Urged to Order
Fertilizer Early
Raleigh—North Carolina farm
ers would do welj to place their
orders early for spring fertilizer j
requirements, in the opinion of
D. C. Coletrane, state commissioner
of agriculture. Unless they do, he
things they may run into delivery j
difficulty when the planting sea- j
son gets into full swing. |
Fertilizer tag sales by the De- ,
partment of Agriculture, Coletrane
said, indicates a lagging demand, j
A decline has been noticeable since j
July 1; amounting all told to ap-J
proximately 10 per cent for the,
first eight months of the current j
fiscal year—July 1, 1947, to Feb-|
ruary 28, as compSred with the j
same period a year earlier. |
.Whht troubles.Coltrane most,
however, was a big drop in Febru
ary sales. Tags sold by the depart
ment in February, this year, cover
ed only 168,652 tons, a drop of
more than 53 per'cent from sales
of 259,505' tons during, the same
months last year. >•
Fort th°e past eight months sales
totaled 1,000,922 tons, as compared
with" If122,907 tons for the corre
sponding period In 1946t47.
“The decrease in Rebruary of
this year can probably b£ attributed
to bad weather,” Coletrane said.
“The decrease for the eight-month
period may be? due to-the reduced
tobacco acreage and to a lack of
interest in an early movement pro
gram/ My Conclusion is that the
fertilizer industry is going to be
taxed tofull capacity io suppfy
the demand from now until plant
ing time, and I would certainly
advise farmers to avoid any fur
: ther delay in providing for their
[fertilizer needs.”
