Three southern United States SEN
ators are doing their best to have a
government plant established for the
making of nitrogen. 1t seems quite
probable that by the end of twelve
months plant producing nitrogen
from the air, and the shipment of
potash through the Panama canal
from the Pacific coast in great guam
titles at cheap rates will be in oper-
atiCn.
Senator Ellison ID. Smith, of South
Carolina, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and Senator Oscar Under
wood, of Alabama, are actively sup
porting the erection by the govern
ment of this plant, which is absolute
ly essential in case of war, and when
not needed for this purpose is to fur
ni5h raw material for the nitrogen
used in the manufacture of fertilizer.
The idea is to erect one or more
nitrogen plants to extract nitrogen
from the air and thereby be prepared
to make nitric acid without import
ing saltpeter from Chill in case of
war. AS the plants will be used but
little for the original purpose in
times of peace it is proposed when
they are serving the ends of war to
utilize the product in serving the
ends of peace in the production of
commercial fertilizer While this
subject was up before the committee
on agriculture for investigation
Senator lIoke Smith developed fully
the raw material in this country out
OF which potash can be made 1t is
SAID there are a number of beds in
the west that can be used for the
purpose of manufacturing guano, but
the thing most prominently and es-
pecially brought to the attention of
the committee was the great quantity

bout three miles from the coast. A
bout twenty five per cent of the weed
when dried consists of potash salts.
The Secretary of agriculture aft 81
looking into the matter is Arranging
fer a government plant on the Pa
citic coast for the purpose of testing
out commercially the separation OF
the dried kelp from the potash salts.
A great saving to the farmers o,
consumers in the separation of the
dried kclp from the potash salts will
be in the reduction of the freight in
tran, portation from the Pacific to
the Eastern coast. The erection OF
this plant and the utilization of kelp
III the manufacture of commercial
fertilizers is long step in a needed
and practical agricultural consul
matiCn. With such able men as the
three senators, who are so affective
~ participating in this progressive
and businesslike step, the farmers
are sure to come into their secular
salvation. w. NJ II.
