NITRATE At COST
IS PLAN Of SALE
Secretary of Agriculture An
nounCeS Plans for Taking
Care of American Farmer.

The secretary OF agriculture has
announced the plan for the sale and
distribution of the 100000 tons OF
nitrate Of soda for fertilizer use
purchased under the provision in
the food control act which author
lies the president TO secure nitrate
of soda and 10 supply il to farmers
for cash at cost. 4 circular in which
the plan is fully set forth has been
mailed to the county agents, who
will receive orders for the nitrate
and transmit them TO Washington.
How to- Apply for Nitrate.
The f. o. b. price at ports will be
$3.50 d ton, farmers paying the
freight charges from the port of
arrival and the state fertilizer tag
fee. The plan is that in each coun-
ty where there is a county agent
TO have the agents associate with
themselves three or more local bust
ness 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 a COM
mittee of three or more local bust
ness men will be appointed. A farm
er living in such a county who de-
sires to make application for nitrate
of soda should, if he does not know
the address of the local committee.
address an inquiry to the state di-
rectiOn OF extension for his state.
The postOffice address of the direct
or of extension in each state IS given
in the circular. The ships carrying
the nitrate will be directed to the
most convenient ports, including
Charleston, Wilmington, Savannah,
Norfolk and Baltimore. Represen-
tatives, who also will serve without
compensation. have been or will be
selected to handle the shipments at
these places.
Apply by February 4.
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 committees by Feb. 4. AS the
I AiALi ate unutI the law can De sofa
only for cash, the farmer will be re-
quired 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, &C
cOmpanied by the amount cover
ing the same. If the quantity Of nj
trate that can be secured will fill all
orders, each farmer Will secure the
amount he requests; otherwise il
will be necessary to allot the nitrate
TO those applying for il so that il
may participate on equal terms in
its distribution. None of the nitrate
will be sold to dealers. either direct
~ or indirectly. 1t will be sold only
10 farmers directly for cash at cost.
and generally not in excess of the
amounts used by them heretofore.
The government is making every
effort TO reach farmers who desire
part of this nitrate, but states that
II will be impossible for the county
agents or other persons TO visit every
individual farmer, and urges all who
desire 10 purchase nitrate TO get in
touch with their local county agent
or member of their local commit

TERMINATION OF SEED
CORN.

/.
Even where seed corn has been
carefully gathered and stored it
should be thoroughly tested in the
spring before planting. The best
way TO do this, says the United
States department. of agriculture. is
TO make a seed corn testing box and
test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect, and not injured at the tip
when il was removed from the ear.
Hand Smelling will give much fewer
injured tips than machine Smelling.
and should be used with all seed
corn. If three or more kernels out
of 10 from any one ear fail to grow
il will be wise to test every ear in
the entire supply of seed. If the
100 tested ears show no poor ones,
further testing of the supply is UNI
necessary.
II must not be thought. says the
department, that good results from
the termination tests are sure in
dex of high productivity. Ears
slightly damaged by poor preserva-
ton. as in damp storage places, may
terminate well but will produce less
than if they had got better care.
Prevention is better than cure: and
i'm the case Of poor storage, accord
ing to seed corn specialists, cure
is impossible.

the field where il grew. that ma
