This is the season for buying fer- tilizers and it is important that farmers should know how to protect themselves in making sure that they are delivered the kind and analysis of fertilizer which they purchase. The Fecleral Fertilizers Act requires that every fertilizer delivered to a farmer mu be labelled with the (]U21`.:1llt(`f`ti zinalysis in terms of ni`iro:-"en. phosphoric acid and potasli.
