The Agricultural Outlook for 1936 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agricultural Outlook for 1936 During the 1934 - 35 fertilizer season the fertilizer industry operated under a code of the National Recovery Administration. The effect of the code was to raise and maintain prices. These codes were terminated in May 1935. The 1934 - 35 fertilizer tonnage was 10 percent larger than in the preceding Season in the 12 Southern States as shown by fertilizer-tag sales and 26 percent larger in 5 Midwestern States. Combined sales in the two areas were 11 per cent larger than in the preceding season and the highest since the 1930 - 31 season. With but little change in income from the 1935 crops of cotton and to bacco than that secured a year earlier, no marked increase in fertilizer use is expected during the coming year.
