use among farmers, DR.. Parker said
recent experimental work has re-
suited in largely eliminating these
characteristics.
Fire Hazards Told.
DR.. Parker explained that am
monlum nitrate is formed in syn
thetic nitrogen plants through the
combination of nitric acid and am
monia and contains both nitrate
nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen.
While the nitrate nitrogen moves
with the soil and may be leached
by heavy rains, he said, the am
monia nitrogen in the compound is
as resistant to teaching as am
monlum Sulfate. The ammonium
nitrate is slightly acid forming in
its action on soils, he said, but pro-
duces only one-third as much
acidity as an equivalent amount of
ammonium sulfate or phosphate.
Warning that ammonium nitrate
is an explosive if improperly ham
died, DR.. Parker said, however, that
the explosive danger is eliminated if
the nitrate is handled like any
other fertilizer. The paper fertil-
izer bags should be burned when
emptied, as they create a fire
hazard, he said, and burlap or cloth
bags should be thoroughly washed
before storing.
Recommendations for use of am
monlum nitrate with various crops
should be obtained from county
agents or extension agronomists.

Inch Rockfish Limit

The Washington Chapter of the

has gone on record favoring the
enactment of legislation to make
it illegal in the District to sell
striped bass, also known as rock
fish, under II inches in length. The

outlet for illegal fish caught else

is the Chesapeake Bay.

which also has the Endorsement of

Adequate Nitrogen Fertilizer

fertilizer problems will be solved this

plants built in this country since the
beginning of the war will make
available about IS per cent more
nitrogen fertilizer than ever before,
according to a report by DR.. F. w.
Parker, director of the Agriculture
Department Division of Soil and
Fertilizer Investigations.
This nitrogen, ammonium nitrate.
long has been recognized by soil
experts as an excellent source for

use has been retarded by certain
physical characteristics which recent
experiments have largely overcome.
DR.. Parker said the new ammo

per cent of the available supply of
nitrogen this year, and will be an
important factor in making possible

D. T.. Heads Remain
Opposed 10 Savitsch,
Mason Informs Byrd

The Commissioners have not
changed their position in rejecting
the application of Dr. Eugene de
Savitsch for hospital assignment,
Commissioner Guy Mason yesterday
assured Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia.
Mr.. Mason wrote in reply to let
ter several weeks ago from Senator
Byrd, in which the Virginia Senator
denounced Senator Guffey, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania for threats
against the Health Department for
rejecting the application.
The other Commissioners join me
in thanking you for your interest in
the premises" Mr.. Mason said in his
letter. More than eight months
ago we rejected the application of
DR.. de Savitsch upon the recon-
mendation of the health officer
George C. RuhlandD. Our position
has not changed

Mr.. Mason explained TO Senator
Byrd that his delay in formally &C
knoWledglng his letter was "occa-
stoned by absence from the city on
account of Mrs. Mason's illness and
my own confinement to quarters on
account of a very bad cold" Mr..
Mason. who returned to his Office
the first part of the week, was again
confined to his home with illness
yesterday.

January %, lashed out at Senator
Guffey and urged the Commission
ers to stand their ground
Senator Byrd issued his attack
after photostatic copies of letters
of Senator Guffey to Commissioners
Mason and Young, written in the
latter part of 1912, were published.
In his letter to Mr.. Young the
Pennsylvania Senator said he
guessed "the only hope I can have
to get anything done in the Health
Department is to turn the matter
over to Senator McCarran former
chairman of the Senate District
