LETTERS TO EDITOR
Great Man Is Dead

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 A good and great man is dead in Eng land. The world is bereft. He was the leader of vast army. Ills soldiers loved and trusted him. They were not enlisted to kill, but to rescue and save. They have won many victories. This mighty host has invaded almost all countries, meeting upon the field the same enemy upon whom they have inflicted many severe defeats. Sol dlers, keep up the fight, the world Is look ing on.
 You have the approval of Almighty God. and while he has called back the sweet and beautiful spirit that he loaned to William Booth, the son who is your cap tain now, no doubt has inherited much of the noble character of the father.
 Did you ever stop to think of the great good that one man can do in the world fl he Is the right sort of a man, and how the people sorrow when he is taken away? And did you ever think of the great harm that one bad man can do, es- pecially If he has bad and vicious tenn per?
 One such man told me years ago that his uncontrolled temper had left him prac- tically friendless in the world.

Nitrates in Alabama

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Tn your paper of August 19 I read with much interest your editorial on Iron Ni- trates" However, I think that the ar ticle In question was misheaded. The error was no doubt brought about by mis- information furnished by your Washing ton correspondent in his letter in The Age-Herald of August IS.
 l have studied the subject of the manu- faeture of air nitrates and air nitrate fer tilizers considerably and am still inter- ested in the subject. However, I have never heard of the manufacture from the air of iron nitrate on a commercial scale, or of its use as a nitrogenous fertilizer. The commercial production of air nitrates has thus far been confined to Norway, where the water power is cheap and un- limited. There the final product, used for fertilizer and imported in quantities into America, is calcium or lime nitrate. This product is made by treating limestone, which is very abundant, with the acids formed by the solutions of nitrous and nitric oxides produced by the combination of the oxygen and nitrogen of the atmos- phere.
 In this country at Niagara Falls, where the water power is relatively cheap, the American Cyanamide company is now
 
 synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer known as calcium cyanamide. This product is man. | ufaetured in electric furnaces at high 1 temperatures, and the raw materials coke, lime and nitrogen from the air. are cheap and abundant. This cynamide is claimed to be a better fertilizer than the natural nitrates obtained from the Chilean | beds.
 1 l am sure that the synthetic preparation | of air nitrate fertilizers could be effected as cheaply in Alabama as anywhere ir | the country except at Niagara Falls. Here | the water power is cheap and boundless | The other raw materials needed-air, water and limestone--are also obtained easily 1T | large quantities. Iron nitrate, if it were | needed, could also be produced more eco nomically here than anywhere. But am sure that the other product calcium or lime nitrate is as good as, or bettel than, the iron nitrate for use as a com mercial nitrogenous fertilizer. I hope tha | the production of the air nitrates will be come an important industry In the com monwealtn of Alabama. and that the peo l pie of the south will not let the oppor l tunity pass to begin the manufacture O such products at home. Yours truly, | A. l.. BARKER.
