phate has but little agricultural value,
and many materials now used in fer
tilizers could not be included.
: Pyrltes Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast Of Spain, this side
Of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
ranean freighters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
AT these places the pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphurlc acid. Later on, ton for ton
this acid is mixed with rock phosphate,
and in this way the acid phosphate OF
commerce is produced. III other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood, bone and tankagc of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production of the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production of Il
sufficient supply Of food crops.
Some of these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine
and still others are tied up in neutral
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture Of the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat in this trade will carry four
thousand tons of pyrites. Every ton
of pyrites will make In the neighbor-
hood of four tons of acid phosphate
or up to eight tons of complete fer
tiliZer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means loss of the acid for the fer

tilizer which would usually serve mp
proximately 10000 acres of corn, of
wheat, or of any other cereal crop.
1t diminishes by this much the ability
OF the farmcc to utilize to advantage
his short supply of farm labor, to
grow sufficient crops. and ut the same
time give up 10 military service the
boys of the farm.
Domestic Pyrites Help.
But this doesn't mean that we shall
have no fertilizer. All over the coun-
try there are small domestic deposits
of pyrltes. These can be and are be-
Ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and it looks as
though there will be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
is higher than that of Spanish pyrites.
and the quality often lower. The cos.
of labor In mining Is always higher,
and the cost of handling greater.
These facts mean inevitably an in
crease In the cost OF acid phosphate
and complete fertilizer. Fortunately,

WHAT CAUSED FOOD sHoRrAeE7

Herbert Hoover, u. S. Food Admin
istrator, says there have been two
principal reasons TO account for the
present food shortage. First, the "un-
kindness of nature" including the late
spring. droughts, hurricanes, poor con-
ditions of rainfall, unexpected frosts
and periods of intense heat In sections
throughout the world.
Second, he gives reduced produc-
tirity of the soil in Europe" Concern
ing this. Hoover says: "This cond.
ton has been brought about by bad
management, unskilled work, and lack
OF fertilizers; and these I'm turn can
be explained by the withdrawal of men
from farm and field to army and fac
tory, and the employment on the soil
of overwOrked women, unskllled old
men and listless prisoners. Further
more the vicious submarine has sunk
boat after boat filled with nitrntcs
and fertilizers, conspring to augment
the pauperiZation of the earth, so that
reduction in soil productivity was in
evitable."

A bushel OF corn will buy more Ter.
tilizer now than it would in 1914.
Every purchase must be considered IN
the basis of relative values rather
than dollar values.
The high quotations for spring fer
tilizerS have caused many farmers 10
ask whether il will be possible to use
fertilizers at II profit next season. The
answer tn this question may be found
by comparison of the relative pur-
chasing power of crops before the war
and ut the present lime.
In 1911 the usual corn fertilizer cost
SD per ton. To-day the same fertilizer
costs around $40 per ton--an increase
of so per cent. In l91i corn wus
worth about GO cents per bushel, talk
ing the country over. Today il sells ut
not less than Sl.30 per bushel. on the
farm-mOrc than 100 per cent increase.
The same calculation could be nude
for wheat, potatoes, or almost any
other crop (eNcepting In the case OF
those fertilizers containing potash).
Each individual farmer has merely
to consider whether fertilizers paid
before the war; If so they will pay
even better now.

SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmers Ability to Produce
L. Bumper Crops.

The grip OF the scourge of the seas
Is now, after months Of warfare, felt
by the American farmer. When the
Lusitania went down the whole world
shivered with horror-horror at the
very savagery Of the deed, yet few Of
us realized at the time that within Il
comparatively short time the entire
world would, in one way or another, be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage Of all implements of war. Least
of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability to
raise crops and do his bit in the line
Of food production.
But 1t has! The war itself In its
earliest day cut Off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-
duced the supply of Spanish pyrites
from which sulphuric acid is made.
This sulphuric acid is used In the
manufacture Of acid phosphate, and
also in the making Of complete fer
tilizers. Without 1t raw rock phos-

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the sam,
food. Six hundred thousand tons
of nitrates went Ia make explosives
last year. in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture of acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut OF this supply.
Birthstone. used as II substitute
source of sulphur. must be trans
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana ANA Texas, since
the government has found ii ncces-
sary to commander silphur-carry-
ing boats.
Large quantities of phosphate,
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now 30 by rail ut high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused IL gen,
eral advance in all raw materials.
varying from % to 100 per cent.
Burlnp bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost % cents and
are scarce ut that.
Labor which was plentiful In
1911 mt $500 per day is now almost
nnobtainable Mt $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to
conditions such as these; namely.
high-priced fertilizers.
