Out of that heavy past the modern

an immigrant with his evolution well

which ‘‘country squire,” ‘“yeoman’’

Postal savings banks flourish in
the Philippines, but are not yet autho

the Boston Transcript. The project
is close to the heart of Postmaster-
General Meyer, and was laid over
until the next session of Congress
chiefly because there was not time
to examine it carefully., Two of the
primary reasons upon which the de
mand for postal savings banks is
based are that they will keep in the
United States millions of dollars now
sent by immigrants to the trusted
government banks of Europe, and
that they are needed in the sparsely

This industry is of pertinent inter
est to Georgia and to the south, by
reason of the fact that at this place
the greatest amount of sulphuric acid
manufactured in the world is procur
ed, which, when mixed with phos
pbate rock, makes phosphoric acid,
one of the prime ingredients in the
most universal commercial fertilizers
used in the south, This fertilizer is
composed of phosphoric acid, nitro.
gen and potash. The source of the'
nitrogen in this mixture is derived
from cotton seed meal. There are
hundreds of small fertilizer plants
throughout the state and the south
where cotton seed meal and phos
phate rock are had, and it is neces-;
sary to secure this sulphuric acid to
make phosphoric acid, 8o necessary
to transform it into a commercial fer.
tilizer. Reports show that this cot.
ton seed meal fertilizer is more gen
erally used than any other brand, and
any action to the curtailment of this
mixture will be watched with unlver-‘
sal interest,
