FIND POTASH
IN GRANITE
Special Correspondence.


Washington, May 3.-Quite fire.
quently the Department Of Agriculture
turns up remarkable discovery. 1t
has now come to the front with
proposition that promises to largely, IL
not entirely divorce this country from
its dependence on Germany for the
whole Of the supply Of potash fertilizer.
This fertilized is necessity for to-
bacco and many of the other crops of
the United States, and all Of it has
to be imported. Curiously enough
there has never been discovered any
deposit of potash. salts in the United
States and the carbonate of potash
on the average 800 a ton. Thus we
not only have to pay a heavy tribute
abroad. but 1t Is supply that we must
have If it costs twice that much.
But now the Department Of Agricul-
ture states that there Is an unlimited
supply Of potash fertilizer available in
this country. The problem IL simple
in the extreme. But It Is like putting
a point on a screw. Nobody ever
thought Of 1t for many years. It Ia
just this Granite rock runs high In
potash. but there has never been any
way discovered of extracting It on a
commercially profitable basis. But 1t
seems that one Of the officials of the
bureau Of public roads. DR.. Cushman.
while experimenting about q year ago
with finely ground granite road mater
ial was suddenly struck with the idea
of trying the finely ground rock ~ q
fertilizer and letting the plants do
their own extracting. He tried the
experiment privately and It worked.
Then the plan was tried on q larger
scale by the bureau Of plant industry
and 1t was found that q tobacco crop
could be raised In the greenhouses by
using just twice the amount Of rock
that was used Of imported potash fer
tilizer. The results were Identical.
The mere fact that twice as much fer
tilizer was used. does not figure large
~. as the ground rock costs about
three dollars ton and the imported
fertilizer 800.
1ulS ScdSOl the experiment. 10 Oelu8
tried on larger scale In the tobacco
fields OF Connecticut. Virginia, Ken
lucky and Florida. It IL being worked
under regular crop conditions. And II
the experiment IL a success, as there
seems little doubt that It will be, the
problem Of home supply of potash
fertilizer IL solved. It IL possible that
the rainfall under outdoor crop condi-
tions will not be quite enough to rem
der available all Of the potash in the
finely ground rock. But even II q
tenth Of soluble potash salts have to
be mixed with the new fertiliser. It
will be q great step in advance and
will mean an immense amount OF
money saved to this country.
This 10 an epoch making discovery in
agriculture and one that promises to
mean millions Of dollars annually to
the farmers.

COFFEE WAS 1T.
People slowly Learn the Facts.

"All> my life have been such slave to
coffee that the very aroma Of It was
enough to set my nerves to quivsrtng.
II kept gradually losing my health. but

Slowly was forced to admit the truth
and the final result was that my whole
nervous force was shattered.
MY heart became weak and uncertain
In it's action and that frightened me.
Finally my physician told me. about year
ago, that must stop drinking coffee or l
could never expect to be well again.
IT was in despair, for the very thought
OF the medicines had tried so many times
nauseated me- OF course. I thought of
Postum, but could hardly bring myself to
give up the coffee. Finally I concluded
that / owed It TO myself to give Postum
a trial So / got a package and carefully
followed the directions, and what a deli
cious. nourishing rich drink II was. Do
YOU know, found II very easy 10 shift
from the coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all. Almost Immediately
after / made the change l found myself
better. and as the days went by kept on
improving. Ny nerves grew sound and

we'll balanced all the time Now l am

ABOUT THE THIRD TERN.

Tazewoll, Va, Nov. 2O.-By
tho election Of Col. Slemp 10
serve a third term in the United
States Congress, an unwritten
law has been broken in the
Ninth. For the last twenty
years no representative from
this district has served over
two terms in Congress. 1t
seems that fate, or something
unexplainable, has decreed that
neither party shall be repre-
sent in the National Congress
from the Ninth district for over
two terms IN succession. This
rule, however, was broken in
1855 when Judge John 4. Buch-
anan was sent 10 Congress for
two terms and was succeeded
by John w. Marshall who serv-
ed two terms. Marshall was
elected by the largest majority
ever given a Democrat or Re-
either. for that matter.
during this quarter of a century,
