5200 |a"Peat moss is the dead fibrous moss that has been excavated from peat bogs, dried, shredded and pressed into bales or smaller packages. Its value depends upon its highly absorptive nature, and its main uses are in agriculture, for stable bedding and poultry litter, and in horticulture for soil conditioning and as a filler for commercial fertilizers. ... This bulletin has been prepared for the information of farmers, landowners and others who may be interested in the development and exploitation of peat moss for agricultural and horticultural purposes from peat bogs on their properties"--Introd., p. 5.
