Uses of ammonia. The major use of ammonia is as a fertilizer. It is most commonly applied directly to the soil from tanks containing the liquefied gas. The ammonia can be applied directly or in the form of ammonium salts, such as ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and various ammonium phosphates. Urea, (H2N)2C=O, is also used as a source of nitrogen for fertilizer. Ammonia is also used in the manufacture of commercial explosives (e.g., trinitrotoluene [TNT], nitroglycerin, and nitrocellulose). In the textile industry, ammonia is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibres, such as nylon and rayon.

Live Oak County Sheriff's Office. George West, Texas. (361) 449 - 2271. One of the duties of the Sheriff is the operation of the county jail, including the safekeeping of inmates and operation of the jail commissary. In February 2009, the Sheriff's Office moved the county jail to the new facility on Larry R. Busby Drive. The new jail will hold up to Ninety-Six (96) inmates. This facility allows the Sheriff's Office to not only handle the inmates from Live Oak and McMullen Counties, but allows the county to house inmates from federal and other jurisdictions. This additional housing of inmates has brought the county an increased revenue of over $200,000 this year.
