 The manufacture of fertilizer will probably be the principal branch of business. The establishment of fes- tilizer factory here has been talked Of tor several years and now that there is one in sight there IS no doubt but that 1t will prove a paying industry This city is the distributing point for thousands of tons of fertilizer each year and there is no question but that the output of the new plant can bs readily disposed of
