EXTRACTING FERTILIZER
FROM THE AIR.
First Plant In the United States to
Obtain Nitrogen From the Air.
A Triumph of Science,

First Plant In the United States to
Obtain Nitrogen From the Air.
A Triumph Of Science.
No longer will this country have to
send abroad for its heterogeneous ferti'
lizer, since the first electric plant for
dts manufacture direct from the air
has been put in operation at Nitrolee,
South Carolina.
The Southern Power Company has
harnessed the Catawba and Broad riv-
ers and the surplus electrical energy
derived from the falling waters will
be used to make fertilizer. The nitro.
gen is secured from the air by the aid
of high voltage electric currents
This is of greatest Importance to agri'
culturists as the demand for nitric acid
and nitrate of lime is now in advance
Of the supply, the bulk of this mater
ial coming from the saltpetre beds
in Chill.
The nitrogen problem, one of the
most pressing of the twentieth cen.
fury, is unique from the fact that
the material is unlimited, the atmos-
pheric nitrogen above one square
mile of land, amounting to about 22,-
100000 tons, is equivalent to what
the world would require in the next
fifty years at the present rate of con
sumption. The problem is to utilize
this nitrogen economically. and thus
free the world from its dependence
on the nitrate deposits of Chilli, which
are not extensive and are likely to be
exhausted at a comparatively early
date.

Round Robin Addressed to Broussard
as Rebuke for Candidacy.


Baton Rouge, La, May ID. "A gentle
round robin addressed to Congressman
Robert F. Broussard, at Washington,
is being circulated here in the form of
petition, asking for signatures, which
is intended as rebuke to Mr.. Brous-
sard for announcing his candidacy for
reelection to Congress from the third
district for the two-year interim.
Two petitions are in circulation, and
they have several signatures. The pc
tition suggests to Mr.. Broussard that
he has just been honored by the State
at large by being nominated for the
United States Senate, and the signers
wish to know before his election to the
United States Senate by the Legisla-
ture on May % if he intends running
for Congress again.
Mr.. Broussard has many friends here,
who are discouraging the petition.
They favor postponing re-districting
the State for two years, inducing Bob
to run for Congress at large and allow
Mr.. Gueydan to go from the third dis
trict.

mission which exists solely to
provide soft berths for lame duck
politicians like Tawney of Min
nesota-is, growing rapidly
throughout the country. For
many years, too, the people who
live in the farming communities,
and in the smaller cities and
towns, have felt that too much of
the public money was being spent
in the larger cities. In the last
ten years fully 80 per cent of the
public revenue has been spent in
the cities, Notwithstanding the
fact that the people of the coun-
try have furnished more than
half of all the money collected by
the government.
Neither the States nor the ma
tional government will be the
loser by generous expenditure
for public road construction, for
the money will ultimately come
back through the increase in the
taxable value of farm lands.
Nor is that the only way it will
come back. Whatever makes for
the agricultural development of
the country also aids other in

of Mr.. Voegtle indicates plainly
that his fellow-senators believe
him entirely worth of any pro-
motion that may come his way.
The House of Representatives
soon after assembling elected
Hon. L. E. Thomas, of Caddo,
speaker. Any opposition which
may have existed had disappear
ed before the Legislature assem-
bled, hence Mr.. Thomas was
given the compliment of unani-
nous election. In accepting the
trust confded to him the Caddo
statesman made a notable speech
advising a businesslike and in
dustrious session, with the en-
actment of no legislation for
which the Legislature might later
have to apologize. He advocates
additional safeguards for the
sanctity of the ballot box and be-
spoke harmonious working on the
part of all for the general good.
Speaker Thomas has long been
active in public affairs and has
also been prominent in business
and in banking. He is a strong
man, with the courage of his con-
victions, yet he is suave and dip
lomatic, and will, therefore, make
an ideal presiding officer. The
post of speaker of the House of
Representatives is one of great
influence and Importance, and

Thomas will measure up to the
highest requirements of the of

efficient speakers the General
Assembly has known.

Especial Correspondence OF the Colfax Chronicle
Washington, May AT h G
people of Grant parish are to be
congratulated on the early and
most creditable start they have
made in the building of good
roads. They have builded wiser
than they knew at the time they
decided to take advantage of the
proposition Of the State to aid in
the construction of a system of
model roads. The promise is that
Grant parish may at an early day
share literally in a big appropri-
alton to be made by the national
government for the maintenance
of all public roads traversed by
the rural free delivery service.
I'VE favor Federal aid to State
and local authorities in the con-
struction and maintenance of
post roads,"
This was a Democratic pre-
election promise. 1t was a plank
in the platform adopted by the
National Democratic party at the
Denver convention in 1910.
This prediction promise, along
with nearly every other one made
by the Democrats on the stump
in the last campaign, has been
filled. The Democratic House
of Representatives has just pass
ed the Shackleford amendment
to the Postoffice appropriation
bill, providing for an expenditure
of from ten to eighteen million
dollars annually for the construc-
ton and improvement of the ma
tons roads.
The principle on which it is pro-
posed to spend this money is
based on compensation to be paid
by the Federal government for
the use of roads traversed by
carriers in the rural free delivery
service, and is divided into three
classes, as follows:
Class "A"-The highest form
of improved road in the country,
for which it is proposed to pay
SIS per mile per year.

Landry as chief clerk of the

tical opposition to him, but the
great majority of members real
lied that his long service and
thorough knowledge of legisla-

odds the fittest man for the posi-
ton. The fight made on him,
therefore, came to naught and he
was elected by good majority.

ed into Office. The lawmaking

date from the people as the new
executive officers, and is in duty
bound to aid them in putting in
to effect the reforms enjoined at
the recent election.
While the next few days will
no doubt witness the introduction
of a flood of bills it is not likely
that any very serious business
will be undertaken until the
standing committees have been
appointed and the new governor
and administration inaugurated
on Monday next. Governor San
ders will present his farewell
message to the Legislature to-day
and after listening to that and
canvassing the vote of the recent
election for State officers on
Thursday there will be but little
business until after the inaugu-
ration of Governor Hall.
