Months Of Negotiations Required to

Few realize how difficult a matter it
was to secure the Boston Symphony
Orchestra Players Club for their con-
cert next Monday evening, Jan. 8, in
City Hall. Only once previous have
they gone SO great a distance, during
the regular Symphony season in Bos-
ton. to give concert. Negotiations
covering months were required before
contract would be signed, Not only
was special permit from the Boston
Symphony Management required, but
it was also necessary to give guar
antee that the famous artists would be
delivered back into Boston for their
daily rehearsal before nine o'clock on
the morning following the concert.
The organization can properly be
called the cream Of the Boston Sym
phony, the greatest of all orchestras
and everyone of it's twelve members is
soloist Of international reputation.
Grace Bonner Williams, who appears
with them as special soloist, is one Of
the greatest artists who ever toured
this country as a concert singer.
To hear this group Of world famous

work for which we have been using
natures other gift-coal.
After all, the saving of coal is but
a minor matter. The saving of hu-
man labor is the greatest considera-
ton. That labor should be direct
ed to agricultural pursuits in order
to keep this country free from de-
cline at the close of the war.
The United States government has
made the start toward aiding agri-
cultural labor. The land loan bank
promises much. But the nitrogen
fixation industry is equally neces-
sary. 1t is one thing for a poor man
to acquire land through the pur-
chasing agency of money borrowed
from the government at a low rate
of interest and on long term loan.
But it is another thing to make that
land productive without something to
aid the labor of the hands. That
something is artificial fertilizer. The
ideal fertilizing agent is barnyard
compost, but our farms, too sad to
relate, have been almost depopu-
lated of live stock and this makes
it necessary to employ an artificial
stimulant and plant food.
One of our principal artificial fer
tilizers is PHOSPHORUS and another
is nitrogen. The latter is obtained
principally from salt imported from
Chile at a cost of approximately
$1OO,O00,000 a year to the people OF
this country.
The government, by spending that
amount in nitrogen fxation plants,
can save about $40 a ton or nearly
$50, 100000 a year, based on pres
ent prices of Chilean nitrates.
It would appear, then, that it is
not only the opportunity but the
duty of the government to develop
water powers for this purpose, as
we'll as to encourage the develop.
ment of power to operate our trains
and our industries and thus save
the supply as well as reduce the cost
of coal.
Proportionately as the artificial
production of nitrogen for fertilizer
is increased, just so will the avail
ability be greater and with cheaper
ed fertilizers the agricultural indus
try of the country will be advanced
Upon agriculture all progress ant
success depends.

INTEREST IN BEEF CATTLE.
Boil Weevil Stimulates Beef Cattle
Industry.

Clemson College, S. c., Jan. o.
During the past year South Caro-
lima farmers have shown great in
terest in the purchasing of regis
tered stock and the establishment
of herds for the production of beef
as indicated by reports from the
county demonstration agents. In
twenty-five counties of the state "a
herds have been started in the past
year, and SO registered beef bulls;
236 registered beef cows and heif-
ers, and GOA grade beef heifers have
been brought into the state during
the past twelve months. In these
same counties 2145 feeders have
been brought in for beef. These
figures indicate very decided trend
toward preparedness for the boil
weevil. The farmers who are forti-
flying themselves in this way will
be able to withstand the attacks of
the weevil when he launches his
offensive on them. In these same
counties the progressive farmers
have built So silos to preserve
wholesome, palatable food for their
herds of cattle.
