t h e phiLosopheR's Stone In the Middle Ages the alchemists sought to make—with the aid of Sulphur—a wondrous thing called the "philosopher's stone". W i t h this "stone", they planned to work miracles of many kinds. They hoped, by touching it to base metals, to convert those metals into precious gold. Although the alchemists' dreams for Sulphur were never realized, Sulphur adds to mankind's natural wealth through its role in fertilizer. It enhances the earth's riches by helping to convert air and soil constituents into growing plants. Sulphur is used not only in the form of sulphuric acid for the manufacture of most fertilizers but also as an ingredient in many of them to correct soil deficiencies. Thus, through increased yield from our agricultural lands, Sulphur makes another basic contribution to supplying the world's necessities. oldest United States producer of crude sulphur, bos been supplying this essential raw material for over 35 years.
