Signing of the Armistice.
More than a hundred thousand tons
of nitrate, originally produced to help
in blowing the German armies off the
map of Belgium and France, this year
will be put to the niorc peaceful work
of increasing the fertility of Ameri
can farming, soil. After the signing
nf Ko nrmutu thu'Wiir neDnrtmeut
al .,, f i, nmim-tmont. of Agri
culture 111,000 tons of nitrate at a
salvage price.
To this quantity is add-
..i in'iuin ... ,,.0iv,i from Chile bv
he Department of Agriculture too late
for distribution last year, so that u j

Department of Agriculture to 'A!illluIli,i wel,, Ullllrled by (he Rev
under the authority of the food control Jam(a Tholm,s. T,M w(.lUllg Wllg
act, which provided for its purchase L &mel rKccllU,.
and sale by the government to far
mers at cost.
Through this arrangement it is es
timated that 100,000 farmers will save
about $1,500,000 according to the
open-market price and the $81 a ton
f. o. b. shipping point charged by the
government. Farmers have taken up
the full 151,000 tons in orders ranging
from a bag of 200 pounds to an order
Ifor 300 tons.
The price last year was $75.50 a
Ion, f. o. b. shipping points, located at
six Atlantic and Gulf ports. The De
partment of Agriculture last year ar-
ranged for the shipment of 120,000
tons from Chile, but shortage of ship
ping space kept the quantity trans
ported in time for use last year down
to about 75.000 tons. This year's price
was announced early in 1919, and ap
plication blanks were sent to county
agricultural agents for distribution
to farmers.
Shipments are now being made from
21 storage points, and to date shipping
instructions have been sent from
Washington to forwarding agents cov
ering about 125,000 tons. Records
show that about 110,000 tons have
actually been shipped, and it is ex
pected that the entire 151,000 tons
ordered by the farmers will be shipped
before the end of May.
The Bureau of Markets, which is in
charge of the nitrate distribution for
the Department of Agriculture, has
appointed at each storage point a for
warding agent and has charged him
with the duty of even-weighing, re
conditioning, loading, and shipping the
nitrate on orders received from Washv
ington. These representatives receive
from the Department of Agriculture
$1 a year plus the regular commercial
rates for services rendered.
Where county nitrate requirements
are very light, farmers have been re
quested to forward cashiers' checks or
New York drafts in payment for ni
trate at the time of filing their appli
cations, after which the nitrate is ship
ped direct to them. Where county
requirements are comparatively heavy
federal nitrate distributors have been
appointed by the bureau, on the rceom-

A '
American Secures Contract Over lniv
lislum-n to Deliver Steel Wsjs.
LONDON, April ,1. iCurr'ipoml-:
euce of Associated Press.) Vankie
enterprise triumphed when the city
of Birmingham, planning to replace
its street car rails, invited bids foi
material. An Alncrichn obtained til.'
contract, although two .British 'firm:;
asked for it, and' protests have beta
so numerous that the municipal gov
eminent issued an official statement.
One of the British bidders, it was
'explained, agreed to begin delivering
fifty tons a week in April but wcul.'
not consent to a penalty clause foi
non-delivery; the other promised 12K
tons' within twenty weeks.- The U: .n
in the United States agreed tu com
plete delivery by the end of May ami
quoted a lower price than either, of tl
British manufacturers. The puce and
the fact that the authorities were very
anxious to complete the work this year
were the influencing factors in fivoi
of the American bidder.
Sending American s'tcel rails to
Birmingham is like carrying coal to
Newcastle, with the possible exception
that the purchase by the city corpora
tion of street railway rails made in the
United States was because Hirmintr
ham thus gdt better rails than if the
British product had been used.
Councilman Lee, culled upon in the
city council to. explain the puicliasc.
said rails recently supplied by British
manufacturers had not been equal to
the committee's standard, the iife of
such rails being five years instead of
the normal life of filteen years.
Aldermnn Bewley declared that lilis
statement reflected on the British si
trade industry; and another member
recalled that a rule of the council for
bade tho placing of an order with a
foreign country when the value was
more than $5000.
The controversy ended when a reso
lution was adopted approving the pur
chase of American rails but reminding
the committee of the existence of the
rule regarding foreign goods and or
dering its enforcement in tile futuie.
