WORLD iDlUST HAVE NITROGEN Men of 8clence Preparing for the Time When the Chilean Nitrate Fields Are Exhausted. Farmers of Europe and America have been almost entirely dependent for nearly a century upon the Chilean nitrate fields, which have stood liter ally hot ween the world and starvation. Behind a plateau fi.OOO feet ahove the sea level and 20 miles from the Pa cific coast. Is n dreary, parched, almost rainless strip of land, where nature has deposited millions of tons of nitro gen In the form of nitrate of soda. Not only the power to produce crops, but also the power to wage war and to develop many essential Industries depends upon nitrogen.. Before the war tlu? German chemist, Ostwald, wrote: "If a great war were to break out between tw'f> great powers, one of -which were to prevent tho export of saltpeter from the^ew ports of Chile, It wonld thereby, make It Impossible for the enemy to continue longer than ifs ammunition supply would last." Germany bad accumulated 000,000 tons of Chilean saltpeter before the war. It Is estimated that the Chilean nitrate beds will be exhausted some time during the present century. Scl* entlsts and engineers, therefore, are bending every effort to other mean*? of supply. Nitrogen is now being recov ered from the air by various processes and in several countries. The Walter's Mistake. "The French, since Foch's victory, a re almost in danger of getting swelled bead." said Immigration Com missioner Camlnetti of New York. "And no wonder! The French cer tainly displayed great military genius In this war. and praises and compli ments are falling on them from all sides. - "In a French restaurant the other day T ordered a steak. Then as the French waiter turned to go, I added: " 'Well done, waiter.' "The young man. flushed with pleas ure, drew himself up and ealuted smartly. " 'But you Americans, monsieur,' he said, 'you Americans also covered your selves with glory at Chateau Thierry and the Hols de Belleau.' " Lonel, . _ Station, An Isolated telephone pay station Is located at .a camp on the shore of Richardson lake, one of the Rangeley group In northern Maine. This tele phone Is more than 30 miles from the nearest station at Rumford, on the Maine Central railroad. The line runs 12 miles from tho camp to the town of Andover. where connection Is made with switchboard in the olllco of the Andover Telephone company, a sub licensee of the New England company. From that town the lines extend IS miles to Rumford. From this tele phone many emergency calls have orig inated during the ten years since the station was established. It hns been the means of saving the lives of many hunter* and woodsmen who have been injured in the north woods. Europe Likes American Milk.

Much of this may lie rlue to abnormal war demands, but the I'nlted States department >>f agrl ?tjlnjre believes that there is both an opportunity and a tendency to expand in this direction over prewar require ments. A normal Increase in dairying In this country, the department thinks, Is fully Justified, provided there l.s the nec<^sary increase In feed crops.
