The bureau, cooperating with the
War Department, sent @. l.. Parsons,
chief chemist, to Europe to investigate
processes used there In war time In the
making OF explosives, and also used for
fertilizer. His report and recommenr
dalton were adopted In substance by
the committee on nitrate supply, and
large plant for the production Of nj
trio acid for war purposes and am
monia for agricultural purposes is In
process of erection. If this plant does
what the experts hope it will do, all
OF the nitrates needed by the United
States, even in peace times, will ulti-
mately be made here, and 1t will no
longer be necessary to depend upon
Chile with the constant fear that In
times of war the supply may be cut
off by hostile fleet. Even IL in peace
times the plant Is not able to complete
with Chile as source of nitric acid
itself. Ii can do so In fertilizer ma
terial and this country will have the
security that in war time the nitrates
can be made here.
With the present sharp decrease In
available ship tonnage and the partial

Of iron pyrites used in the manufacture
of sulphuric acid, the Bureau of
Mines was called upon TO find the most
available pyrite resources In the Unit

ed a number Of promising pyrite mines
and steps have been taken to ensure
a full domestic supply of raw material
for the making of sulphuric acid,
which is absolutely vital In war time.

FOOD PRODUCERS TO MEET.
Joint Conference at idaho Falls Jan.
uary 14-19 to Plan Big
proS}uetion.

Idaho Falls, Idaho, December b.
Extensive arrangements are being
made for the Joint Conference of
Agriculture, Live Stock, Engineering
and Irrigation Societies of Idaho, to
be held in Idaho Falls January 14-19
inclusive, 1918. This gathering of
more than 20 food-producing organiza-
lions has been arranged In answer to
the call of President Wilson and of
Food Administrators Herbert G. Hoov-
err for increased production, and as a
result Of this Conference, it is hoped
that Idaho will nearly double it's out
put within the year.
Committees, composed Of leading
agriculturists, stOckmen and engineers
from every section of the state, have
been named in charge of the arrange
ments, which call for the bringing to
the conference of dozen or more gov
eminent experts to address the var
ious societies on varied subjects per
tanning TO the farm and the care Of
stock. Every phase Of the question
of crops will be gone into fully, while
experts win be here to talk ON good
roads, tractor problems and truck
transportation. A seed show WIN BE-
conducted In connection with the an
nidl uetttHS Oh the 1uduO StdIe Seeu
Growers Association, while potato
show will also be maintained and a
manufacturers exposition conducted
for the benefit of the visitors.
I'VE believe that the advice that will
be given by government representatives
to these farmers and stockmen should
have wonderful results" states Frank
G. Bowman, president of the Idaho
Falls Club of Commerce and head
of the executive committee directing
the affairs of the conference. 'sThe
Societies have been invited to con-
gregate here during one week 50 that
the membership Of these organizations
could receive the benefit of this inter
change of IDEAS Every man has some
particular message to convey that will
be helpful to others, and the greatest
good should be derived by all who
win have the good fortune to attend
the conference"

Large Plant Under Construction to

Washington, December ID. - The
United States, under the direct stress
Of world war, Is awakening to new
commercial possibilities in the way of
new Industries that will buy their
raw materials In this country instead
of importing them as In the past, ad-
ding thousands of men to the payrolls

according to the annual report of Van.
III. Manning, director Of the Bureau of
Mines, Department of the Interior, is
sued to-day. The report discloses the
extent the military authorities have to
depend in modern warfare upon the
mineral industry and indicate in a
cautious way the part being taken by
the Bureau of Mines In obtaining a
sufficient supply of mineral essentials
from American mines and American
metallurgical plants.
Experts from the bureau have
searched the country far and wide for
metals that would add strength to the
military arm of Uncle Sam and have
reported In most instances not only
an abundance of these materials but
have added that these same metals,
employed also in peaceful industry.
can be used to build up permanent In
dustries in the United States, perhaps
destroying for all time the dependence
of the United States upon foreign
countries for necessary raw materials.
These new industries have already
shown such growth as to add mater
Tally to the American output and to
bring about diminishing importation
of raw materials. This condition, ac
c0rding to Bureau OF Mines officials
is equivalent to the production of new
tonnage for the use of the United
States. as many vessels now bringing
in raw materials from foreign coun
tries can be used for more pressing
war purposes.

NOT TO BE RAISED.
No Further Advance i'm National For
est Grazing Fees.

The Secretary of Agriculture an
nounced November 20 that further ad-
vance of grazing fees on the National
Forests will be deferred for the pres
emit He also announced that no change
will be made at this time in the ex-
listing regulations governing the issu-
ance of grazing permits for more than
one year. The reasons for this course
have been set forth by Secretary
Houston in an identical letter to the
secretaries of the American National
Live Stock Association and the. Ma
tional Woolgrowers' Association. The
letter was as follows:
1.-The further study of the value of
grazing privileges on lands within the
different National Forests, referred to
in my letter of February /, 1917, has
been made during the past summer
and indicates that In general the fees
charged this year are still below the
real value of the forage. In the mean
time, however, many important changes
have taken place, due to the present
war conditions and the stockmen have
/, been called upon to overcome many
difficulties In order to keep up the
country's supply of beef, mutton, hides,
and wool, not only for our own use but
also to help meet the needs of the al
lies.
Further Increase Deferred.

Although members of the Birming- ham team will not be here for the next two days to boost the sale of tickets for the benefit game at Redwood on Thursday for Danny Clark and Al Ellis, sick Barons, with the Pratt City cham pions, plans have been made not to allow interest in the big day to re- lax. Tickets will be placed on sale at Hagan- Dunlap Drug company in ad- dition to a number of individuals who will canvass the city's business houses
 The sale thus far has been most gratifying and indications point to one of the largest attendances of the year at Redwood. Tickets for the grandstand and bleachers as well as the boxes, will be sold for the regular price
 Sporting events of all descriptions, in addition to the game will be staged. Interest in these happenings has been also as great as the game.
 A sale of 200 tickets was made during the past week to a prominent Pratt City fan Over 1000 tickets have been sold alone in the suberbs, especially Ensley and Pratt. The entire following of the T. c. I. league will be on hand to witness their champions compare their strength with that of Southern league aggregation.
 It will be the farewell appearance of the Barons for the year. The Southern league season Is brought to a close here Wednesday with a game between New Orleans and Birmingham. In ad- dition, 1t will also be the farewell ap pearance of the Pratt aggregation prior to their invasion of the north to meet the winner of the Cincinnati Columbus series.
 Several changes .have been made in the Pratt lineup since the games with the New Orleans champions, and the new combination of the local stars has been kept a secret. They are practicing daily-both for the game with the Bar ons and further play in the semi-pro- fessional fight for the national cham pionship.
 Final details of the day will be an- nounced later. It prosies, however, to be suitable ending to Birmingham's baseball season.

New Orleans, September S-(Spe-
 C1aLJ-HaIpn U0msJocIS pitched
 superb ball this afternoon and Bir-
 mingham defeated New Orleans in
 the first game of the series, 8 to
 0. Dick Robertson, a Baron cast
 off, also hurled splendid ball in
 all except one inning. but the Bar
 ons scored enough runs in this
 round to win the game.
 The Pels touched Comstock for five bingles but pop up or an easy ground CT was the best they could do with a runner in a position to tally. On the other hand, Robertson weakened in the fifth and the entire trio of Baronial tal- lies came in this round.
 Homer Haworth opened the fifth with clean single to center and moved around to third on Pat Duncan's two- sacker to right. Duncan's hit was a Texas leaguer and was fielded poorly and slowly by Stansbury. Robertson easily disposed of Cecil Coombs, fore ing him to lift a pop fly to Barbare.
 Comstoek would not connect with Robertson's splitter and struck out. Kid Caton. however, worked Robertson for a pass and Billy Southworth cracked a clean single to center, scoring Haworth and Duncan Bill stole second and Caton scored when Higgins peg to halt Southy went into center field.
 Pete Compton was the only Pel who was able to solve Comstock's delivery with any great degree of effectiveness. He secured three hits in three trips to the pan. The Pels got only two men as far as third base.
 The second game of the series will be played tomorrow with Carmen Hill opposing Clarence Smith. The Barons make their farewell appearance at Heinemann park on Tuesday. A large Sunday crowd attended the game today The defeat practically eliminated the Pels from further chance at the flag, as they now stand four and half games behind the Crackers, who are leading.
