AGRICULTURAL SITUATION
According to the Aimuai Outlook*of
,tvp agricultural situation which
gives a brief summary of economic
c ndjtions, fertilizer supplies are
expected to be ample for 1945-46 to
meet all commercial demands. War
time annual commercial consumption
of fertilizer in the .continental
.United States in terms of nitrogen,
.phosphoric acid, and potash for "the
peri 'd 1940-1944 has averaged
about 27$ higher than 1935-1939.
If farm prices continue at the
present level, consumption of fer
tilizer probably will continue to
increase; but perhaps at a lower
rate than during the past five year;
The outlook for fertilizer prices
during the transition period from
war to peace depends largely on
whether inflationary controls,
including those applying to costs
and retail prices of fertilizer, arc
retained.
INSECTICIDES
1 The insecticides and fungicide
supply for 1945 crop year, except
for certain items, is 'expected to be
as good as, or better than in the
previous two years. Items expected
t be available in adequate quanti
ties to meet agricultural require
ments are;(1)arsenals, such as lead
arsenate, calcium arsenate and paris
green. (2)fluorine compounds, (3)
petroleum oils for sprays/ and
fumigating materials.
Nicotine will probably be inade
quate to meet all requirements.Very
little pyrethrum will be available
for agricultural use in 1945,because
of its need in controlling malaria
mosquitoes In fighting rones, pp.5
