ational Director, told the Ex-
change Club at their Fridays

me- a goal of 5000 daily will be

as an organization they could take
part in sponsoring projects with
picnics, banquets, medals. etc. to
winners.

u. S. farmers probably will
have less nitrogen and phosphate
fertilizers to use on 1915 crops
because OF increased military use
of these materials, VIA reports.
The supply Of potash, VIA says,
will be materially larger than last
year. If farmers lay in their

clear the way for manufacture Of
