ENGLISH OPEN FIRES
BLAMED FOR HEAVY
( FINANCIAL LOSSES

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Londoners
have tackled with renewed energy
this winter the problem of reducing
their fog bill which often causes
a loss to the community OF $5,000,--
600 a day.
Scientists have concluded that
while it was impossible altogether to
abolish fogs, as provided by nature,
it is possible to have comparative
ly cleaner ones by doing away with
the soft coal smoke evil caused by
some 100000 to 100000 smoking
chimneys.
Officials of the Coal Smoke Abat-
en- 1t Society estimated recently
that there were 100000 Inhabited
houses in London nearly every
room of which. including the kitchen
has its open fire place by which the
homes are heated. These fires pour
their quota of dirt into the night.
Ordinarily the scot is carried off by
the elements, but when a heavy fog
sets in the PARTICLES remain sus
pended in the atmosphere, shutting
out the sun entirely, and turn day
light into darkness. Clean fogs
could not do this.
During recent fog here, which
lasted the better part of three days
as most of them do, scientists esti
mated that there we're $50 to SOC
tons of SCOT floating about in the

have. been compiled showing that
London's annual soot-fall amounts to
something like $4,000 tons.
Every individual in the city is af
fected, more or less, by the heavy
fogs and smoke nuisance. Traffic
sometimes come almost to a stand
still. and shop dealers often close
up their stores because of lack OF
business. During the fog season
this winter alone it has been esti
mated that the loss to the commun
ity has been at least $35,O0O,0
BY a system of education, promo
ters of the idea of a cleaner fog
hope eventually to do away with the
open smokey coal fire place for
heating. These would be replaced
by gas, electricity, central heating
of the use of stoves burning antha
cite instead of the bituminous fuel
which has caused so much of the
trouble.
DR.. John S. Owens, who has taken
a leading part in the smoke abate
ment movement for more than &c
years, says that within 10 to IL
years virtually all the open fire
places will have been done away
with Broadly speaking London will
then be virtually a smokeless city
and when the fogs do come, they
will at least be clean.

MANURE BEST FERTILIZER

On plots receiving manure the yield
of crops at the Irrigation Branch Ex-
pertinent Station has been greater
than that of any plot receiving COM
mercial fertilizer for the four years
the Nitrogen Fertilizer Experiment
has been underway. This experiment
was begun on virgin soil so that the
effect of the different fertilizers could
readily be seen.
Potatoes, corn and wheat are grown
in three year rotation on these plots.
Commercial fertilizers are applied an
nually at rates varying from $50 to
300 pounds per acre while manure is
applied only once in three years at a
rate of IA tons per acre. Manure is
applied just before the potato crop.
The yields of potatoes on the diff
ferent plots this year are approxi-
mately proportionate to the yield Of
other crops in previous years. The
yields are as follows: Yard manure
14.13, sheep manure 1905, fish scraps
1924, ammonium sulphate 1924, al
falfa hay 1917, sodium nitrate 9.85,
land plaster GIL and check plots( re-
ceiving fertilizer) 1856 tons per acre.
portance of careful utilization of ma
nure. It not only excells in nitrogen
maintenance but also helps keep the
soil in good physical condition while
the reverse is true with some of the
commercial fertilizers. In some instan-
ces the use of good commercial fer
tilizers has proven profitable but if
the problem is one of soil fertility
alone it is good plan to use all
available manure before purchasing
commercial fertilizers.
