I SECRET OF GERMANS
SOLVED
Process of Manufacturing Products
from Nitrogen in
Air Yields to Experiment
Dr. William Henry Nichols, a
noted manufacturing chemist and
chairman of the Board of Allied
Chemical and Dye Corporation, anInounced
at the sixty second meeting
ot the American Chemical Society
I... vii.o m(i tiiia inrs twin |)itliy, uuouuil
the ingenuity of American chemist,
bad duplicated one of the? dearest secrets
of the Germans?that of manufacturing
nitrogen products from
the nitrogen of the air.
The chemist sent out the announccmc
nt thta the new method was being
operated on an industrial scale
and that the country could be virtually
independent of the Chilean nitrates
formerly indispensable in the
manufacture of explosives, dyestiiffs
and fertilizer. The Germans used a
similar process on a vast scale during
tho war.
Mr. Nichols formerly was Chairman
of the Hoard of the General
Chemical Company, but became chair
man of tho Hoard of the Allied Dye
and Chemical Company in H>20, when
four of th?? largest chemical companies
in the United States merged
with the General Chemical. The
new organization has plants in many
cities of the East, tvilh a capital of
about $175,000,000.
"This process is the < xtraordinary
'fixation' of atmospheric nitrogfn
and acid 'synthetic production of
nitric acid and nitrates generally
which have so greatly interested
chemists and chemical manufacturers
; during tho last few years," said the
J announcement. "Although Germany
succeeded in doing it during the war
? indeed, it is said thai without it
sh< could not have continued the wai
for six months -the areompl'shment
is an entirely new one outside of
Europe, and marks mi important
step in the nrorrress of tlic Ameri
can chemical industry."
After Francis I\ Garvan. president
of the Chomieal Foundation,
Inc., had said that I ho Gorman
Chemical industry was making; every
effort to regain domination in world
markets and in ton years would have
creative forces readv for another wnr,
the dolepfat^s at Columbia University
adopted resolutions calling for the
"chemical disarmament of Germany
and a selective embargo on importation
of synthetic organic materials.
The resolutions read in part:

PLANT FALL OATS EARLY
Clemson College.?Best results are
secured with fall oats when they are
planted early. When seeded reasonably
early oats make a better growth,
giving more grazing for livestock if
desired for pasture, more protection
to the soil as a cover crop, and make
a better yield in the spring* For the
Piedmont section of South Carolina
the latter part of September of first
of October is the best time; for the
coastal plains sections October is the
best time according to Prof. C. P.
Black well agronomist.
It* oats are planted for seed production
they should be seeded alone,
but if for cover crop or for hay,

Methods of Seeding
The most co"imon p'Office to
seed oats in corn and cotton middles
with a three-tube dvill. or to sow
broadcast and plow in with a cultivator
or sweep.
In section where cotton does r.ot
make a rank growth an 1 whore it
matures early, it is a .poo! practice

soon as the cotton is a!, out. Th?s
should he done with a IimcV plow and
with a weefl hook or weed chain t<>
help cover the plants completely. This
will help materially also in the control
of the boll weevil. After the land Iv
l)een plowed, the oats may bo seeded
broadcast and harrowed in. or they
may be seeded with a disc drill.
Oat * arc also seeded after corn
frequently, and thi is a pood practice
;ind may be done successfully if velvet
beans are not thrown in the corn. If
velvet beans arc prown in the corn,
it will bo necessary either to prazo
them oil' before planting oats or to
chop them up with a heavy disc and
plow them under. This will of ner'oyo'l
