Our whoop is not wholly a war- whoop. We hope that that plant will have time, between wars, to turn out nitrogen for fertilizing purposes We have in hand 1 pkg. radish seed, 1 pkg. beet seed, 1 spade, 1 hoe, 1 rake, and 17 circulars declaring that all fertil- izers containing much nitrogen have be- come so high priced that it’s a shame to put them in the ground. Yet, to our eager, frost-bitten nostrils there cometh (occasionally) the breath of the glad spring. The lawn steameth in the balmy sun- shine (now and then) and the first robin cocketh one eye and grabeth at the early worm. And the spirit to dig and plant boileth over in our soul, whether it be in Green Lake, Rainier valley or across the lake. ‘ If there is a successful government nitrogen factory, there'll be others. Our atmosphere is loaded with nitrogen; it's free, and we cannot lay it beside our radish and our beet. It must be fixed. More power to the administration or the bill that fixes it, is our whoop.
