piled 10 the men and beasts which in- habit the earth from generation to generation comes directly from the soil and through the ages the soil has been drawn upon by plant life and the re- sulting plant products have been re- moved by man for his consumption until in the older portions of the earth vast areas have become so barren that they will no longer produce crops which wiH pay for their cultivation.
 "Unfofunately nitrogen is not taken out of the soil by growing plants. put it is leeched out of the soil through the action of rain water, so that science now calculates that the nitrogen lost by this means in one year is greatly in excess of the production and dis tribution of nitrogen from all sources.
 Until recently there were only a few sources of fixed nitrogen known to man. one of these sources of nitro gen was the deposit in the sea islands known as Peruvian Guano. This was exhausted about the year 1900. Another source is ammonium sulphate from the by-product coke oven. The worlds out put of this product is about 75O,000 tons per annum and will probably never greatly exceed this amount. Another source of fixed nitrogen isAthe refuse from the great packing plants of the world where animals are slaugN tered ana DlOOus pune, anu VI dStE are all converted into nitrogen bear ing fertilizer. The only other such source of fixed nitrogen is the natural deposit lying near the Pacific coast in the Republic of Chile in a desert on the west shore of South America. This deposit yielding in 1880, 6S,500 tons; in 1890, 1925, 900 tons and in 1900. 1,45S, coo tons. This deposit during the last generation has been drawn upon so rapidly that it is now known that it, bike the Peruvian Guano deposits, will soon be exhausted, certainly by the middle of the present centdry.
 The envelope of air which surrounds the earth and which is some 50 miles in thickness is natures inexhaustible storehouse of nitrogen. The column of air above each acre of land contains s. $50 tons of nitrogen.

SHAW EXPLAINS HIS REASON FOR ASKING TAX EXEMPTIONF FOR
 NITROGEN MAKERS
Muscle Shoals Plants Will Need Every Encourage ment in Order That the
 Farmers May Get Full
 Benefit of Operation

Representative H. A. Shaw of Col bert county is intensely, interested in his bill at Montgomery which will ex- tend tax exemption of atmospheric ni- trogen and cyanimid plants to private capital.
 The measure is designed primarily to meet the situation at Muscle Shoals where the government has built large plants of this kind. The government will enjoy the tax exemption if it op- crates the plants itself, but MT. Shaw thinks it is no more than fair that such exemptions should also apply to pri- vate capital in case the government decides to dispose of the plants.
 While in Birmingham yesterday MT. Shaw gave out an interesting state- ment on the nitrogen plants and what they will mean to the south It reads:
 Wheat. corn and other grains con- tain a large per cent of nitrogen, as does cotton seed and as do various hays and grains. The nitrogen which is SUD-

Richmond, Va, August 16- - Claims of Plymouth Rock that she represents the oldest Anglo Saxon civilization in America were emphatically challenged today when the Virginia general as sembly celebrated the three hundredth anniversary of continuous existence as a law wmakng body.

For the Good of
 the Community

TOMORROW the electors of Birmingham X will vote on several bond issues The money to be raised by these bond issues is to be used in erecting school buildings, an auditorium, city hall, library and for other municipal pur- poses.
 All of these are worthy causes. Birmingham needs more schools an auditorium, a city hall in keeping with her size and importance and wealth, and library that will reflect credit on the leading industrial city of the south.
 It looks like large debt for the people to as- sume, but it is not large compared with the bene- fits that will accrue from it. Compared with the actual wealth of the city, that is the actual prop erty values the debt owed by Birmingham is not large and with the sum total of the proposed bond issues added will not make it large x It will not exceed 12 per cent of the values as they appear on the Jefferson county tax books, and it will not equal more than per cent if that much, of the actual values of the property in the city,
 That is small debt for great city to carry. It is not as large as the constitutional limit and IS considerably smaller than the debt of other large cities.
 Only few months ago inquiries were made of Birmingham as a possible convention city for one of the larger organizations of the United States. Because there was no auditorium or other hall of sufficient seating capacity to take care of the several thousand delegates and members who were expected to attend the con- vention, 1t went elsewhere.
 Birmingham children are crowded into build ings in such numbers that the best results cannot be obtained by the teachers. There are not as many school buildings in Birmingham today as there were two or three years ago, despite the fact that the population has largely increased. Unless additional houses are put up it will only bea short time until hundreds and perhaps thou sands of the children will be denied school priv ileges because of the lack of facilities That would be sad commentary on great city.
 The present city hall is too small for the proper conduct of the citys business, and it sout of date and unsuited for the purposes
 The public library on the fourth floor is cramped. More room and better arrangements are needed for it.
 A public library is one of the most useful in- stitutions in city, There every person can go for the information he cannot obtain elsewhere. line is inclined to read study, the library takes the place of the club The working man, busy all day long, can spend an hour or so there in the oodI +ho

 HAS MET ALL TESTS
 Atmospheric nitrogen both for ex-
 plosive purposes and for fertilizer pur- poses has been tried out by and has met with the approval of Italy, Nor way, Germany, France, England and
 the United States. The products have been used as fertilizers in all these countries and have proved fully equal to Chile salt petre, ammonium sul- phate and other nitrogenous fertili-
 gers in all government tests which have been conducted throughout the world
 notwithstanding ths facts, propa- ganda is now at work in this country, and even at Montgomery, spreading the false information that this product, bearing the O K of every progressive government in the world. is poisonous to the soil and to plant life.
 the reasons aDONe SldleQ. l am in favor of continuing the exemption from taxation heretofore granted by tie state of Alabam to manufacturers Of atmospheric nitrogen in this state. l If the government operates the great nitrate plants which it has built in Alabama, they will, as matter of
 course, enjoy exemrion from taxation. If these great plants are operated by fprivate capital, their success means $ | much to Ala abama, the Alabama farm CT and to the south in doubling the products of our fields, in decreasing the cost of living to our people, and in de-
 creasing the cost of fertilizers to our farmers. that I am in favor of con- tinuing the exemption for sufficient period to enable the private interests i operating these plants to gain a mar 1 ket for their products and entrench | ~ '>.--.--- '-+ the storm of oppo- 1 sition which will come to them from l the great monopolies which at present | control the fertilizer business in this l country and exact a toll from every l farmer and from Nevery consumer of

SMITH A HOLDOUT

tract Unsigned to Manager McGraw
SALARY Difference is Not Great.

New York, Feb. 15.-Earl Smith,
the young Giant catcher, obtained by
New York from the Rochester club
for five players and $4,000, has joined
the ranks OF big league holdouts.
Smith, who already is in Hot Springs,
Ark, boiling out for the training sea-
son, yesterday returned his contract
to McGraw. The youngster says the
difference between what McGraw
thinks he is worth and the ideas
Smith holds on the subject is not
great. Smith writes he is sure McGraw
will reconsider.
Smith, who is in Hot Springs, de-
clares he has q letter from Manager
McGraw in which McGraw states
that the Giant pitchers and catchers
will come to Hot Springs later and
that Smith should hold himself in
readiness to join them.
While little has been said in New
York about hOldOuts, it is a matter
of record that few regular players
have signed with the local clubs. The
only regulars signed on the Giants
are Benny Kauff and Arthur Fletcher.
George Smith, the former Columbia
pitcher and q few other youngsters,
Ryan, Sticking and Ross also are
under contract.

Camp Mills, Feb. 15.-Camp Mills
Camp Upton here last night in Recrea-
ton hall before a large crowd Of
Homecoming soldiers. Coach Lieuten-
ant DorSeys men won three of the five
bouts. The bouts were the keenest
ever staged here. Three Of the five
bouts had to go an extra round before
the judges could decide upon the
winner
The bout which the doughboys
seemed to enjoy most was that be-
tween Sergeant Jimmie Sullivan, of
the Quartermaster department at
Camp Mills, and Private Paul Doyle,
of Camp Upton. Sullivan, who. before
entering the service, represented the
Union Settlement A. c.. and held the
New York State 125-DoCnd amateur
boxing title, won the bout after an eN-
ira round was required The bout was
a fast one. The men met in the 12o-
pound class.
Another former New York City
amateur champion who represented
Camp Mills Won his bout. He was
Sergeant Robert Gleason, the former
Dominican Lyceum lad. Gleason had
to box only three rounds to win from
Leo Drierdam, of Camp Upton. These
boys met in the 145-pOund class.
Private Anton En-, former Paulist
A. c.. boxer representing Camp Mills,
lost the judges decision to Tommy
O'Toole, a professional boxer from
Camp Upton. Enz made it hot for his
more experienced opponent and forced
the Upton lad to go an extra round.
In the final round En- slipped and fell
and many of the spectators thought
he was knocked down.
