Sweeton Studying Fertilizer Problem.

A. W. Sweeton, county agricultural
agent was in Amherst, Mass, Wednes
day at the agricultural college consider
ing and studying the problem of fer
tilizers. The coming year will be one
that will put the ingenuity of crop
producers to the test, for the war and
the slide in the Panama canal have
made the fertilizer situation serious.
Potash, which comes almost entirely
from Germany, is wholly off the market.
The reason is obvious. From Chill
comes the bulk of the nitric acid, and
with the Panama canal closed the ne
cessity for shipping by the much
longer route boosts the price of that
essential ingredient.
Many of the ingredients of fertili-
zers are properties used in the manu-
facture of explosives and just at pres
ent there is a decided demand for that
commodity, which further increases
the troubles of those needing fertili-
GERS. The problem bids fair to have
much to do with the high cost of living
in 1917.
