Chili Pushes Nitrate Trade.

Chili, through Its minister at Washington, has offered to send experts to this country to teach American farmers how to use nitrate of soda as a fertilizer. To obtain the best results, the nitrate is placed on top of the soil soon after the plants begin to grow. While nitrate of soda is usually sold for about eighteen cents a pound, it may be obtained in large quantities at much smaller price.
