bFcrti!izcr. Arrangement Under Act
OF Congress Represents Difference
in Cost OF 500 Per Ton.
Washington. Dec. 13.-Thc farmers
the South have won their determined
fight for nitrateS at reasonable cost.
To-day il was learned here unonicially
by Senator Smith Of South Carolina
that the price Of Chilean nitrates has
been fixed so that the farmers will
know exactly how much they will have
TO pay for their supplies for the next
years crop
The price will be $55 ton in Chile
with the additional cost of SIS per
ton freight. and even the latter, in
the opinion Of Senator Smith. may be
reduced
This is a total OF $73 ton against
81" which the farmers arc paying now.
These nitratcs will begin 10 20 South
early in the year and this in sufficient
quantity for all necessary needs and at
price within the reach Of the farmers.
Official announcement of the govern
mcnt authorities is expected to be
made within the next few days.
