pointedly voiced 81 lien the delegates

meet in this city on December 9,
10, II next.
Realizing that a crisis is at hand,
and thst the desire Of the American
people as to the improvement Of the
ceuntry'S waterways must be ascar-
tanned once and for all, the entire
membership Of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress will be called
upon to attend the coming eonYen-
ton for the purpose Of taking high
ground on a subject that vitally af-
fects both producer and consumer
and transportation.
A distinguished delegation from
the Senate and House, members Of
the Committee on Commerce Of the
former body, and Of the Rivers and
HarborS Committee Of the House,
called upon president Wilson Wed
nesday to extond to the chief execu-
tive an invitation to address the con.
vention during one Of its sessions,
but paeferably to welcome the dele
CATION to Washington.
President Wilson told the delega-
ton that he was vitality interested In
the question, that he could not then
say whether he would be present,
but would take the matter undel
adsioeuent. m view or TINS late
bereavement, it may be that the
President will refrain from making
any public addresses except that hC
will make to the Federal Congress:
from time to time, but that he is il

Nitrate OF Soda On Old Meadows

On an old meadow which which
has not been proberly fortified a top
dressing Of nitrate Of soda Is almost
certain to show very marked results.
Mhe farmer is likely to be to enthu-
siastic over the showing made that
he at once concludes that nitrogen
is the one factor NEEDED to make his
hay crop a profitable one. Right
here lies his danger. While the first
application Of nitrate Of soda may
show these marked results, it is not
by any means save to conclude that
nitrogen is the only element OF fer
tility needed. Repeated applications
of nitrate of soda may soon result in
no apparent benefit and even result
in a final condition worse thon the
original condition.. The first appli-
cation Of nitrate Of soda shows such
marked results because there is a
| marked deficiency Of nitrogen in the
soil: but there is sufficient of the
other fertilizing elements, particularly
phosphorus and potassium, to bal
ance the nitrogen used. The in
creased crop yields from the use o
nitrate of soda make an increased
drain upon the Evailable phosphorus
! and potassium Of the soil. No ef
| fort being made to replace these ele
ments thus removed, the time yer
soon comes when no response ]
received from the application Of nj
trate Of fodad, because the phos
phoric acid and potash have bee
depleted, or, in other words, are tn
limiting factors. As a rule, wher
nitrate of soda is used as sertillz'
: it is a safe principle to use in cor
, | nection with it some form Of pho
. | phorus and potassium, having
! mind permanent results rather tha
a temporary increase due to Il
nitrate Ct soda.

To SmeIt Our Own Tin.

Probably one Of the best illuslra-
tons Of America opportunity to de-
velope new industries is afforded by
tin. The benefit which the United
Snates may obtain from the present
situation is the establishment Of a
tin smelter IN this country in which
to smelt Bolivian tin ores and such
small output Of American ore as is
produced. The tin conlrates pre-
duccd last year IN the Unined States
were all shipped to British smelters.
At the present tine between 3O.-
coo and 10000 tons Of tin concen.
tfates, carrying more than 10000
tons Of metallic tin are shipped each
year from bolivia to Europe for smelt-
ing. The United States imported
several times that amount Of metallic
tin last year and would easily absorb
all the tin shielded from the Bolivian
ore. The smelling Of the Bolivian
ores presents no difficulties that the
American menallurgistcan not readily
overcome, and Bolivian ores will
be easier to buy. II ships can be
found to carry the ore an opponu-
tunity seems to be presented for
| Americans to begin purchasing ores
that have hitherto gone to Europe.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKING SYSTEM

The fundamental change in our
banking system made by the FEEDER
al Reserve Act Of Congress Of De-
cember 2s, 1913. is Of interest to all
Of our people. For years the great
need for an elastic currency had
beer felt, but it was necessary that
the government should provide safe
guard against undue expansion or
contraction.
This was done by che creation Of
the Federal Reserve Board with ex-
tensive powers over banking inStitu-
tons. The United States has been
divided into twelve districts, which
have been apportioned with due re-
gard to the convenience and custom
ary course Of business. In each Of
the twelve districts a federal reserve
city has been designated in which a
federal reserve bank has been es-
tabished.
The federal reserve bank in each
district is composed Of the national
banking associations in the district
and is required to have a capital
stock Of at least 100000. In
case the national banks in the dis
tricts fail to take all Of this stock,
private individuals and the United
States may take it, but the stock
will have no voting power. The en-
forcement Of the federal reserve law
is entrusted to the Federal Reserve
Board, consisting of five members
appointed by the President Of the
United States, in addition to the
Secretary Of Treasury and the Com.
pontroller Of the Currency, who are
ex-offcio members Of the board
The Board has its office in Washing
ton, D. c. Two members Of the
boare are required to be experienced
bankers. Ten years is the term o
Office, and in every two years th'
term Of one member expires. Th'
salary is S12, 900 a year.
The most important powers an,
duties Of the Federal Reserve Boar,
are to exercise general supervision
over federal reserve banks; to su
spend temporarily the requirement
Of the law as to the amount of re
serve funds banks shall maintain !
their vaults; to regulate the issu
and retirement ,of federal reserv
notes; to compel the banks to writ
off worthless assets from their book
and if need be to suspend and win
up any federal reserve bank.
Assisting the Federal Resen
Board is an advisory council, con
SoSed Of members selected by Il
reserve banks Of the twelve district
The activities of the federal r
serve banks are those of usual banl
ing institutions. To give our Gu
rency system elasticity it has Il
power to issue federal reserve bar
notes.
1t is only in the discretion of II
Federal Reserve Board that the fe
eral reserve banks may issue thes
