NEED OF SHORT WAVE PLANT

The events of the great flood have
demonstrated the urgent need of a
short wave plant at Terrace, With the
eromnd wires along the railway track

sume high waters also put, the lines to
the north out of commission. This is
not the first time Terrace has been

time either.

With the network of short wave
sets established by the Dominion Tele-
graphs last year, including plants at
ILazelton, Stewart, Telegraph Creek-
rommunication could be kept open if
a similar installation was made at this
point -

‘Terrace, with its varied timber and
sawmill industries, is a logical point
for n short wave plant, and breaks
such as the recent one, and smaller
ones that ‘come frequently during the
winter months would be of no cortse-
qnence as the radio would continue to

CVANAMID MADE IN CANADA

Sir William Crooks, a noted British
scientist. in 1898 aroused the world to
consideration of the grent necessity for
discovering new sources of nitrogen.
He cnlled attention to the fact that
the supply of nitrogen in Chile was
limited. At the rate the population
was increasing, he predicted ultimate
world starvation unless additional
sources of combined. nitrogen could be
discovered. Without an adequate sup-
ply of plant food nitrogen, the produe-
thon of crops could not keep up with

the steatily ineres ishing world “popula-
_ tion, Xow wwe get nitrogen from: the
‘the air: The baffling question of fix-
ing or combining the nitrogen of the
alr by chemical means on a large seale
at a sufficiently low cost was solved
by the cyanamid ‘process, White -hot
carbide, formed by, burning . me and
coke, greedily sucks up pure Ditrogen
from liquid alr and combines. with it
chemically. The mixture Is used as a
fertilizer by the farmer. |
Cyanamid is made at Ningara- ‘Falls,
Ont.,-and the largest plant in fhe en-
tire world is located there. It is the
only plant on the American continent.
The export: of this plant food is very
large. Last year it, aggregated ‘two
and a quarter million ewt. and the
value was slightly over a dollar per
ewt. The chief purchaser is the Unit-
el States, but large quantities go also
to. Japan, West Indies, British’ East
Africa, South America and Central
Amevicnn countries, as well as the Ne-
therlands, Tawatiau and Phillppine
Islands. ;

A survey of 32 members of heifer
clubs shows: that from ‘birth to ‘two

ing a heifer is $76.48. (This should
niso approximate the cost of steers.)
The price of feed was figured at farm
market vulue only. Since feed costs
represent but 7 per cent of the costs
the figure is boosted to $102.10.:
