The\ncompany, it was announced at the\nmines department on-Saturday, is acquiring leases to cover forty square\nmiles of territory on the Elk river, not\nfar from Fernie, where phosphates can\nbe recovered in enormous quantities\nand manufactured into fertilizer.\nBehind this move is a scheme of\nnational importance, in effect the restocking of Canada's richest, agricultural areas, which can not go on producing grain year after year without\nthe use of fertilizer in quantities not\nused anywhere in the world yet. In\nsecuring control of deposits from which\nthis fertilizer can be manufactured, the\nConsolidated is looking to the future\nwhen the prairie farmer will have.to,\nrenew his soil with some economic form\nof fertilizer not obtainable on a big\nscale at present.\nManufacturer of fertilizer from the\nphosphate deposits of the Fernie district is another of the extraordinary\nchemical processes which have made\nthe company's Trail smelter one of the\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwonders of the mining world. .In effect,\n-it is proposed to use a product now\nwasted at Trail to turn the phosphates\ninto a substance which will build up\n' soil when it becomes exhausted from\ncontinual production of grain. This\n\"waste^by^pWdtfct\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDis^sulphutic^acidf\nused in metallurgical work in the' smel\nter. Combined with the phosphates of\nthe Fernie district it makes a substance extremely valuable as a fertilizer.\nAn experimental shipment of the fertilizer already has been made to the\nprairie provinces so that its substance may be tested under actual grain\ngrowing conditions. This material was\nprepared at Trail, but it is presumed\nthat when the project is established\non a permanent basis a plant to manufacture it will be established near the\nphosphate deposits. Then only the sulphuric acid would have to_ be shipped\nfrom tlie smelter to the manufacturing centre, and the balance to tlie\nprairies through the Crow's Nest Pass\nwould be relativedly short.\nMOSQUITO PEST\nThe mosquito is rampant this year.\nA nuisance in the cities, it is a calamity\nin the rural districts. It makes life\nmiserable for both man and beast.\nThe fact that this plague only\ndescends on this part of the world at\nintervals, and is not to any extent an\nannual visitation, is a poor consolation\nwhen the bad year comes. But that is\nprdbably at the root of failure to\n~ initiate some _ effective measures towards mosquito control. The discomforts of one bad season are soon forgotten. ucIf they were repeated year\nafter year public opinion would insist\non action.\nPractical elimination of the mosquito pest is only a matter of money,\nand it would be money well spent from\nevery angle.
