FAYORs SMALL PLANTS

Considering the wide extent of the
coasts and frontiers of the United
States and its numerous and far sep
arated supply points, both for ex-
plosives and fertilizers it will be real
lied that process capable of installa-

venient to stragetic distribution CEN
tiers, possesses a great advantage for
national purposes over a process which
must be tied to a power generating
locality possibly more or less remote
both from supplies of raw material and
from distribution depots. The most
careful study therefore should be

PATRIOTIC CORpoRATIONs

The undertakings now in hand are
consequently largely devoted to proc
ess investiga tons. Corporations which
are working with some of the most
promising processes and which are now
producing bases for the manufacture
of explosives and fertilizers, have
periodically placed at government dis
posal their plants, their trained forces
and their trade secrets for the prac-
tical tests necessary in the work of
determining the best process for fed
eral use. Steps are now being taken
to utilize these offers, and to conduct
the operations both with the purpose
of making tests and of producing at
the same time materials needed for the
federal supply of explosives. The
secrecy which existing circumstances
require concerning such matters, for
bids the saying of more along this
