This product usually contains about 20^4 per cent of nitrogen, when purified, but if sold unpurified as brown sul phate of ammonia, it may not contain more than 18 per cent of nitrogen. Sul phate of ammonia is freely soluble in water, and has this advantage over nitrate of soda, that it does not leach cut of the soil so readily as nitrate of soda does, and may therefore be ap plied with other fertilizers in the fall to fall crops without fear of serious loss through leaching during the fall and winter. I have not mentioned all of the various kinds of nitrogenous fertilizer materials, but have sketched nearly all of the commercial fertilizers materials the commercial fertilizers sold in the State of Georgia are made.

But the time has come for the old king to take a lower place and share with other industries In promoting the strength and great ness of our noble commonwealth. Efforts are being made to arouse once more an interest among the peo ple of Georgia in silk culture. North Carolina has of late years made some progress on this Kne. Thinking that there is something of promise to Geor gia in the silk industry, we publish the following correspondence: “Tallulah, Falls, Ga., Oct. 13, 1902. Mr. R. F. Wright, (Ass’t. Com.

One of the largest factories is at Kioto, where an average of 3,000,000 fans yearly are turned out. Spain is the principal cus tomer for the Kioto fans, Italy com ing next In importance and then the United States and Mexico. The fans are not at nil easy to manufacture, as eight different workmen are required to make a single frame, while before the fan is finished it has to pass through the hands of ten people.
