Industrial Insurance Commission Paying
Monthly Pensions to 8O4
People

Under the workmen's compensation
law monthly pensions are at the present
time being paid to 804 persons. The
total amount paid in pensions last month
was $8,3o2.36.
Pensions were paid to 754 persons
on account of the death of the bread
winner of the family. In this list were
included lat parents of workmen, two
grandparents, 215 widows and 800
children.
The department is also paying pen
sions to 10 persons who have sustained
permanent disabilities, these 10 having
81 other dependent upon them.
By far the largest proportion OF the
states pensioners, total of $50, live
in the state of Washington. However,
lis live in other states, 80 in various
European countries, 16 in Canada and
five in Japan.
Although the number of the states
pensioners is increasing steadily, there
is no fear that this will lead to any fl
nancial inconvenience in the future.
AS soon as a pension is allowed the in
dustrial insurance commission places in
a reserve fund, at interest, an amount
sufficient, with the interest, to guaran-
tee payment of the pension during the
life of the pensioner.
Thus, as the commission phrases it,
THE industries of today take care OF
the accidents of today" leaving no LA
bility for the future. There is nearly
81, 100000 in the reserve fund now to
meet these pensions.

NEW FERTILIZER FOR
SMALL GARDEN SEEDS
Nitrate of Soda Said to be an Effective
FertiIizer-COntainS IS Per Cent
of Nitrogen

With a view to finding way to get
their products to market ahead Of the
regular season for such things, the
fruit growers and vegetable gardeners
of various portions of this state have
been casting about for a fertilizer that
will stimulate the growth OF small fruits
and vegetables in particular and thus
make it possible, before the season
opens, to get better market prices.
The solution of this problem has been
found in the use of Nitrate of Soda, a
remarkably effective fertilizer which is
being mined in Chile. The early
growth of plant is largely dependent
upon the presence of ample nitrogen
in such form that the plant can take
it up as fast as it is needed. And
what makes this nitrate SO effective is
the fact that not only does it contain
fifteen per cent of nitrogen, but all OF
this element is free to be available the
moment it is applied. In vegetables
and small fruits the effect of this ap-
plication OF nitrate is to force rapid
growth of succulent vegetables and,
besides bringing the plants to early
maturity, makes their products OF a
much higher quality than usual.
