DESERVING OF HIGH H0N0RS
Doctor Wager Of the Darmstadt Ger
many Experiment Station Has
Done Much for Agriculture.

Fifty years ago DR.. Paul Wagner be-
came director of the experiment sta
ton at Darmstadt, which had just
been founded, and has since won for
this institution world renown,
through his investigations on plant
foods. Doctor Wagner certainly de-
serves to receive great commentator
for having. with the help of his own
method of pot experiments, substan-
TALLY extended, and firmly established
the foundation for the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers.
He was the first TO recognize and
correctly estimate the fertilizing eff
feet Of the Thomas phosphate or basic
Stag
By a steady improvement In the
methods of fertilizer experiments In
the field, he succeeded in making of
these field experiments practical
means of exact investigation.
Doctor Wagner, furthermore, has
clearly shown the results of his in
vestigations In the vegetation house,
field and laboratory, to the practical
farmer, either In articles which are
easily understood, or in inspiring lee
lures; and in this way he has contrib
uted in an enormous degree toward the
proper use of commercial fertilizers
In agriculture.
Here in the United States many of
Doctor Wagner's articles are known,
having been translated or summarized
by numerous writer's, to the great adj
vantage of American agriculture.

10 Cents
Nitrate Deposits In sahara7

The nitrates of Chile are the larg-
est known to exist, and are one of the
greatest sources Of that country's
prosperity. Their exhaustion would
mean disaster to Chile and great
loss to the world. But 1t has been
suggested that Africa might compete
with Chile, If not take the place Of
that country, in this industry. Elk
perts are said to be convinced that
nitrate deposits even more extern
sive than those of South America ex-
LIST all over the western part of the
Sahara. 1t would cost more to get the
product to the coast than 1t costs In
Chile, but 1t Is averred that this extra
expense Of transportation would only
counser-balance the high export duty
imposed on Chilean nitrates.-Wash-

More improvements
on COny Hill

Cony hill is still coming to the
fore as a merchandising center. The
latest establishment to undergo i'm
provement is the store OF the Boston
Clothing & Tailoring Co. where ex-
tensive alterations to the interior
have just been made.
l. f. Drapkin, the proprietor, is
justifiably proud of the improve
ments which make this thorough
ly up-tO- date shop.
During the past month, MIR. Drap-
kin has added new department to
his business, which includes a large
stock of high grade, smart looking.
ready-to-wear mems and boys suits.
1t is because of the success that has
greeted this innovation that the re-
modelling of the store became nee
essary to provide adequate display
room. What were formerly two
salesrooms have now been turned
into one large one and the display
windows have been made as at
tractive as any in the city. 1t is
predicted that because of the numer-
Gus changes for the better now TAX
ing place on Cony hill that this will
soon be, favorite shopping center.
