted Coltrane.
With potash, the supply will be
larger, he said, but the supply of
sulphate may not meet demands.
Ordnance plants, according to Col
trane. have been the source of con
siderable quantities of sulphuric
acid, but this supply has recently
been greatly rurtailed and super
phosphate for farmers will be about
ten percent less than this past year.
“Labor shortages in phosphate
mines, in superphosphate plants, and ■
in the mixing plants are also handi- j
capping production,” Coltrane said. !
