Acid Unit Is Completed, Storage Soon Fertilizer Output Tops 40 OOO Tons Officials of the International idinerals and Chemical ame to Mason City Thursday to isit the chemical fertilizer plant ere which represents an investment of approximately a million Occasion for the visit was the ompletion of the sulphuric acid ilant which will boost production the factory above the 40.00C ons a year mark set in the 12 months ending June 30.

Capacity of the plant was 10,000 ons when it was put into opera- ion by the plant food division of International in 1946. The original plant consisted small unit for dry mixing oi ertilizer in a building 100 feel wide and 200. feet long; Almosl it was in operation, however, International's officers rec- gnized that fertilizer use in Iowa vas growing so fast that expan- ion was indicated. Plant Size Tripled The size of the plant consequently was tripled the same year were installed reating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid to produce superphos- ihate. The phosphate rock comes rom International's own mines in and the acid was purchased from manufacturers in Chicago and Dubuque.

Later al he came Dubuque. In 1949 and 1950 more area was to the plant, including a luilding that increased storage opacity'by. 20 per cent Another torage building is now being competed by Davey and Moen, Maon City, contractors, which will irovide.25 per.cent more storage space. It is 115 feet wide oy 240 eet long and will be used for bulk superphosphate storage. A'cid Supplies Tight As" the cost of sulphuric acid ncreased and the supplies diminished until they were available only about "3 months ahead, International decided it would have to build and operate its own acic plant to maintain the Mason Citj plant at maximum production.

After construction was begun in 1950 the need became even mor apparent as the Dubuque supplie had to divert most of its output tc ordnance plants. The new sulphuric acid unit, ready in operation, produces 7 tons of 100 per" cent acid 7 a da and provides "employment for men. However, it makes it possi CONTROLS AUTOMATIC--The acid operated 'entirely by automatic controls. Lights on the control panel, upper right, are green when it is operating Should anything vary from normal, the red lights flash on and the horn at upper center begins blowing to attract the attention of attendants. ble to employ 20 additional men the fertilizer plant and assures continuous employment to the entire Mason.

City force which averages 55 persons. Boost Food Output When storage building is completed plant will cover 94,600 square feet The importance of plant food in America's agricultural economy gained tremendous recogni- ion in the last decade. Agrono- nists estimate crops in this country would be considerably less "in both quantity and quality if commercial plant foods were not used. The 3 major elements needed 'or the growth of plants are ni- icgen, phosphorus and potassium-and these are the chief ingredients of mixed fertilizers. Modern fertilizer resembles chemical salts and has little odor or pronounced color.

Has Own Mines When land is deficient in phos- phorus'only, farmers often apply superphosphate as a plant 'food. Superphosphate is manufactured )y treating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. The rock is not soluble in water and so is not available to plants as food. When leated with the acid it is changed to a soluble form called super- phosphate. International is a major producer of plant food and mines its own phosphate in Florida and Tennessee and its own potash in New Mexico.

It is also a large producer potassium and phosphate chemicals and its Amino Products division is the world's largest producer of the seasoning agent, monosodium glutamate which is marketed by International under fci trade name Ac'cent to food proc essors, restaurants, institutions and consumers.
