TOP OFFICIALS
VISIT PERRY TO.
INSPECT CAMP.
National Matches This Year
Depends On Appropriation
For Military Use

General Charles Mullens, De-
partment Commander of the Sec
ond Army, Fort Meade, Maryland,
made an official inspection of
Camp Perry and it's new Anti
Aircraft training facilities We'd
nesday. General Mullens came
here by special plane, which land
ed at the Port Clinton airport at
1000 a. m. Wednesday and de-
parted that afternoon.
General Mullens was another of
the army's top officials who have
visited Camp Perry this summer.
Very favorable reports have been
voiced by most visitors and it is
anticipated that an announcement
will be forthcoming soon which
will make Camp Perry the official
training camp for all Second
Army anti-aircraft guard troops.
Mai. General Leo N. Kreber,
Ohio's Adjutant General, and
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Cooper, assis-
tant adjutant general, have made
several inspection trips here.
Besides Generals Mullen and
Curtis, those in the reviewing
stand for the brigade review We'd
nesday included Maj. Gen. Daniel
Strickler, 1t. Governor of Pennsyl-
vania and commanding general of
the 2Sth Division; Maj. Gen.
Frank A. Weber, Adjutant Gen
eral. of Pennsylvania, and Brig.
Gen. Brenton Wallace, artillery
commander of the 28th Division.
Maj. General C. r. Curtis, COM.
mander of the 51st Brigade,
Pennsylvania National Guards,
has been highly pleased with Camp
Perry during their encampment
which ends this weekend.
Five trainloais of the Pennsyl-
vania troops will leave the local
state reservation Saturday after.
noon to return to their homes.
Another train will depart Sunday
forenoon for the Pittsburgh area.
Motor conveys will leave both
days.
Regular Army officers and men
will remain at camp for few
mere days. Officers and men of
Company B, 74th Engineers, will
be on duty here until October /
when they will return to their
home base at Camp Campbell,
Kentucky.
According to available infor-
nation, it appears evident that
Camp Perry will be buster than
ever next year. If the Second
Army Headquarters approves the
local reservation for it's AA train
ing site, troops will be brought
here from many more eastern
states.
1t also appears probable that
more Ohio National Guard troops
will be returned to Camp Perry
for training next year, rather
than being sent to Camp After
bury, Indiana. Among troops
which are discussed for return
here next year include bands,
medical units and other special
troops.
Thirty-five members of the East
Cleveland Gun Club will use Camp
.Perry's famous rifle ranges this
weekend.
Over $50 marksmen will come
to Perry next weekend, August
1914, when the Ohio State 80
calibre big bore matches are
scheduled. Small bore marksmen,
totaling $50, will be here the week
end of August 20-21 for the Ohio
small bore shoot.

the Carlsbad area and are of great
extent.
At present the principal source of
nitrogen is ammonium sulphate, a
by-product of the coking of coal.
When coal is heated in the coking
process ammonia is driven off. This
is absorbed in sulphuric acid, from
which it is crystallized out as a
solid and later dried for use as a
fertilizer, containing 20 percent nj
trogen.
Ammonium nitrate is a product
of the fixation of atmospheric nitro
gen. In this case nitrogen from the
air is made to combine with hydro
gen derived from natural ! gas OF
some other source, to form mno
MIA. Ammonia is later converted to
nitric acid, which in turn is recon-
bined with ammonia, forming the
solid ammonium nitrate. This i'm
portant fertilizer material is largely
being shipped abroad and contains
33.5 percent nitrogen.

pected to be less than normal, especially west of the continental
divide and throughout Wyoming.
Weather Changes
The period is indicated to begin cold and disagreeable with light
snow in connection. A storm, centering over northern Montana, is
expected to move eastward from the 10th to 18th and result in light
to moderate precipitation over Montana and taper off into Wyoming
A moderate cold wave is due to overrun Montana from the north
about the 18th and Wyoming within a day for a few days of low
temperature east of the divide and also more snow.
Rising temperatures are due by the 21st, becoming unsettled and
followed by a new storm to reach western Montana about the 22nd
OF 2ad and the Dakota border within a day later. This is a favorable
time for light precipitation, especially in Montana
A brief drop in temperatures is due by the Oath, but by this time
the cold air masses T expected to be conferred to the east of this
region and therefor may affect northeast Montana most. By the 18th
a trend to much warmer, drer weather is expected to set in and gen.

tilizer was used in Montana in
1895. It had been the general belief
that the natural fertility was enough
and that It woud last for a long
time. Crops were good when the
new land was plowed, but the re-
serve fertility is soon used up as
crops are taken off.
With the low rainfall that ecu
in the greater part of Montana cor
ditions are not favorable to an
abundant v~egetative growth which
is the natural means used to develop
a good soil.
Anyone can observe the shallow
layer of dark soil ia the banks as
we drive along the highways. The
thickness and darkness of this top
layer is a measure of total fertility.
Our soils lack organic matter, and
every measure should be adopted to
correct this deficiency.
The blowing under of stubble and
all crop residue is the first means of
increasing organic matter in the soil.
Barn yard manure is good as far as
it goes, but it can never meet the
need over our large acreages. Green
anu is the best source of plant
material to turn into the soil.
The Mineral Fertilizers
Following the first use of fertiliz-
ers in Montana ia 1926, experiment
tation gradually spread over the
state. In certain regions, as the
lower Gallatin valley, the Ruby val
ley above Whitehall and the sub
irrigated pasture lands out of Cho-
teau, phosphorus deficiency in live
stock has been observed, and it was
proposed to correct this deficiency
by applying phosphate fertilizers to
the lands to improve the feeds.
Tests made in 1923 and later on
grains and alfalfa gave outstanding
results, both in increasing yield and
phosphorus content of the feeds.
Even though the results were good
there was still little interest. There
was the usual inertia to overcome
in developing any new program, and
at this time prices of farm products
went to their lowest point, the de-
preston was ON.
Production of treble superphos-
phate began at Anaconda in 1919.
The eastern states and even the
orient had been worked too as g
market for the product. There was
little hope of developing markets
near at home. AS a result of the ex-
Fermentation, however, interes'
gradually developed, and Montan;
used LOO tons of phosphate in 1881
This was checked by the depression
but by 1885 5000 tons were used
In 1915 CONSUMPTION of all fertiliz
ers reached 5000 tons. If this trens
continues the total will reach "a, 00
tons in 1855.
Elements in Fertilizers
Commercial fertilizers are mad
from three elements, nitrogen, phos
phorus and potassium, which are tn
elements most usually lacking i
the soil. The tonnage shown in tn
table above represents mostly phos
phorus.
In recent years considerable nitro
gen is being used in fertilizers, j
the ammoniated phosphates. 1t hs

The third element, potassium, has
not shown marked results as yet,
however, some complete fertilizer
containing potassium is now being
used.
Source of the Elements
Potassium comes largely from Cal
ifornia, Utah or New Mexico. 1t is

phosphate, allowing the batch -
cool and dry, after which it is ground
for use in the field. The process Is
simple, but because of the low anal
Uses the product is very heavy per
unit of phosphorus, making it expen-
sive to handle and ship.
The high analysis treble super
phosphate is more difficult to pre-
pare, but is lighter in weight per
unit of phosphorus 1t is also made
by adding sulphuric acid to raw rock
phosphate. In this process two prod
ucts are formed, a solid gypsum and
a liquid phosphoric acid. The gyp-
sum is filtered off and discarded.
The liquid phosphoric acid is re-
tanned and evaporated down to a
strong concentration 1t is then add
ed to raw rock phosphate. The mix
ture is aged, dried, ground and pei
latized to particles of suitable size
and finally bagged for shipment.
Mixed Fertilizers
In order to make mixed fertiliz-
ers, ammonium sulphate made in
the coking Of coal, treble superphos-
phate produced from raw rock phos-
phate and potassium chloride from
the salt beds are mixed together in
various proportions as demanded by
the farmer.
So far in Montana the demand has
been mostly for treble superphos-
phaee alone. A certain amount Of
the nitrogen fertilizers have been
used alone, but a great need has de-
veloped for both nitrogen and phos-
phorus as in the ammoniated phos-
pilates.
The Future Of Fertilizers
Montana has a total of SO, 0OO, 900
acres. About 81 percent of this is en-
closed as farm or ranch land, of
which 7,700,0 900 acres are in crops.
In 1945 consumption of fertilizers
was 5000 tons or 16, 000, 600 pounds,
which is a little over 2 pounds per
acre of crop land. On the lands
where most of the fertilizer is used
it is applied at the rate of 100 to
200 pounds per acre. At an average
rate of $50 pounds per acre 16,00O,-
000 pounds would cover 106, 900
acres, Dr. IA percent of the total crop
acres.
1t is apparent that we have a
long way to go in building up our
land with fertilizer. We now use g.
600 tons, and if we would use on
the average 20 pounds of fertilizer
per acre in place of 2 pounds as we
now do, Montana would consume
10000 tons of fertilizer per year.
The results on our crop produc-
ton by increased fertilization would
be startling. In a recent survey ir
the western states on irrigated lane
it has been shown that fertilizer
made an average increase per acre
on potatoes of 119 bushels, alfalfa
10 tons, and beets, As tons. On the
basis of average prices for these
crops each dollar spent for fertilizel
returned the grower 1888. When VIZ
consider hat there are 1,700, 0Ot
acres of irrigated land in Montana
n can easily see that considerabl,
more wealth can be produced if tn,
land is properly fortified.

There are approximately 5000, 900

5 bushels of wheat per acre are to be
had from fertilizing these dry lands.
Accepting the smaller estimate of
8 bushels increase per acre on the
dry lands there would be an over
all increase of 18,000,000 per year if
all the land were fortified. We have

there is still room for improvement.
