THE new fertilizer

That the manner of fertilizing
soil is undergoing a rapid change
and that this change is being
wrought by the use of nitrate of
soda is evident from the results of
worldwide experiments, with con-
sequent success, in the use of this
remarkable substance.
Soil chemists say that the three
critical elements necessary to plant
food and life are nitrogen potash
and Phosphorus. Soils on the
Coast generally are rich in the two
latter, but lack in nitrogen; par
ticularly so after several crops have
been harvested.
1t is conceded that the soil of the
Northwest needs a supply of valuable
nitrogen as fertilizer, and this can
be derived from three possible
sources: farm manure, slaughter
house waste products and from nj
trate of soda. The first two must
decay before their nitrogen is lib
Grated in available form. Nitrate
of soda, however, contains Is per
cent nitrogen, all of which is i'm
mediately available to the plant.
Manure or animal products must
be applied well in advance of plant
ing, while nitrate of sofa can be ap-
piled at a time when plants need
it, particularly in that period when
they are making mos. rapid wood
and foliage growth.
Nitrate of soda, which in looks
resembles coarse salt, is derived
from mines in Chile, from which
more than 25O,OOO,OOO tons were
moved last year, a certain indica-
ton of it's wonderful efficiency.
The most decided results have
been secured from the use of nitrate
of soda in orchards, for market
gardening and small fruits. Or
chardists have secured a. surprising
increase in crops of fruit. 1t makes
the soil rich, the trees hardy and
healthy and the fruit large, tender
and juicy. In market gardening
and small fruit raising the results
have been most remarkable. Not
only has it brought about big in

PORTLAND STOCK MARKET

Receipts for the week ending Feb.
IA have been: cattle 1927, calves 7,
hogs 30SS, sheep 1906.
This weeks cattle market has
been full Of surprises. The broad
ened outlet made possible by active
bidding on the part of killers, large
and small caused sudden reaction
in beef values and tendency of the
market points upward: Demand
for prime heavy steers was urgent
enough to make sellers market
and the former top of $500 was
easily obtained. The bulk of steers
were of good quality and averaged
81 so to $3.50. Butcher stock was
frmer although the prime stuff was
scarce. Cows at $685., heifers at
800, bulls at $500 and stays at
$3.50 are extreme quotations for
quality offering. Receipts have been
small compared with last week and
almost devoid of contract shipments.
Ascendency of swine prices oc-
cured on three different occasions
until $500 was finally reached
Thursday. AS the close last Sat-
urday was weak at 81. 40 the up
ward flight represents a big half
dollar. Apparently the bulk of
swine holdings has been marketed
and while public pork consumption
is not so heavy at this time of year,
there are scarcely enough hogs to
satisfy the demand. Every other
large market is showing unusual
strength, which may be speculative.
At any rate the eight cent hog mar
ket has arrived again, even if tenn
porarily. Supply and demand will
determine future price levels.
Sheep house business was brisk
during the week when opportunity
offered. A few cars of choice year.
ling wethers featured at 1925 and
several punches of ewes at $5.15.
Mutton demand seemed to be steady
although not urgent. Good lambs
found ready sale at current quota
tions. One lot of 400 head sold
off the cars" at $3.50. The ex-
treme top on prime fed lambs is con-
sidered 1925 to $7.35.

crease in the amount and quality Of
the produce, but it has accomplished
what is of the utmost commercial
value to the gardner-enabled him
to market his crop from Is to 20
days earlier than his neighbor, at a
time when prices are at their best.
And nitrate of soda applied to
grain-growing soil shows up equally
well in a big increase in crops, for
where the soil is dry, it stores up
and preserves moisture, and where
there is much humidity it distributes
the water and sweetens the soil. And
not the least important, nitrate of
soda is clean, odorless, free from
filler and cheapest when results are
considered.

EXPERIMENTS With SOY BEANS

Terts of soy beans were made at
Pullman during the three years,
191O-1912 inclusive. A total of
eleven varieties have been tried.
The soy bean is leguminous plant
of bushy character. 1t grows
from two to four feet high. The
seeds are generally sown in drills
about three feet apart, using an Or
binary grain drill with the extra
openings stopped.
This plant is well adapted to many
sections of the southern United
States. In some instances it is
grown in the north. 1t is very
tender plant in its earlier stages of
growth. Consequently, even in the
south, soybeans are not planted un-
til May or June. They are grown
for both seed and forage.
Most of the varieties tested on the
Experiment Station farm have failed
to mature. Only two or three have
produced ripened seeds. The amount
of forage also is much less than can
be secured from field peas. Thus
far no nitrogen-producing nodules
have been found on the roots of the
plants. Our experience with soy
beans does not indicate that this
crop is likely to prove of any value
in Eastern Washington. Extract
from Bulletin No. so, Washington
Experiment Station.

Want Chance able Dresses!

At the recent International Congress
of Applied Chemistry in London one
OF the most celebrated lecturers, Gia-
como Ciamician, predicted that women
of the future will not be contented
with dress which remains constantly
Of one color, but will demand colors
that change in harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con-
forming automatically to the environ.
ment-the last word in fashion for the
future.
This prediction will come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called 'phototropic
colors," or colors that change with
the intensity of the light upon them.
In mems wear this might mean that
the light.colored suit of the bright
summer day would be transformed
into dark suit at night
