EPHRAIM, UTAH FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1962 Nitrogen Story Thats nothing quite so dif- ficult to catch as a handful of moke .. . but research chemists have found ways to capture one particular type of moke and change it Into nitrogen rich fertilizers and clean the air as well! In the process they have established a common bond between Utah coal miners and Utah farmers. Smoke from Utah coal is helping to produce three nitrogen fertilizers at a new Nitrogen Plant near Provo. First of its kind at a major American steel mill, the plant is located at U. S. Steels Geneva Works. The fertilizers are derived as are many thousands of other chemical compounds, from the captured black fumes given off during the coking of h high-trengt- oal. Marketed under the U.S.S. Nitrogen Brand, the three coal fertilizers ammonium ulfate, anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate are ready for use by Utah farmers again this spring. In the usually nitrogen-poo- r western soils, farmers have found that these nitrogen-ricfertilizers increase yields at low cost. is ammonia Anhydrous stored as a liquid and injected into the soil under pressure as a colorless gas. The gas adheres to clay particles in the soil and as the soil warms up, changes into nitrate nitrogen which can be easily taken up by the plants. This conversion process allows the release of nitrogen over a longer period. h their tV r Bulk application, using USS Ammonium Nitrate or USS Ammonium Sulfate, has many advantages.
