FULL FACTS ON
NITRATE QUESTION
my. w. ii. menaruson wrote to tiie
department about the nitrates situation
and received the following circalar
letter which explains the situatior.
in regard to this important matter:
Dear Sir:
There have been from time to time
so many statements, many of them
wholly without, warrant, in the public
press regarding- the nitrate of soda
distribution that it seems desiranie
t > furnish all interested parties with
an authoritative account of the whole
matter, including its present status.
The work of transporting- and distributing
to farmers the nitrate pnvchased
by the Government for fertilizer
use is proceeding as rapidly as
possible despite unavoidable ocean
transportation difficulties due to .inexpert
od war demands for shipping.
Ic was originally contemplated that
the 120.000 tons of 2,000 pounds each
of nitrate purchased under the provisions
of the food control Act would
be delivered at Atlantic ports at tho
rate of something over 20,000 ton.-*
per month, beginning in January. In
fact, our contracts with the companies
from whom the nitrates was purchased
called for the placing of practically
24,000 tons alongside ship in
Chile each month from January to
May, inclusive. At the time the:-e
contracts were made, it appeared th ,t
deliveries could be timed in such a
way that all applicants would receive
when needed, practically the fuli
amount of their orders. About 130,000
tons were applied for by over
73,000 farmers in quantities ranging
from one-tenth of a ton to more th..n
100 tons
In accordance with plans made in
December, each farmer who ordered
nitrate was to have boon funished c!v
same direct by our distributors at the
various ports. As the first 20,000
tens were to have arrived in January,
we purposed beginning with Florida
and working northward to supply ad
needs as they arose. Unfortunately,
on account of unexpected war tie
mands for shinpniy, ;t was impossible
for the Shipping Hoard to assign vo
sols at the rate contemplated.
The first ship received finished unloading
January Mist at Savannah.
Only 1,000 tons of its cargo wore.consigned
to the Department originally.
As soon as the exact situation was
learned, we made a successful effo.I
feet a t: ale for an addition d
f?,h00 tnos of privately owned soda c
ried hv this vessel. Thruogh the cor.r
tesy of the seller and domestic inv.
porter, this arrangement was rnado
while ihi' steam- p was on rout" fro a
Chile. Oiii- pappose was to insure tn
early needs of Florida and certain
oilier restricted areas. The discharging
of the second cargo wa;v finish' I
on. February 11 at Charleston; of 1h
111ir<I on the 20th at Wilmington.
It now became apparent that a receipt
of later cargoes would be dcla (d
and that the nitrate could not O"
handled as planned, if the relatively
small amount on hand was to be gotten
out promptly for early needs,
This was especially true as it w. s
felt that each section of the country
should have its proportional share a?
the quantity received during January
and February.
In the circumstances, it becaau
necessary for the Department to mod.
ify its plans of distribution. In tVmajority

immediately, as far as possible, for

| Exclusive of the REDONDO, whi h
; has just finished discharging at Mo!

to date as follows:
Ex S. S. Santa Barbara at Sava

Ex S. S. Maui at Charleston, S. C?
9,o4M tons.
Ex S. S. Margaret at Wilmington,
N. C.?5.011 tons.
Of this amount, more than 20,000
tons have actually been shipped tfarmers
On account of port conditions
there are possibly as much as.
1 ,(>00 tons for which shipping* instructions
have been given that the railroads
have not as yet been able U?
move. The 1,000 tons remaining on
hand will be moved out by the time
this letter reaches you.
The REDONDO has just finished
discharging her cargo. The ANN AM
will finish discharging this week.
These ships carry approximately 17,000
tons, apportioned as follows:
Ex. S. S. REDONDO at Mobile, Ala
?0,094 tons.
Ex. S. S. Annum at Norfolk, Va ?
10,005 tons.
The cargo discharged at Mobile,
i will furnish the nitrate ordered vbv
farmers in Alabama, Mississippi.
Louisiana, Arkansas, in parts of Tcr,nrsse?,
and other States in this general
region.
A part of the cargo of the Anna v.
will be discharged at New York Cit.v
1 for the needs of New York, New
I England and Northern Jersey. From
I that part of its cargo which is dis- '
charged at Norfolk there will be fur- j
nishcd all of the needs of Virginia,!
Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky,]
parts of Tennessee, Pennsylvania,!
I .
Deleware and all Middle Western ,
' States. The amounts applied for in j
interior States will be shipped from I
the port most convenient to them.
Five additional ships, with a total
; tonnage of 2G,~>00, are either in Chile
or on their way to Chile for loading
i
and will discharge the greater part of
tl.eir cargoes during May.
A sixth ship of 7,000 tons notj
weight has been tentatively assigned
j for carrying nitrate. This makes a t
t< tal of approximately 72,000 tons i
which have actually been delivered in 1
j this country for which transport.!-'
j tion arrangements have been made.
The Department has assurance that |
the remainder of the 120,000 tons con
tracteo for will come forward as I
speedily as possible. Unfortunately,1
the Kentva, one of the ships assigned
to move agricultural nitrate nn !
j whicn was to have iifted about 7,000 |
; tons, was wrecked off the coast of ,
j Chile just prior to loading*.
The unavoidable difficulties en-j
countered, due, as indicated, to unex-,
peeled war demands for shipping,
have been very great. Advices from !
the Shipping Hoard as to present shipj
ping conditions indicate that the Department
will he able substantially
I
to meet the orders received from
farmers up to February 4, the dale;
upon which the receipt of applications:
was closed. In the absence of abs<?-i
hitelv unavoidable developments, it is!
believed that all the nitrat< contract-:

from ports of distribution in the

Texas Raises More Turkeys
Than Any Other State of
Union.
For those who are favorably situated
for raising turkeys, a more profitable
side lino scarcely can be found.
Plenty of range is necsesary to raise
turkeys, so this limits the opportunity
to the farms. Turkeys are inclu-le
' in the Department of Agriculture';
program for increased poultry production.
and specialists of the Department
point cut how and where
increases can bo obtained.
Turkeys are especially suited to th;
i lain and stock farms wh< re there :>
ample ranging ground abounding in
such turkey food as grasshoppers ami
other insects, weed seeds, waste grain
such as is left in the fields after harvest,
and nuts of such varieties :r*
beechnuts, chestnuts, pecans, pine
nuts, and acorns. On such faims the
present prices of grain affect the
turkey raiser but little, for with the
exception of what is used at fattening
time the feed consumed is largely < i
such a kind ns would otherwise be
v.*ustcd.
With but little additional outlay
to the farmer many more turkey*
ci/uld and should be raised, Fedeial
specialists say. The small number c?
turkeys ])er farm in the United States
is surprising. According to the
census of 1910, which is the latest
that has been taken, only 1*1.7 per
cent of the total number of farms reported
any turkeys at all, and on
those farms reporting turkeys an average
of but slightly over four breeding
turkeys was found per farm.
Seme farms by nature of the crops
grown on them or because of unfavor
able surroundings are not adapted
lie turkey raising, but. most farms
could easily handle a breeding Hock
of from 10 to 15 hen turkeys and a
torn, raising from 75 to 150 each year
.yi a good profit.
Throughout the Middle Wo.;t,
where most of the turkeys are rais? <1,
it is unusual to see a flock of mon
than 50 on a farm, although in Texas,
where more are produced than in any
other State, flocks of several hundred
are rather common. In sections of th?
Southwest and on the Pacific Coast a
few persons have engaged in turkey
raising on a large scale, rearing a
thuosand or more eve . y ye ar. Thcr
uru HUl, fiu\vi:vi'l', CllOUg:! lUl'KOy^
raised on the Pacific Coast to .supply
the leoal demand. This is true al->
of the Atlantic Coast States. Production
in New England, once famous for
its turkeys, is very greatly reducer..
Owing to the fact that the Bronze
turkey is the heaviest, it is more
popular among turkey raisers than
other varieties. Since turkeys arc
sold by weight the heaviest birds
bring the greatest returns. When a
large number of people are to !><
served, as in hotels, restaurants, and
bearding houses, the demand is for
heavy turkeys, for family use the
demand is for small or mcdium-siv.ed
birds. Unless they are to be marketed
locally among customers who .lorn
and small b'rds, it is far more profitable
to raise the heaviest. Regarding
other characteristics, it is quite
generally averted that the Bronze
the hardiest variety, that the Bourbon
Red and White Holland arc the mos;
domestic, and that the White Holland
is the most prolific.' These qualities
; i" possessed in different degrees by
individuals of every variety, however,
and can be developed by proper management
and carfeul selection of
breeding stock.
A turkey hen that begins laying in
the middle of March will usually fini
h laving her first litter early in
; \pril, h o- second litter late ;n April,
I and her third litter about the third
week in May, depending upon the
J number of egg* . bo lays and the
j pi .?npi noss \vi<h v.-hioh she is broken
up on becoming broody. Some turkey
lions can bo made to lay four or fiv?
i li iors, but this is not usually advisable
a , poults hatched later than JuUf
do not have a chance to develop fo:
jibe Thanksgiving and Christmas mar
lets and are not sufficiently mature
! the following spring to bo used a5
I breeders.
Turkey hens can easily be broker
