POTASH NEAR

Indications that an Excellent De-
pOsit Exists There Supply
Now from Germany.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 29:-
Professor E. B. Voorhees, of the New
Jersey Experiment station at the
meeting of the New Jersey Microsco-
pical Society reported that the Uni
ted States geological bureau had dis
covered evidence of possible deposits
of potash in the vicinity of Bound
of the entire country.
Professor Voorhees, said the
worlds main supply is o obtained
in Germany at Stassfurt and that
hardly any money is spent in this
country trying to locate deposits
while Germany is constantly doing
this. There was a possibility that a
sufficient quantity might be found
in the beds believed to be at Bound
Brook which would justify the work
ing of this section and produce much
wealth.
Professor Nelson for the biolog-
ical section reported that his oyster
culture researches last summer at
Barnegat in which his efforts were
directed toward discovering how
through the spawning there could be
i introduced a process of preservation
| of the young oyster, were not sue

next summer.
The process of spawning was il
Illustrated and also that of how the

| quite numerous, but in the struggle
| for existence only a tenth survive of

cations by which a few stockholders
