Has Another Big Plant.

Germany has another nitrogen plant,
using the same Haber-Boshe process,
which was halfway built at the time
of the armistice, and which has since
beer finished. This is located at
Merseburg on the Stassfurt deposits,
and it can produce twice as much
nitrogen as the Oppau plant, or about
100000 tons IA a From plants that
employ the cyanamid and the atmos-
pheric nitrogen fxation processes,
Germany has a production of an addi-
tionaI 100000 tons of nitrogen.
The Oppau plant, which is now in
ruins, has beer visited by a number
of allied military missions since the
war. From official sources, the fol-
lowing details have been obtained:
Although Oppau was erected during
the war, absolutely no expense was
spared. The buildings were of con-
crete and brick work, the power
houses were lined with white tiles, the
office and laboratories were most ex-
~tensiye, thoughtfully designed and or
nate in their decorations. The plant
is said to nave cost nearly $60,0O0,00O
Over a hundred buildings made up
the factory and docks on the bank of
the Rhine, and the whole plant was
laid out Systematically with ample
facilities. The labOrator-
les were located in a fine building, :
with analytical, physical, technical, +:
and catalytic rooms and lecture room, :
and this building alone cost $4,000 00. :
Features of the plant were compress
of enormous strength that COM /
press a mixture of hydrogen and nj
at 200 a~tmospheres or 5000
pounds per square inch. There were
also large tanks for holding Ignite
and water gas, and large storage bins
for the chemicals.
The direct process for nitrogen pro-
1~uction, or the Haber process, used In
Oppau plant begins with the gen.
of hydrogen from water gas.
This hydrogen is purified and placed
lnder great pressure along with nj
obtained from the air by IL
luefactiOn. This mixture of gases is
into contact with what is
as a "catalyst," usually a rare
METAL like platinum. which helps one
tom of the nitrogen to combine with
hree atoms Of the hydrogen inc form
ammonia gas whose smell all of
IS know.

GIFT CORN DRIVE IS
ON AT CENTERy|LLE

CENTERVILLE, Ind, March 10
Activities in behalf of the gift corn"
drive in Center township and vicinity
occupied the attention of many people
here Wednesday. Under the super
vision of local leaders, members of
the farm bureau were making an eff
fort to pledge every farmer of the
township to some gift toward the car
load of corn that is to go out of the
county.
Contributions were being mvde in
lots ranging from 10 to 25 bushels.
Those who took the lead in securing
contributions were Wood Eliason,
Harry Smith, Ben Gaiser, James Har-
ris, D. H. Kent. John Medearis. Theo-
dore Crowder, Harry Mccoy, Floyd
Tremps, Lon Trouse, Coy Stevens and
Edward Hunt
The corn will be delivered at the
Centerville farmers elevator Thurs
day, where it will be shelled and load
ed free of charge. Arrangements are
under way to furnish refreshments
and some form of entertainment for
the farmers who contribute corn for
the famine sufferers in China.

And Now "cowless" Milk
The Chicago Tribune prints Bos-
ton special despatch telling of the
making of IAN absolutely pure cowless
milk, or in other words, a synthetic
milk This is the story as the cores
pondent of the Tribune tells it:
ut can be made by anyone at home
for a few cents a quart, according to
DR.. Earl B. Carr, Of the New England
sanitarium at Melrose, who announces
the discovery. This synthetic milk is
made of the following ingredients: Or
binary oats; ordinary peanuts; pure
water; a dash of salt.
"Dr. Carr and DR.. G. E. Conrforth,
food expert and dietist at the institu-
ton, demonstrated how the cowless
milk is made. 1t took them about five
minutes to produce quantity.
They used a little machine not I'M
like a sausage grinder. A handful OF
raw peanuts was dropped in and
ground to PUPPY mass. Next. a
quantity of steel cut oats was run
through the grinder, coming out flne
white powder. This was mixed with
the peanut pulp and. the whole was
wrapped in cheesecloth, and placed
in a bowl Over this were poured
few cupfuls of water.
THE mixture in the cloth was
kneaded under the water, which thick
ened and turned white. The 'cowless'
milk had been made"
Don't Sell Your Cows
This is a pretty good ad for the
Milrose Sanitarium, but we doubt that
the patients at that institution will
furnish testimonials as to the good
ness Of the manufactured milk. The
experiment is interesting from the
chemists viewpoint, Of course, but we
do not think the dairy men are to
unload their cows Just yet.
Pity that no report of the kind OF
butter this oatmeal and peanut milk
would churn, isn't it?

BOSTON SCH0OLHOuSE
DESTROYED BY BLAZE

Fire starting from a defective f1ue
destroyed the Boston township school
No. 6, at 1870 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The loss was estimated at So 900
by Trustee A. B. Parks. The building,
which was one-room brick structure,
was totally destroyed.
The fire was first discovered by Rus
sell Statger. student, who acts as
janitor of the school. He was work
ing inside the building and after smell
ing the smoke noticed that the roof
was on fire near the f1ue. He rushed
to call for help and several neighbors
responded promptly. Lack of water
and facilities for fighting the fire made
it impossible to save the building.
The library books and teachers desk
were carried from the building The
remaining contents of the building, in
Guiding all the students books and
desks and a piano were destroyed
School will be started at the home
Of Dennis Ryan Thursday morning.
Miss Thelma Cogshell. of Fountain
City, is the teacher at the school.
Eighteen pupils are enrolled.
Trustee Parks stated that a new
building probably would not be built
on the old site. Efforts for consolida.
ton are under way in Boston township
and this probably will lead to the
transfer of the students to Boston
school.
The school was located four miles
southeast of Richmond, and three
miles northeast of Boston.

WAYNE ASSESSMENTS
Low, STATES REPORT

Assessments in Wayne county are
below the average required for real
and personal property over the state,
according to County Assessor Math-
ews, who is compiling the averages
from the first reports turned in by
tow nship assessors and their depu-
ties. The full report has not been
completed, but indications are that
this will hold true over the county.
J. T. Todd, special representative
of the state tax board, who was in
Richmond and talked to the assessors
Tuesday, expressed dissatisfaction re-
garding the values taken in two town
ships of the county especially. 1t was
intimated by him that reassess.
ment might be required.
Mr.. Mathews expressed the idea
that the talk given Tuesday should
bear fruit in bringing more equitable
assessments from the next report of
assessors, and stated that unless full
value was obtained it would be neces-
sary to make an Increase in valua-
tionS.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Only about ten per cent Of the
25,00o,000 horses and mules in this
country are now found in towns and
cities. according to advance figures
from the 1920 census. In comment
ing upon these figures the Horse AS
ISOLATION of America says:
THE ten central states of the corn
belt, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska
and the two Dakotas, rear approx
mately three-fifths OF all the horses
and mules in the country"
The farmers Of these ten states
producing horses and mules supply
their own needs, also the heavy draft
ers, wagon horses and expressers
wanted in cities, towns and villages,
and the farm chunks for eastern states
where horse and mule production is
not so common. Pennsylvania and the
states east and north do not produce
one-fourth of the work animals they
use and draw on the central west for
their work stock. Man, of these are
farm chunks sold directly to eastern
farms, while others are horses pro-
duced and worked on the farms of the
Mississippi valley until five or six
years old, then passed to eastern cit
les. where, after six or eight years of
service. they are resold as sore-footed.
city-worn horses, to dealers who sell
them at a nominal figure to farming
sections of New England, to work the
balance of their days. Such horses
represent complete cycle from farms
to cities and back to farms again"
Packers Against Strike
The Chicago packers deny that they
favor strike of stock yard workers
in order to have a chance to market
surplus meats now in storage j.
Ogden Armour makes the following
statement for all the packers:
"The claim that the packers would
welcome 6O-day tieup Of their plants
as an aid to disposing of accumulated
stocks of meat is wholly erroneous.
There are no such accumulations.
The great bulk of the meat eaten by
the American public is not kept in
cold storage; it is fresh meat and it
has to be kept moving from the time
of slaughter until it is on the retailers

'CREENvILLE COUNCIL
CONSIDERS GAS RATE
AT WEEKLY MEETING

GREENvILLE. March ia large
number of citizens was present at the
regular meeting of the Greenville city
council Monday night, when many
matters OF importance were taken up.
After the meeting had been called to
order by President Morgan, and the
usual business of reading the minutes
and reports had been completed,
James M. Butler, of Columbus, repre-
senting the Jantha Light and Fuel
company. which supplies gas for this
city, addressed the meeting with re-
gard to raise in the gas rates here.
He stated that the citizens of Green
vile were being furnished gas at
! rate that could not be continued by
the company. and limited that but
mild increase would be acceptable
Upon motion Of Councilman Howard
the gas question was dropped for the
| time being. Two matters were re-
ferred to the sidewalk, gutter and
alley committee, being the complaint
or F. M. Wolf, concerning surface
water standing on the street at the
corner OF Oak and Chestnut streets,
and the complaint of Councilman Will
son regarding the bad condition Of
sidewalks on Sweitzer street near the
Frost greenhouse
In compliance with a petition pre-
sented to council last month by the
residents of Eleventh street, the d.
rector Of public service was directed
| to place street lights at four inter
sections on that street
Tacking of signs on telephone and
telephone and telegraph poles along
the streets was condemned in talk

pension of rules. These were for the
purchase of coal for the pumping sta
! ton at the water works, and the or
dlnance directing the improvement of
| Gray avenue.
Complaint having been recently

eral days against this, and the sigma
lures of 159 citizens secured, which
were presented to council The matter
was referred to the law committee 1t

for peddlers prohibitive
Attention was called to the condi-
tion of the fire department by Council
man Foutz, who stated that in view OF
the fact that the state encampment of
the G. A. r. was to be held in this
city in the near future, some improve
ments should be made. The matter
was referred to the improvement COM

ABANDON COMMISSION
ON fertilizer BUYS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 10
Prices on fertilizer were on the basis
of $22 Tuesday and chaging almost
hourly, according to the statement of
E. G. McCullom, mana ger of the Fed
Grated Marketing service, speaking
speaking before the meeting in the
Claypool hotel. These prices, how
ever, are near or below the cost of
production of the factories. according
to the figures of the United States
department of agriculture, McCullom
stated; and he expects changes in
prices to show increases, IA ther than
decreases, before the end of the sea
son.
Because there is difficulty in ex-
planning the one dollar commission
which the service has been receiving,
and it gives the companies a chance
to undercut, McCullom announced
Tuesday that it would be abolished
and the services of the state office
given free, the office being maintain
ed in the future by the Indiana Fed
Grafton of Farmers associations. All
expenses to this time have been paid
from commissions received on fertil-
izer sold. but no commission will be
charged In the future.
Announcement was made at the
meeting by representative from Rip
ley county. in southern Indiana. that
he had that morning left orders for
10 carloads of fertilizer for that coun-
ty in the offices of the Federated Mar
keting service.
A report was given of fertilizer pur-
chases within the last few days by
Clark and Scott, adjoining counties
near the Kentucky border. by rep
resentative from that territory. who
quoted the prices paid to show that
they were a dollar or more above the
Federated Market service quotation
of the same date.
An appeal was voiced by J. X. Ma
son of Fayette county for charitable
view of counties where short-sighted
buying committees could not be per-
sua ded to buy through the state office.
Our local conditions, the strength OF
| the fertilizer companies. and the pres
ence of fertilizer agents on commit
tees are sometimes too much for US
| to overcome" he said.

RANDOLPH AGENT
ASKS FOR ENTRIES
IN CORN CONTEST

WINCHESTER, Ind, March 16-Ap
pealing for entries in the five acre corr
contests, the following statement Is
issued by the Randolph county agent:
Since the beginning of this great
work, the increase in more and bet
ter corn for Indiana" has been quite
evident The quality of corn has been
improved by following the score card
standizing the corn and has caused
the farmer to be more careful in his
good selection and care of the corn.
1t has also encouraged the farmer
to terminate or test his corn more
carefully before planting time. By
pracuclng all these methods the in.
crease in yield per acre has been
satisfying. Our average corn Weld in
cushels per acre for Indiana are as
ioloWs: 1915, So bushels; 1916, "a
bushels; 1917, 33 bushels: 1915, &c
bushels: 1919, sc bushels, and 1920.
40 bushels.
In 1920 there were 459 contestants
IN 81 counties OF this number 100
Won bronze medals as thew produced
over IS bushels per acre and under
90 lao won silver medals, producing
30 bushels and under 100. while ~
were presented with gold medals for
producing over 100 bushels per acre.
The 1920 average was 81 bushels. In
1918. 1874 men raised over Is bushels
tc the acre, four of which reached the
100 bushel mark. In 1919, 241 produced
over 70 bushels to the acre, while "a
OF this number obtained a gold medal.
The Indiana Corn Growers assn
citation will put forth a big effort this
year to assist in organizing the coun-
ties and enroll men in the five acre
corn contest The required minimum
OF $25 in prizes, is already taken care
