FERTILIZER IN KENAI’S WATER POWER
A late number of the Scientific American tells of the
great strides that German chemists are making in the
manufacture of “synthesized ammonia” for fertilizer. It
is an electric process, in which cheap electric power is one
of the important factors.
The expenditure of scores of millions of dollars every
year for fertilizers by the farmers of the United States
and Europe is more and more a problem that may mean
the difference between bankruptcy and success to culti
vators of the soil.
Here in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska we have water
power for electric generating which could manufacture
synthesized fertilizer enough to supply the demands of
the United States, with some to spare to Europe.
And some day this water power will be harnessed for
just such uses.
After reading the dispatch about Jack Dempsey* Jack
Sharkey, Jack Delaney and Jack Kearns, it seems that
the names of half the noted heavyweights is Jack. And
to make matters worse, Jack Kearns is suing Dempsey for
some more “jack.”
Long live America! Uncle Sam is the world’s only
rich uncle whose 120,000,000 nieces and nephews would
get nothing if he died.
Mr. Hoover is not running so well in Chicago, we un
derstand. Mayor Thompson heard him referred to as
‘erbert ’oover.
Political biologists will rejoice in the fact that the
dark horse never becomes extinct.
The argument for the saloon as a source of govern
ment revenue is dispelled when one looks at the income
tax returns of the bootleggers.
One good thing about Jim Reed and Herb Hoover:,
Jim is just as good a Republican as Herb is a Democrat.
It is said that dining a recent cold snap New England
bootleggers put alcohol into their stuff to keep it from
freezing.
