about one per cent of the output of
the Chilean nitrate fields but it has
succeeded, by it's processes, in pro-
ducing 10000 tons a year of a pro-
duct containing 25 per cent. of
potassium nitrate. This is equiv
alent to about 1900 tons of potas-
sium oxide.
The others of the 200 nitrate
plants in Chile are capable of pro-
ducing an average quantity of pot
ash equal to that produced by the
dupont Company. On this basis
the production would be 100000
tons a year but the process can be
further developed and improved.
There is good reason to believe
that in a short time it can be i'm
proved to such an extent that in
stead of recovering about one
third of the potash in the ore it
nay be possible to recover virtually
all and thereby bring the total pos
sible output up to 100000 tons a
year. This is almost as much as
the entire pre-war consumption of
potash in the United States.
Germany's sale of potash before
he war to the entire world amount
ed only to about 100000 tons a
year.
The development of these pro-
cesses by the DUPONT Nitrate Com
pany marks a great step forward
in world progress. Mr.. Barton
outlined the whole process during
his talk before the chemists and
surprised many of them by his
statement that this process had
been in operation and had been i'm
rowing constantly for long while.
In his formal statement, on the
subject, he said:
From the beginning Of our
operations we had known that
our caliche at Ofcina Della
ware" contained some potash and
that our product contained on an
average about per cent of nj
trate of potash. Working con-
stantly on various theories for
securing better yields, and work
ing that we could secure desir-
abe product for our refneries if
we could get nitrate containing
higher percentage of nitrate of
potash, we found that by taking
the mother liquor coming back
from the crystallizing pans and
evaporating it to a high density
there was deposited from this
upon cooling a product which
contained on an average about
25 per cent of nitrate of potash.
We had not found it practical
: proposition to install evaporators
for this purpose until in the lat
ter part of the year 1914 when

WARNS FARMERS TO
SAVE SEED
Shortage Reported In Many
States

A warning by the United States
Department of Agriculture is be-
ing sent to the farmers of a num-
ber of States for which serious
scarcity of seed corn for spring
planting in 1918 has been noted.
These States include, in whole or
part, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohia, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne
braska, North Dakota, and South
Dakota.
Little corn Of the 1916 crop is
available and adapted seed can not
be had from other sections. In this
emergency the Seed Stocks Com
mittee of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture urges farmers
not to overlook any possible source
of supply. 1t points out that on
many frams in the States where
seed corn is scarce it is still pos
sible to find some sound ears
which should be saved for seed. In
some cases, however, this sound
corn is being fed because the own
ers do not realize its value nor the
need for it. They have been accuS-
toned to planting much better
corn and have not stopped to con-
slider that every bushel of seed
corn they feed now would, if plant
ed, produce a hundred or even two
hundred bushels next year.
Select Sound Ears for Use as Seed
Under ordinary conditions is
paws to select seed corn in the field
and to cure it carefully, but seed
so selected and cured is not avail
able for much of the corn acreage
to be planted next spring. 1t VIII
be necessary, therefore, the spe'
cialists emphasize, to use the very
best seed that is available. Past
experience shows that it is better
to plant seed of an adapted variety
even though it is poor in germlna
ton. than to plant much better
seed of an unadapted variety. Fol
this reason, the Seed Stocks Com
mittee urges farmers to pick ovel
their corn and select the sount
ears for possible use as seed. l.
more is saved than is needed, there
will be a ready market for it mex

broken. Efforts to product nitrate
from other American sources since
the war began have not been re-
markably successful. The avail
able figures show that during 1916
only 10000 tons were produced by
all of the processes in America.
Newark post., 1918-02-20
Guard Seed Corn From Damage

This emergency seed should be
separated from the immature or
moldy corn Immediately, to pre-
vent further damage to its vitality.
If it is not already dry it should be
dried at once and kept at as uni
form a temperature as possible.
From 6 to 10 kernels from different
parts of each ear should be taken
and tested for termination. The
ears which show all or nearly all
dead kernels should be discarded.
The remaining ears should then be
shelled by hand and the grain from
each ear carefully examined, dis
carding all kernels in which the
germs appear to be dead. In this
way, it should be possible for many
farmers to get seed corn which will
rerminate from so to 50 per cent.
This seed can then be planted
thickly enough next spring to pro-
duce a stand.
Those who are not familiar with
making single-ear termination
tests of corn can get information
on how to make the test from their
county agent, from the State ex'
pertinent station. or by sending tc

War Savings Stamps sales today
passed S50,000,0000 mark and sales
have been running at the rate of
more than S2,000,000 a day. The
steadily growing volume of savings
placed at the service of the nation
by millions of citizens is splendid
evidence of your effective work.
Business as usual is a wholly
wrong theory in war times. 1t is
only by teaching the people to save
and not to compete for labor and
materials with the government that
we can put the whole strength of
the nation into this war. This is
not only our most important con-
tribution to the war but it is the
sure way to raise the required
money. In the next four weeks
we and our entire organization of
nearly two hundred thousand work
erS must make it our common pur-
pose and resolve to spread this
gospel so that there will be a mill
tant army of war savers to put war
savings certificates and the next
Liberty Loan over the top.

BROWNING, THE GREATEST
GUN GENIUS OF THE WORLD

At last the American gun man has
appeared. His name has been in the
headlines of the papers of late in can
nection with the Browning machine
gun, but nobody has ever risen to
answer the question: "Who is Brown
ipg?"
Briefly he is the greatest gun gen.
Jus the world has ever produced
and perhaps ever will produce.
A modest, retiring and charming
man of 60 odd, he has preferred to sit
in the background, draw royalties and
let someone else get the credit. for
his achievements.
Born and bred in Ogden, Utah, he
still makes his home there and in a
modest but we'll fitted-out shop car
ries on his experiments. His father
was a gun-smith in Ogden in the early

days, and piled his trade in small
shop, where the inventor of the
Browning gun and practically every
rapid-fire, automatic and machine gun
in successful use, worked as a young
man and secured the knowledge that
has won hime fame and fortune.
He is the inventor of every rife
that the Winchester Arms Company
has produced, from the single shot
rifle to repeating rifles, the famous
models 1885, 1890, 1892, 1894, 1895,
1897. Every new model brought out
by this company has been the pro-
duct of the brains Of John Browning.
He is the inventor Of the Reming-
ton shot gun, the Remington auto
matte rifle and the inventor of the
Stevens repeating shot gun. Every
gun manufactured by the Fabripue
Rationale of Liege, Belgium, before
the war, was on patents taken out by
Browning and from which he received
royalties.
Every automatic pistol manufac-
tured by the Colts rapid fire Arms
Company was invented by Browning.
He invented the famous Colt machine
gun. All the Colt automatic pistols
from the % caliber to the 45, now the
standard of the United States army,
were his inventions.
The great achievement Of his ca
reer and the first with which he would
allow his name to become connected,
is the invention of the Browning light
machine gun and the heavier water
jacket type machine gun. These are
guns which will revolutionize war
fare. The light rife, which is really
machine gun rife, can be carried
and fired from the shoulder as easily
as an ordinary rife and will fire 40
shots in 2k seconds.
The heavy water cooled machine
gun, which operates on tripod, can
fire bullets as fast as it is possible for
them to follow one another from the
muzzle of the barrel. In a recent test
it fired $4,000 shots without missing,
functioning perfectly. These. are the
guns that have been adopted as stand
ard for the United States Army.
John Browning is an American
from the soles of his feet to the top
of his head What is more, he lives
in Ogden and draws $1,000 plus, a
day, from royalties on his inventions.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

The Sunday school at the Presby-
terrain church on November oath
showed a slight increase in attend
ance over the Sabbath before. there
being ninety present, with contri-
button of S5.45. A slight change in
the classes recommended by a COM
mlttee of the week before, and the
yellow leaves and late roses, used for
decorations, carried sunshine and
| cheer in their message, made this SEES
sion of the school of especial interest.
The subject Of the mornings SER
mon was "The Lord is not in a Hur-
ry,' and the pastor dilated on the
patient deliberation with which the
Lord, whether years or ages were
consumed in the work, laid the foun~
datlon and carried out the work of
BODYBUILDING; how the lakes and
rivers were dug out and the mountains
thrown together. He emphasized the
fact that there was never a wasted
movement nor plan disarranged.
The evening sermon was preached
on the subject Mushroom Religions, :"
and DR.. Williams, in a very convinc-
ing way, told of the birth and passing
of many of the ''isms" of the world
from the early days of the church
down to the present. He explained
how and why Russellish, Eddyish, and
the like have flourished for time and
then faded while the orthodox church
universal, founded on the Eternal
Rock, still lives and grows.
The week just passed has been one
of prayer in the Presbyterian church,
and the meeting of the Missionary
Society on Monday will be an especial
one on that account. Anticipatory of
the Union Thanksgiving service which
viii be held this year at the Presby-
terrain church, when the Rev J. A.
Parker will preach, the church is re
minded that this year in particular
has especial need and reason for
Thanksgiving.
