t

The Great Increase in Price in

Chile Is Without Justification.

Secretary Houston stated to-day(September 2G) that the Departmentcf Agriculture has for some timebeen giving careful consideration to

the problem of securing nitrate ofsoda for fertilizer use. Under a recentauthorization of Congress thereis available an appropriation of $10,000,000to be used, at the discretion ofthe President, to secure nitrate of

soda and to supply it to farmers a'

cost for cash.It is imposed to coordinate all the

Government purchases of Chilean ni- 1trate for this country through the purchasingcommittee of the war industriesboard, under the immediate supervisionof Mr. Baruch, so that therewill he no competitive bidding forthis material. This should very muchsimplify the problem and make :tfeasible to secure the best nessibloterms. The price of Chilean nitrateon board ship in Chile has greatlyincreased wihtin recent months withoutjustification. Shipping: rates a's *

hrve increased. The increase in priceis due in part to unfounded state- ['ments regarding the demand f«Chilean nitrate for munition pur-poses and for fertilizers, especiallyin connection with the S10.00v1.000 re

cently appropriated by Congress \<

purchase nitrate of soda. As a mat-ter of fact, the demands of this countryfor nitrate of soda v.-i1! ho smallerli en heretofore. The Na,?y aheadbar placed contracts for tlvs matori: lto satisfy its needs for the next l %

flounces that practically all the scdi.nnnitrate wh'ch it has been plannedto piocui'e for the gradual buildingno of the war reserve already hasdoen contracted for. The quantitywhich may be purchased for fertilizerL'i*e under tlie special appropriation ef

Congress will not be an addition tohe quantity normally used. Anyquantity purchased by tlie governmentand sold t<> farmers will simplytake the place in part of quantitiesheretofore supplied to them throughprivate agencies. As a matter of fa tunless satisfactory prices can be secured,it is probable that the farmer-*will not seek as large a quantity ofthis material as has been used in thelest year or two. Some contracts idreadyhave been made by farmers fornitrate of soda. In view of all thesefacts, it is probable that the aggregatedemand for the next five or sixmonths will be below the normal. Itis certain that unless the marketprices, which are now in the neighborhoodof $100 a ton, fall, the formers'demand for nitrate will deciease.As has been stated, the purchasing

will be handled directly through thewar industries board. The Departmentof Agriculture will cooperatewith the purchasing committee in theeffort to procure nitrate of soda. It t

is authorized by law to secure facts'as to the demand for fertilizers, ineluding nitrate of soda, their supply,cc nsumption, costs, and prices, audithe basic facts re'atinir to their own--

O:\ship. production, traasporation,manufacture, storage, and distribution.This enquiry is now being pros-,Cv utcc. .hrough Bureau of MarketsIn connection with this the needs offarmers will be ascertained and ailamounts purchased for their use, af-!too the shipments roach the ports, \v:itbe taken charge of by the depart-mont and will be distributed through

quired the licenses to submit reports,and to permit entry and inspectionof their places of business. The Presidentis further authorized, if he shul""ir.d that any storage charge, commis- (sion, profit, or practice of any licenseeis unjust, or unreasonable, or discriminatoryand unfair, to c use sue*;charge, commission, profit, or pnvticeto be discontinued, and in lieusuch charge, commission, profit, or

practice, may determine what is ju '

and reasonable and hip finding shahbe prima facie evidence in any com"in which proceedings may be brought.It is also provided that licenses mayIn- revoked for cause. If it becomesnecessary to exercise the licensingpower, the Department of Agriculture,through a special agency, willutilize the services of the licensingdivision of the Food Adminsitration.There have been available no thoroughlysatisfactory data as to the

yields of crops due solely to the aplicationof nitrate of soda, and therefore,as to the price at which farmers- an afford to use it. Realizing thisfact, the Secretary of Agriculture directedthe Bureau of Plant Industrylost spring to make 100 experiments.These experiments are being mad<with corn in 5 Southern States Yir-ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,Gorgia, and Alabama in 10 countiein each State, and on 2 farms in eachcounty. It is hoped that the resultsof th.e investigation will be availablewithin the next six weeks. When information>s secured it will promptlybe given publicity.
