SALE OF
100000 TONS
OF Fertilizer
Secretary of Agriculture
Announces Distribution
of Nitrate.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
announced the plan for the sale and
distribution of the 100000 tons of nj
trate of soda for fertilizer use pur-
chased under the provision in the
Food Control Act which authorizes
the President to secure nitrate of soda
and to supply it to farmers for cash
at cost. A circular in which the plan
is fully set forth is being mailed to-
day to county agents who will receive
orders for the nitrate and transmit
them to Washington.
The fob. price at ports will be
$3.50 a ton, farmers paying the
freight charges from the port of ar
rival and the state fertilizer tag fee.
The plan is that in each county where
there is a county agent to have the
agents associate with themselves three
or more local business men in each
community, who will serve without
compensation, to assist them in the
sale of the nitrate. In each county
where there is no county agricultural
agent committee of three or more
local business men will be appointed.
~ 1cl ulSI llN1uS III SuCti d COuIly VIII
desires to make application for nitrate
of sado should, if he does not know
the address of the local committee,
address an inquiry to the state direc-
tor of extension for his state. The
post office address of the director of
extension in each state is given in the
circular. The ships carrying the nj
trate will be directed to the most
convenient ports, including Charles
ton, Wilmington, Savannah, Norfolk,
and Baltimore. Representatives who
also will serve without compensation,
have been or will be selected to han
die the shipments at these places.
Farmers will make application for
nitrate upon blanks furnished by the
county agents or the local commit
tees. Applications must be signed and
returned so as to reach the county
agents or members of the local COM
mittees by February 4. AS the nj
trate, under the law, can be sold only
for cash, the farmer will be required
to deposit the money covering the
cost of the nitrate he wishes with the
local bank, association, or individual
to be designated by the Department.
The orders will be transmitted to the
Department, accompanied by the
amount covering the same. If the
quantity of nitrate that can be secur-
ed will fill all orders, each farmer will
secure the amount he requests; 9TH
erwise it will be necessary to allot
the nitrate to- those applying for it So
that all may participate on equal
| terms in it's distribution. None OF
the nitrate will be sold to dealers
either directly or indirectly. 1t will
be sold only to farmers directly for
cash at cost, and generally not in ex-
| cess of the amounts used by them
heretofore.
The government is making every eff
fort to reach farmers who desire a
| part of this nitrate, but states that il
will be impossible for the county
agents or other persons to visit every
individual farmer, and urges all who
desire to purchase nitrate to get in
! touch with their local county agent
or a member of their local commit

DON'T SUFFER
WITH NEURALGIA
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. 1t draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec
ornmend MusteroIe for sore throat, bron-
chitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma, neural
gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the back or
oints, sprains, sore muscles bruises,
chilblains, frosted feet - colds of the

 According to the rules worked out by the officials the men who violated the liquor law and are paying the price will serve only one day for each two days if their conduct in camp warrants. If unable to pay the fine, it must be served as the court ruled. which varied in many instances. In some cases a day for a dollar was given, while in others a day for two or three dollars was the sentence im- posed by the court.
