That year new and more economical mining and refining methods went into <4>eration. Price reductions fol lowed. Today the price of natural nitrate of soda is about $20 per ton less than in 1927. Mechanical condition has steadily improved. Today farmers everywhere are familiar with the famous natural nitrate pellets which are so easily ap plied and which resist the hardening and caking to which other nitrogen fertilizers are subject. The improved form of this hundred-year-old product retains, of course, the natural balaiKe of many plant food elements besides nitrate.
