ant is opposed TO the policy of retain
ing any number of troops in San Fran
cisco engaged in the work of relief and
restoration. He believes that these
duties should be taken up by the citi-
zens of San Francisco themselves. The
longer the Amy stays there the more
danger there is of conflict of author
ity between the municipal officials and
the officers of the army. 1t is also
felt that the people of San Francisco
would be much more self-respecting If
they are shculdered with the respon-
sibility of maintaining order and re-
lieving the suffering.
The conduct of the army officers and
men in the great disaster in San
Francisco aas done much to restore to
the army the confidence and respect OF
the people, and particularly of mem
bers Of congress. It had become the

the supposed discovery of a new sup
ply of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Heretofore
the whole supply Of carbonate Of pot
ash fertilizer has come from Germany,
but DR.. Cushman, Of the roads office in
the agricultural department, believes
that he has found something IN this
country that will completely supplant
the German fertilizer.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material in his laboratory he ex-
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock a large percentage of pot
ash. He extracted this potash by eIec-
tricity, but he concluded that as
ground rock is very cheap, It might be
worth while to try the experiment OF
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried it on his own farm, and
found that the powdered rock did act
uaIly act as a fertilizer.
The commercial value Of imported
fertilizer is about 800 a ton. II is
necessary in the tobacco fields and a
number of other crops require it The
ground rock, on the other hand, can be
produced for about three dollars a
ton, and there is so much Of it in the
country that runs high in potash. and
is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered- 1t takes
about twice as much Of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results as
the imported fertilizer. but even then
the difference in the price Of IS and
500 is evidently a great card In Ia
vor of the native material The scien-
lists at the agricultural department re-
gard this as a very important dis
coYery.
