BIG POWER PLANT is BASIS
FOR PRODUCTION OF NITRATES

Pierre. S. d, May 24.-The provision
in the greater army bill for the estab-
lishment of d government nitrate plant,
and the effort to secure the location OF
the plant at Little Bend, on the Mis-
souri, has created Il good deal of
interest and inquiry pertaining To the
process. The extraction of nitrates
from the air in commercial quantities
can only be profitably done where cleo
tricfty in large quantities can be cheap-
~ secured: that is, a great water power
is essential. The process was first un-
Gertaken at Niagara Falls in 1902, but
did not prove successful. The next
year 1t was undertaken in Norway with
success and great quantities are pro-,
duced there for explosives and %fertil-,
izer. Since the war, Germany has TAX
en- up the business with great success
and has practically carried on the war.

The process is relatively simple. Ar

and then rapidly cooled. This separ-t

crystalizes the nitrogen. The area

is heated to 5000 or 5000 de-
grees Fahrenheit by electricity and from,
TINS heat the current is colled by pass
