H A Huston, state chemist of Indiana, reports 1896 fertilizer sales at about 42 000 tons, down 9000 from 1895. He cautions the 1895 estimate may be high due to carried over tags, suggesting 42 000 tons in 1895 and 46 000 in 1896 as closer to reality, with detailed breakdowns by product. He notes increases in complete fertilizer and plain acid phosphate, but decreases in ammoniated phosphate and bone products.
