Abstract:

A century ago, 108 brands of fertilizer were being sold in North Carolina, including low quality products and swindles. As a result of farmers’ complaints, the legislature passed an act setting up an Agricultural Experiment and Fertilizer Control System. This article covers the history and current operations of the program.
