Protests Against Proposed New
Coins.

Many banks have protested to Con-
gress and the Treasury Department
against the proposed coinage OF
three-cent and half-cent pieces. The
new coins, it is commended, would
revolutioniZe commercial mechanical
devices. Cash drawers and registers,
adding machines and counting ma
chimes would have to be changed and
it would be necessary to rule another
column on ledgers to accommodate
the fractional piece. Protests against
a scalloped edge for the half-cent
piece have caused that idea to be
abandoned and it is now intended
that the half-cent shall have an even
diameter, like other coins. The
three-cent piece, however, may have
the new feature of a hole in the cen
ter.-Statesville Landmark.

(From the Wall Street Journal)
Cotton acreage forecasts are the
vogue just now, within a little more
than two weeks of the official figures
which the Federal Department of Ag-
ricultuEe is required by law 10 make
public on July l. Meanwhile it is in
structive TO observe how near the
private estimates come TO agree. All
estimates agree that there will be
some reduction. The Memphis APP
peal, for instance, places the reduc-
ton at per cent from the high total
of 1851 900 acres planted in 1911.
The Journal of Commerce averages
the decrease at 10 per cent, giving
the planted area this year as 3d.
$50, 900 acres. Few, If any place,
the reduction at less than 6 per cent.
At the other extreme stands the esti-
mate of Commissioner E. J. Watson,
of the South Carolina Department OF
Agriculture, who recently put the per
centage of reduction at 16 IL, max
ing a decrease of 6,071,750 acres.
That would give the eleven States, ex-
Guiding Missouri, an area of 30,609,-
$50 acres A 6 per cent reduction
would admit of 34,4S1, 900 acres.
These two are 3,S71,750 acres apart.
These estimates would probably
come nearer the actual, if compared
with the five-year average for the
period prior to 1911, when the coun-
try had an exceptionally large area in
cotton.

FERTILIZER FROM THE AIR.
Plant for That Purpose at Great
Falls, S. c., Reported a Success.

Carlotte Chronicle, 13th.l
In a twenty-four hour test, con-
Quoted under the eye of expert chem
lists and electricians, free nitrogen
has been taken from the atmosphere,
wrested by science from it's hitherto
uninvaded stronghold. and will be
made to serve the most practical SER
vice in the enriching of the earth SO
that crops may better grow and flour
ish and in replacing a product before
brought from faraway Chilli.
The success of the severe test COM
pleted in the plant on the Catawba
river at sunset yesterday evening
marked the beginning of new era in
the South, an era in which the high
est grade fertilizers will be COM
pounded not with imported products
from a distant country, but from the
abundance of the atmospheric where
the nitrogen has existed for ages, a
valuable element that could not be
separated from the oxygen with
which it is mingled. although it is in
the air that is breathed, and consti-
tutes the bulk of the entire atmos-
phere.
The wrestling of this valuable pro-
duct from it's place in nature has been
effected by means of the high voltage
electric current, method which in
late years has already worked many
wonders in the world of chemistry.
The Southern Electro-Chemical
Company, of New York, organized
some time ago to test the process of
Dr. Albert Pauling, of Germany, who
had previously tested the process in
his own country, working in concert
with representatives of the Southern
Power Company, secured site for
and made the necessary arrange
ments for beginning work on 1000
horsepower plant near the Great
Falls development of the Southern
Power Company.
The plant is now practically COM
pleted and recently it was determin-
ed to make a twenty-four hour test
and ascertain if the process would
work satisfactorily and if the various
apparatus and processes were proper
| ~ provided and adjusted. The re-
suits of the tests made throughout
yesterday were all that had been
dreamed of.
The product showed up almost per-
feet and everything that had been
claimed for it and from the limestone
and the atm0Snhera brought to-
gether the fall process, the final pro-
duct came forth, nitric acid and then
nitrate of lime.
The nitric acid and the nitrate of
lime emerging from the chain OF
tanks, reports and chemical reacrions
