MAKING POWDER.
i;cfOrc War go to 60 Cents a Pound.
Since About 81 to $1.25.

1t is understood that the volume
OF war orders booked by Du Pont
has reached an aggregate of $400,-
100000. A goodly portion Of this
enormous business was, OF course,
filed in the fiscal year to December
81 last. and was the potent factor
in the production OF the S57 .Sl0.75S
OF net profits to which the company
confessed in the late year.
While in years past Du Points net
has regularly formed about 20 per
cent Of gross 1t is unsafe to assume
that this ratio prevailed during the
late year. 1t was undoubtedly high
er because OF the high prices which
powder commanded. The highest
price at which powder sold before
the war was G6 cents 4 pound. and
the customary range OF prices was
slightly under 60 cents It is under
tsood. however. that in 1919 the
company actually delivered it's pow
der under its war contracts for prices
running between 81 and $1.25 a
pound.
On the other hand. it must not be
forgotten that the price Of the cs-
scntial ingredients entering into the
production OF powder advanced very
sharply. Sulrhuric acid, OF which
the company is 4 tremendous con-
sumner, advanced last year from less
than SO per ton to $25 and even
$2S. while for higher grade concen-
irHtcd acid fancy prices as high as
$40 ton were paid. Likewise pot
ash which is an essential feature OF
Saiional levels \ normal grade Of
potash salts is to-day obtainable only
in small lots at $3.50 to $500 ton.
The same story is true Of alcohol,
which Du Pont buys in huge quanti-
ties. The usual price for this alco-
hol is under 80 cents a gallon (wine
measure). To-day prices are around
63 cents and during the last half Of
1918 1t ruled over 80 cents a gallon.
1t must also be borne in mind that
the powder manufacturers in 1915
were making a remarkable plant ex-
panSiOn
TO fill its huge war orders, Du
Pont had to grow, and grow quickly.
This meant that at the high point as
many as 10000 men were engaged
in new construction at different plant
ccntcrs. And. Of course, this now
construction was charged to receipts
and formed part Of the cost Of filling
war orders. These are some Of the
Facts which make calculation Of gross
based on a normal ratio Of net to
gross extremely impractical.

PEANUT MEAL RATE LOWERED.
Reduction Means Promotion OF Im-
portnnt Industry in Our State.
News and Courier, 22dD

On and after September 25, peanut
oil meal for stock feeding and fer
tilizcr will be transported by Dracti-
caliy all Of the railroads in the South
at the same rate as cotton seed meal
and other fertilizers. This will mean
considerable saving to hundreds Of
stock raisers in South Carolina and
in many other Southern States, as
the fertilizer rate is decidedly lower
than the rate that most OF the roads
nave been charging on peanut meal
heretofore. The Southern Railway
voluntarily reduced the rate on pea
nut meal some two years ago when
the manufacture OF this new product
was tirst begun on a large scale in
Charleston; and now it is becoming
recognized as such an important arti-
Gle OF commerce that the other rail
roads have agreed to accept it on the
lower classification.
This action Of the railroads will no
doubt be very gratifying to all those
who are interested in the agricultu-
raj development Of the South, since
1t IS another evidence OF their willing
ness to cooperate in practical way
and help promote such new indus
tries that will mean SO much to the
general welfare Of the country. The
peanut industry promises not only to
be the solution of cotton planters
when the boil weevil makes cot:bn
raising Improbable. but it will also
be boon to the stock raising indus
try Of the South, by supplying an
abundance of the finest forage as
well as a highly concentrated stock
feed in the meal that Is made from
the nuts after the oil is pressed out.

Teach War Topics in High Schools.

Washington, Sept. 26.--The War
Department is preparing to organize
new division to direct the military
instruction Of students in high
schools and colleges. This division
also probably will have charge Of
training camps and the enlisted re-
serve corps. to be composed OF spe-
calists in transportation. engineer
ing, medicine. etc.
The duties Of the new division will
be very similar to those Of the mill
tary division, using the same instru-
mentalities, but the personnel will
be wholly different.
War Department officials expect
the militia to disappear under the
new national defense act, which pro-
vidcs pay only for officers and en-
listed men Of the National Guard.
Some army officers believe the appli-
cation Of this act, together with les
sons derived from the experience Of
the guard on the border, will result
in legislation making military train
ing compulsory, but service In the
guard or regular army voluntary.
