of the president, to secure nitrate of

purdiasing committee of the war in
dustries hoard, under the immediate
supervision of Mr. Baruch, so that
there will be *ho competitive bidding
for this material. This should very
much simplify the problem and make
it feasible to secure the best possible
terms. The price of Chilean nitrate
on board ship in Chile has greatly
increased within recent months with
out justification. Shipping ratfs also
have increased The increase in price
is due in part to unfounded state
ments regarding the demand for Chi
lean nitrate for munitions purposes
and for fertilizers, especially in con
nection with the $10,000,000 recent
ly appropriated by Congress to pur-
chaw* nitrate of soda. As a matter
of fact, the demands of this country
for nitrate of soda will he smaller
than heretofore. The navy already
has placed contracts for this material
to satisfy its needs for the next 12
months The *ar department an
nounres that practically all the to

planned to procure for the gradual
building up of the war reserve al

It is not possible to prevent alto
gether Ipsses from these causes, but
by using the best methods of storage,
it is possible to reduce them very
materially. - ; ,
This may be done by taking care
to guard against losses from each of
these' causes:
1. Sweating and heating occur if
the freshly dug potatoes are piled in
too large piles, so that the air can
not circulate between the tubers.
The risk of loss from this cause is
greatest in the fall, immediately
after the tubers have been dug; and
it is, therefore, important that pota
toes when dug should not be put in
unnecessarily large piles, nor kept
in all ill-ventilated room.
2. Rotting from getting the pota
toes wet. If the potatoes at the dig
ging time are allowed to get wet and
to go into storage in that condition,
rotting is sure to occur. Be careful
to have your potatoes dry before
storing.
3. - Injury from frost. Potatoes
are easily damaged by frost. If they
become froxen, their market value U
destroyed. Therefore, take every
precaution to protect the tubers
from frost before and after digging
4. Disease. There are several dis
eases of the potato which destroy
the tuber, snd If diseased tubers are
mixed with the aound ones, the dis
ease spreads rapidly; therefore. It Is
necessary to sort the potatoaa care
fully. eliminating all of the disease

provided that licenses may he're

There have been available no
thoroughly satisfactory data as to
the yields of crops due solely to the
application of nitrate of soda, and
therefore, as to the price at which
farmers can afford to use it. Real
izing this fact, the Secretary of Agri
culture directed the Bureau of Plant
Industry last spring to make 100.ex
periments. These experiments are
being made with corn in five South
ern States—Virginia, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia, and
Alabama—‘in ten counties In each
state, and on two farms in each
county. It is hoped that the results
of the investigation will be available
within the next six weeks. When
information is secured it will
promptly be given publicity.
