Important Conference Today

An important conference of II of
the county agricultural agents of
this vicinity will be held today at
the agricultural school. DR.. Away,
the chief of the Division of Soils of
the University, will be present and
the subject to be taken up will be a
report and discussion Of the results
to the field experiments in the use
of phosphate fertilizers on wheat.
The school has been cooperating
with about forty farmers mostly in
Stevens county, and the use of fertil-
izer has shown an increase of from
three to 13 bushels per acre in yield
over the yield Of the check field. 1t
is hoped to increase the cooperative
work in this section next year.
Many farmers have become inter-
ested in the use of this fertilizer
since the results have been published,
but it is probable that the fertilizer
is going to be hard to obtain on &C
count of the government using sui
phuric acid in making of munitions.

Fred Hill Back from France

Old friends of Prof. Fred B. Hill
of Carleton College, will be interested
to know that he has returned from
France, where he went in the inter-
est of the Y. M. G. A. The North
field Independent says of his trip
''Mr. Hill went over in a convoy
and landed in England. He spent
one day in London where everything
gav6 evidence that England was on
strict food regulation. This was not
due to lack of food but because of
the care exercised by the government.
From England he went to France
where he spent month, ten days of
which was spent in Paris He spent
four days at the Chateau Thierry
front and up to the Vesle river. The
country here is badly devasted but
on account of the rapid retreat the
Huns did not have an opportunity
to do their worst. 1t was at this
point where the marines made great
name for themselves by their heroic
fighting. !, Mr.. Hill also visited three
base hospitals at Paris during the
last air raid, which occurred at IL
o'clock at night. When the sirens
raise the "alert" alarm the anti-air-
craft guns raise barrage and it is
very seldom that plane gets
through. People who have been in
Paris six weeks pay no attention to
these raids Mr.. Hill visited three
ports where troops are landed and
where big docks have been built.
He also visited large aviation field.
"The Americans are doing miracul-
Gus work in France by their method
of speeding the work. They have
built more docks in one year past
than had been built there in the
past ten years. Mr.. Hill also visited
large salvage plant where 10000
900 francs a month was saved from
various articles used in warfare. He
also saw the work Of the Y. M. G. A.
and Y. W.. c. A. in various centers
and visited Quentin Roosevelt's
grave. He also saw the Mount, Vern-
on, which was torpedoed by sub
marine but reached port under her
own steam. For three days Mr.. Hill
had the experience of assistant chef
in Y. M. c. A. hut at the front.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
: PLATINUM AND TIN
Red Cross Asked to Collect These
Metals to Help Up
Shortage

Red Cross workers throughout the
country are requested to devote part
of their time to collecting platinum
and tin for government uses. The
campaign is being undertaken at the
request of the War Industries board.
Despite the wide gulf that has hith-
erto separated lowly tin from .aristo-
cratic platinum, these two extremes
in metals are now brought to COM
mon level by the necessities Of war.
! Each is regarded as of equal import
ance to many of the essential indus
tries of the country and as there is
a shortage of both materials the gov
eminent has called upon the Red
Cross to help make up the deficit.
Five thousand more tons of tin
than the customary sources can be
expected to yield are required to
| meet the government needs, accord
| ing to an estimate of the War In
dustries board. In statement en-
phasizng the necessity for this metal
the board points out that the entire
| industries of the country are depen-
dent upon tin in some form or other,
/ that it would be impossible to oper-
ate an ocean steamship or build a
| railroad car without 1T. Last year
the. worlds output of tin was 1884,
423E tons and of this amount the
United States used 71,257 tons, or
fifty-eight per cent of the entire pro-
duction., This gives an idea of the
amount of tin needed here.
| The platinum shortage is not yet
serious, but the government program
makes it imperative that the reserve
supply be increased. AS the produc-
ton of platinum in Russia, the
