with it Contractor Z. V. Bradford
ar.d a number of workmen
who were enRaRed in repairing
the structure. Several of the

Nitrolee a Failure.
We were told today that the
electrical machinery in the
fertilizer-from-air plant at Nitrolee
has been shipped to Mount
Holly, N. C., our understanding
being that the fdttilizer-from-air
plant at Nitrolee is to be abandoned
and one constructed at
Mount Holly owing to more
favorable atmospheric conditions
at the latter point. The Nitrolee
? 1 i. il . /? A P * 1 I 1 ?
piani was uie iirsL ox lis Kina in
the Western Hemisphere, and
considerable interest attached to
its workings. The fertilizer
manufactured at the plant, we
understand, has been of a high
grade, but the output has been
limited owing to unfavorable
conditions. The working force
has all left Nitrolee, with the
exception of a watchman. - Chester
