law Provides That Chilean Fertilizer
Shall Not BE Sold tO Farmers by

Washington, Jan. ia number of
inquiries have been reaching members
of congress from merchants and other
dealers in fertilizers in the South
the nitrate of soda which is soon to
be distributed to the farmers. Rep
resentative Lever, chairman of the
house committee on agriculture, was
asked about the matter and said TO-
day that the provision in the food
control act authorizing the purchase
and distribution of nitrate Of soda TO
the farmer specifically confines it's
sale TO farmers for cash at cost and
therefore there is no authority in the
law to place any Of this i'm the hands
of merchants or fertilizer dealers for
resale to farmers, either at cost or at
a profit.
The distribution will be made direct
to the farmer upon application by him
to an agent of the department of ag-
riculture, who will be i'm all probabil-
ity the farm demOnstrator for the
county. The department of agricul-
ture says that full details concerning
The machinery for the distribution of
nitrate of soda are now in the course
OF preparation and have about been
completed and publication Of these
details is expected during the week.
1t is hoped that under the law the
government will be able to furnish
for nitrate of soda for this year, GER
tainty all they may need up to June.
