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.

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.” Tbo Chilean Covernmeni. his taken an energetic part in the imp . v men! of the industry.

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.

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. Geo&g I a POWER. Rgjß COMPANY A CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND.

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. Special FREE Book Our new illustrated book “How to Fertilize Your ’Crops’’ gives full instructions. Free.
