10 no class OF American citizens does
this situation come home so closely
perhaps, as to the farmers. There Is
absolutely no relief In sight from the
nigh prices of fertilizers or for fertiliz
ers at all. except through DEVELOPMENT
of cheap water powers.
Not only does the water power cues
ton affect the future of fertilizer sun
ply and prices, but it is closely related
10 the labor question. For several
years farm labor has been increasingly
expensive and hard to secure. Immi-
grafton has stopped and is not likely to
be resumed for years or generations to
come. Europe will need all the men
she has left after the war; Conserva.

tons.
Our Undeveloped Water Power.
The United States figures show that
there is now undeveloped in this coun-
try about 35,O00O00 horsepower of wa
ter power. To develop and use even
half of this means conserving the labor
of 100000 men now employed in coal
mining. If applied to furnish power
for present uses 1t would relieve the
railroads of the United States of the
necessity of transporting more than
| 100000 tons of coal year, most Of
it for their own USE
Electrifcation of the railroads means
better and cheaper transportation. To
bring 100000 men from the bowels of
the earth and put them to work in the
J sunshine, in factories and on the farms.
means not only new supply of farm
and manufacturing labor, but lettering
the condition of these men and making
this country better place to live In
from every human point of view.
But to get these results, to get any
development and use of water power
we first must have federal legislation
that will open the water powers to
use. The United States senate the 9th
er day passed the Shields bill by a
vote of 46 to %. This measure gives

! der careful restrictions to dam nayiga-
BILE streams and build power plants
therein. A bill providing for leasing
of power sites in the public domain
has passed the house and is now being
debated in the senate. Certain men

to do for ammonia and nitric acid?
In the process Of coking coal some

Science has answered the question,
as 1t answers most questions. Other

this cheap electricity to burn the oxy-

atmospheric nitrogen into forms Of

chemical, manufacturing and agricul-
tural uses.
The supply of nitrogen in the air is
1nexhaustible so far as it can be ex-
pressed in human terms. Above each
acre of land on the continent there are
"a, 600 tons of nitric acid in the form of
free nitrogen. Europe is using 100000

The astounding thing in the United
States today is that we do not wake
up and take advantage Of our oppor-
tunities. Our natural resources, the
richest in the world, are largely neg
lected. OF our water powers, which
compare favorably with those of any
other country, we are using only 10
per cent. 1t is said that only per
cent of our agricultural lands are pro.

A Waste of Two Billions.
In comparison with the enormous
development and use of water powers
in Europe not a single large hydro.
electric plant has been built in the
United States for several years. Not
one electrochemical plant has been
established in this country. Not an
ounce of atmospheric nitrogen is being
produced within our borders In the
last ten years we have, by neglecting
our water powers, destroyed and vast
ed more than $2,00OOO0,O0O worth OF
fuel and labor that could have been
saved.
The only reason the United States is
SO far behind other civilized countries
In this respect is that the federal gov.
eminent controls the use of our best

under a mistaken conception of con-

why EUROPE GROWS
BIGGER FARM CROPS

The European farmer uses 200 pounds
of chemical fertilizer per acre of cul.
uyated lands. The average use Of fer
tillzers in the United States is twenty
eight pounds per acre. AS result the
comparative crop yields per acre In
bushels of European and American
farms are:
Wheat. Oats. Barley. Potatoes
United States is % Is ss
We must increase our crop yields per
acre If farming In this country is to
pay and If we are to continue to feed
ourselves without excessively high cost
of living. To do so means using more
chemical fertilizers. and at present
prices or even normal before the war
prices Of both fertilizers and crops 1t
doesn't pay to use more fertilizer on
small grains and general farm and for
age crops. The increased crop yield
won't pay for the fertilizer used to pro
duce it, In Europe the bigger crop
yields pay because fertilizers are
cheaper
The German farmer buys fertilizer
for about half the price paid by the
American farmer. We pay twice as
much for potash to German monop-
oily. We pay twice as much for nj
trates or ammonia to Chilean mo.
noply. The nitrates are the most ex.
pensive element In fertilizers. Euro
pean farmers are getting their supply
from the air, made by water power.
Our water powers, which would give
us cheap fertilizers, are not used.
