No Fillers for the Guano Reported by Alabama Fertiliser Board
Alabama Fertiliser Commission will propose a law to ban fillers in guano that lack plant food and to curb anti competitive price controls. The investigation cites suspected secret seed and fertilizer company ties, a “Lone of Plato” seed crushers order, and the Virginia Carolina and Southern Fertilizer firms influencing prices. It notes fillers in 8-2-2 goods consist of coal dust graphite dirt and pyrites with no soil benefit.
