Pioneer Fertilizer Mined
on Barren Lands in Chile
Introduction to United States in 1830 Marked First Use
of Commercial Fertilizer.
Tim first hundred years in the
use of commercial fertilizers
can now be recorded in the agri
cultural history of the United States.
The practice of using commercial
nitrogen as a fertilizer was started in
IS3O when the first shipment of nitrate
of soda was brought to this country.
Up to that time only lime and marl of
the inorganic substances now com
monly used tor agricultural purposes
were known to the early farmers.
Used continuously since that time,
nitrate of soda, or Chilean nitrate, as
farmers commonly call it, is now reo
ognized as the oldest of the present
day commercial fertilizers.
Although nitrate of soda lias become
a commonplace article on farms
throughout the country, it in not gen
erally known that one of the romances
of modern civilization is woven around
this fertilizer. It is a product oi’ a
barren desert, high in the Andes
Mountains of northern Chile. There is
no rain or vegetation in the entire
nitrate zone, which occupies a region
nearly as largo as the combined area
of New York and Pennsylvania. Not a
blade of grass springs from the soil,
beneath which Is one of the most im
portant fertilizing compounds known
to Nature.
The nitrate ore is found at various
depths below the surface, the average
being about three feet. It varies in
richness from 5 to 70 per cent sodium
nitrate. Open-cut mining is practiced

THE older generation among
Southern farmers deserves
credit for laying the founda
tions of the modern soil-improvement
programs which have proved so sue
ceseful in raising the yields and profits
on otir farms.
This is shown by the experience of
Southern farmers, now past, middle
age, who have volunteered information
about tho earliest users of nitrate of
soda in their states. Some of these
planters have been ueing fertilizers
continually for quarter of a century,
and one fanner in South Carolina re
ports that he first used nitrate of soda
back in 1875.
Ab part of the 100th anniversary of
the use of nitrate of soda in this coun
try, recognltkn in the form of a dis
tinctive award is to be conferred upon
the farmer in each state who has used
this fertilizer for the longest period of
New Methods Adopted
In Chilean Industry
Production of Nitrate Fertilizer in
Sun-Parched Desert Is
Speeded Up.
AMERICAN engineers are helping
to revolutionize an industry up
in the sun-parched mountains of
northern Chile.
The application of modern methods
of mass production is making the
Chilean nitrate industry a model of
20th century efficiency, according to
Conrado Rios Gallardo, former Chilean
Secretary of State, who was a recent
visitor to the United States before be
eofiug his country’s ambassador to
Pern.
With the elimination of waste and
the use of labor-saving machinery, a
marked decrease, he said, has been
made in the cost, of producing the
fertilizer under the difficult conditions
found in the arid desert.
“Never before has the nitrate indus
try occupied as strong a position as it
does today.” declared Ambassador
Gallardo. “Notonly have the mechani
cal proc, ocs been vastly improved,
but the production has bcm stabilised
to the benefit es both the producers
and the conww* o* this ferJii-er.”

in removing the ore, after which it Is
transported to a refining plant erected
near by on the desert. The refining of
the ore is an extremely technical proc
ess. The objective of the operations,
however, is to remove the impurities
from the ore and to concentrate the
sodium nitrate so that when ready for
shipment the fertilizer contains 90 to
99 per cent sodium nitrate and an
alyzes 15.5 per cent nitrogen. lodine,
which is also present In tbo ore, is a
by-product of the refining process.
Small quantities of this element are
found in the fertilizer, as are aleo
traces of boron and magnesium.
Conservative estimates by geolo
gists and engineers in Chile indicate
that the deposits are of sufficient size
to supply the needs of the world for
generations to come.

“Industries Spreading
to the Open Spaces 1 ’
7^^ Dr. Julius Klein
■ ]^... Assistant
O SECRETARY
of COMMERCE
One vital factor to be borne in mind is the role that will
be played in the great future of Southern industry by
electric power, transmitted over long distances. This will
mean, inevitably, a progressive decentralization of hitherto
highly concentrated industries. We shall doubtless see
industries spreading, more and more, to the small towns,
the ‘open spaces.’ One finds, in the South, remarkable
opportunities for developments of this character.
From an address at the Naval
Stores Conference, Jacksonville, Fla.
Georgia communities are already experiencing the development
which Dr. Klein predicts for the South. Industry is following the
power lines into places where manufacture has never been be
fore. Industry must have adequate power, dependable power,
and low rater. The lines of this Company supply such power,
and thus stimulate the progress of the communities we serve.

This is the
"Make Sure"
Method
of Fertilizing Cotton
OUT of all the experimental work and farm ’
tests with cotton fertilizers during the past j
50 years, there has developed this one method,
safe and sure for cotton from North Carolina to
Texas. It meets every need of the crop for plant
food; reduces every risk; is economical; and guar
antees you maximum return on your fertilizer
investment. And it’s so simple—
At Planting Time (for one acre)
SO to 100 lbs. Chilean Nitrate of Soda.
25 to 75 lbs. muriate of potash.
300 to 400 lbs. superphosphate.
This gives you enough phosphate and potash;
the Chilean Nitrate gives the crop the best pos
sible start and encourages maximum growth
during early spring.
30 to 40 Days After Planting (for one acre}
150 to 200 lbs. Chilean Nitrate of Soda side
dressing.
This gives the crop greater vigor and resistance
to pests and disease; makes bigger bolls and
carries more of them through to earlier matur
ity; increases yields and improves quality.
That’s all there is to it! The important part of
the recipe is the nitrogen. Chilean Nitrate can
make a good fertilizer out of a poor one; will
make a good fertilizer better. A little Chilean
Nitrate at planting time and plenty of it later as
side-dressing just about takes the gamble out of
cotton farming.
If you cannot find out whether your planting
time fertilizer contains Chilean Nitrate; the way
.to make sure is to buy fertilizer low in nitrogen
And mix Chilean Nitrate with it at the rate of 200
’io 400 lbs. per ton. In this way you are certain of
«mough of the best nitrogen under your crop.
