FertUizer Inspection
Big Help To Farmers
Rigid enforcement of the North
Carolina Fertilizer (Law by the
State Department of Agriculture
resulted in Tar Heel farmers get
ting excess plant food value of
017,370 above the guaranteed
analysis of fertilizers purchased
during the 1046-47 fiscal year,
Assistant Agriculture Commis
sioner D. S. Coltrane has announc
ed. ' ,
The record-breaking saving ef
fected by the fertilizer * control
program gave farmers extra plant
food value far above the cost of
operating the State Department of
Agrtaulture for the year, -Colt
rane commented. Never before
has the saving reached a million
dollars; the previous year’s .ex
cess plant food was valued at
only ^664,2i5d.
Department fertilizer inspectors
work through the Chemistry Di
vision, headed by Dr,, E. W. Con
stable. They make a thorough
canvass of the State, obtaining
fertilizer samples from farmers
as well as dealers.
During the last fiscal y€ar. the
inspectors rpn 7,504 tests of sam
ples represeiitinf 1,020,314 bags
of fertilizer.5 Penalties amounting
to $30,608 were assessed against
manufacturers in 736 cases in
which the f utilizer was/found, of
lower grade than its guarantee
certified.
The average plant food value of
aU fertilizer sold in the State was
61 ^ents per ton above the guar-r
anjeed analysis. The extre value
as 43 cents per ton in the pre^
vious year.
By strict enforcement of flKe
Fertilizer Law, the IJ^artment of
Agriculture: enifbles, faynuars oL
the state to buy quality fertilizer
that is correctly and plainly la
beled, and at the same time pro
tects the honest manufacturer a
gainst dishonest competition. Be
fore any brand of fertilizer is
offered for sale in the State, it
must be registered with the De
partment. Each, registration is
carefully examined as to material
-used and guarantees, which must
be ip accordance with the law.
Numerous applications for reg
istration are declined' each year
until changes or corrections are
made.
During the fiscal year, 16 lots
of fertiliizer were seized for short
Weight anl violations of register
ing labeling or tagging provisions
of the law.

Mr. Chairman and members of
the Committee. I underhand that
you are now considering addition
al appropriations to cover ^he ex
pense in connection with the oc
cupation of Germany and' Japan
for the balance of this fiscal year.
In view of the tremendous cost
incident to the occupation of Ger
many, the pressing problems of
th'e^rehabilitation of Germany
and its effect upon our economy,
I avail myself of this opportunity
to present some facts with refer
ence to tobacco which I deem
worthy of your consideration.
In dealing with our problems
in Germany, and other foreign
countries, I think it is highly im
portant that we make every ef
fort to preserve markets for our
products which have been his
torically export products. Unless
this is done, we shall develop
domestic problems which will
seriously and adversely _ affect
certain groups of ouf own people
