Excerpt from Report on Inspection and Analysis of Commercial Fertilizers, 1949
The fertilizer law Of 1882 was the first Connecticut law to require the registration Of all commercial fertilizers and the payment Of an analysis fee Of ten. Dollars for each Of the fertilizing ingredients contained or claimed to exist in said fertilizer. It is interesting to note that the word ing Of this Old law did not restrict the ingredients on which fees were paid to nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash as did the law Of 1919 that eventu ally succeeded it. It is true that in the administration of the 1882 law analysis fees were exacted for guarantees Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash only, but this was done on the stated assumption that only these elements were those whose determination in an analysis is necessary for an evaluation.
