Prange, at the meeting of the Florida Horticultural Society, at Gainesville, May 12th to 15th, 1908, so clearly expresses what the ordinary purchaser of fertilizers should know on the subject; how to obtain the information; the proper interpretation of the "Guarantee tag," what it "says" and what it means to the buyer; the clear statements of how to calculate "State values," together with suggestions as to lines of study best adapted to the user of fertilizers, in order to get and pay for what he needs, and not to buy and pay for what he doesn't require, what the "special sample" is for, and how to draw it; justifies its printing in the "Fertilizer Bulletin." I hope this paper will be carefully read and its suggestions followed; particularly the suggestion to write for bulletins published by the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. C., and the State Agricultural Expertment Station at Gainesville. These bulletins answer many questions, not only as to fertilizers, but also upon many other subjects-Cotton Growing; Feeding and Dairy Work; Poultry, Gardening, Draining, Floriculture, Fruit Growing, Household Economies, Diseases of Livestock, Insects, Fungus Diseases, Insecticides, Fungicides, and hundreds of other subjects. The Farmers' Bulletin, published by the U. S. Agricultural Department at Washington, now numbering some 325 distinct bulletins, on different subjects of interest to the farmer, can be had for the asking. A list of the different bulletins is published with each Farmers' Bulletin, any of which can be had free of cost by requesting them of the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C. R. E. ROSE, State Chemist. |
