THE PRIMARY ELECTION

Every man who participated
in the primary yesterday is pledg-
ed to support all the nominees at
the November election. There
seemed to be serious misappre-
hension on the part of some voters
as to the OBJECT of voting in the
primary. A few had an idea that
by voting for one or two on the
ticket, scratching ali the other
names, they were thereby re-
lieved from the obligation OF
supporting at the general election
in November those for whom they
did not vote in the primary.
This is a serious mistake and
would be a palpable violation OF
the spirit and letterCf the primary
law.
The rules of the primary COM
init every mai who participated
in it to any extent to support the
entire ticket nominated, and it If
not a matter of choice left to the
individual voters. The obligation
to support the nominees is equally
strong whether the candidates
whom the voter prefers or some
others are nominated. A voter
is not released from his obliga'
ton to support the entire ticke'
at the general election in Novem
Der simply because he failed t.
secure the men of his choice in tn
primary.

PEACE PROSPECTS

Although the contents of Rus
sia's reply are not authoritatiVely
known in st. Petersburg, it is
stated there that Russia will
notify Japan through their
respective plenipotentiaries that
the requirements of state forbid
her making any concession upon
the question of indemnity and the
cession of Sakhalin Island.
The answer, it is said, will give
such marterial evidence OF
sincerity that Japan's refusal to
weld will force her to appeal
before the world as utterly un-
reasonable and Unsuitable. The
British Foreign Office states def
nitely that, believing Japan't
demands moderate, Great Britain
cannot intervene to ask a reduc
ton.

Value of Potash Fertilizer

EDITOR GAZETTE:-For the benefit
of our farmers and in order to secure
information as to the fertilizing value
OF potash, the following is submitted:
Soda. salt, KANT, muriate OF potash
and sulphate Of potash are all vaiua-
BILE plant foods or soil correctives
when used IN proper doses. Hard
woods, such as hickory, ash, maple,
oak and locnst, when burnt, give a
pare form OF potash. Burnt weeds
will also give potash. Soda was for
Gerly made from ashes OF kali and
otter weeds found on the Mediterranean
sea, but Is now obtained from salt
treated first with sulphuric acid, and
going through various chemioal
changes, after an application OF car
Donate Of lime, ETC., forming what ID
known as British barilla. 1t Is then
purified by intense heat and forms
carbonate OF soda. or common com
mercial soda.
Soda or salt, think. applied to the
soil would have a tendency to neutra'
lie acidty and, like the potash salts,
would also tend to produce wood hber,
and II such Is the action We arrive al
the conclusion that potash or alkali Ia
some form would prevent wheat fro n
falling where the land has an over
amount Of phosphorlc acid or toe
much lumus In shape OF straw or other
like materials.
Potash is known In chemistry as
potassium oxide, reckoned as a COM
position OF potash, salts and potsshes.
Tn. word potassium. strictly speaking,
is a chemical curiosity. 1t exists In
soil, plant life and fertilizers as
salts. such as chloride (murlate), 81 /
phate, nitrate. silicate and carbonate.
Alkali salts can be found In all
lands and are valuable fertilizer III
gradients when administered 70 the
soil in proper doses in combination
with other plant foods, but super
abundance is sure death to plant life,
lust as too much strychnlne or arsenic
Is death to man.
Alkali soil Is the result OF the &C
cumulation OF an unusual amount OF
mineral salts d1e to the lack OF drain
age or staguant water. In the SEMI
arid districts Of California or Colorado,
too much irrigation has brought these
salts to the surface in such quantities
as to ruin the land for years for agri-
cultural purposes. Time, OF course,
will correct this, but it is not pratiea
to correct 1t by artificial surface evopo-
ration, by application of neutrallzers
or by flooding. The Government has
tried the latter without definite re-
suits. The salts accumulated by the
flooding process are used ae fertilizer
ingredients.
Analysing the salts In alkali soil 20 u
find the basis to be soda, with amounts
of potash and traces of lime and mag
nesia which are Quoting from Califor-
ola Report 1890, app. Mixtures chief
ly Of sulphats OF soda (Glaubers salts)r
chloride Of sodium Common salt), and
carbonate OF soda (sal soda) in vary
ing proportions. They contain besides
small amounts of sulphste Of potash,
phosphate OF soda and nitrate OF soda
substances whose fertilizing value II
