Mr. Bethune was asl.ed to wire the department the smallest intity needed for immediate use in p.obeson and he wired that 26 per cent of the entire amount ordered would meet immediate needs. This would be 775 tons, as Robeson county farmers placed order for 3,100 tons. This will be shipped to Mr. Bethune, The telegram stated, in carload lots to points designated by him. Some nitrate will be weighed into bags of .200 pounds each, but owing to labor conditions at the port shipments can be made more quickly in cases where nitrate can be delivered to farmers in original bags as delivered at port. Mr. Bethune was instructed to wire amounts desired in even-weight bags and in original bags. Mr. A. W. McLean, who returned last night from Washington, consulted Steretary of Agriculture Houston in regard to nitrate of soda to be fur nished farmers at cost by the Govern ment. Mr. McLean was advised by Secretary Houston that he thought .nough soda would be available by May 15 to fill practically all the or ders placed by North Carolina farm ers. Two shiploads are already on the way to the port at Wilmington.
