must be held erect. with the shoulders
thrown back and the chest expanded:

carefully guarded against, stiffness
must be avoided and an erect and yet

POTASH IN COMMON ROCKS.
Secretary Wilson Tells of Discovery
OF Great supply.

Where do you suppose we would
get our supply of potash if there should
happen TO be a war with Germany"
asked Secretary Wilson OF the depart
ment of agriculture the other day, says
q Washington special dispatch to the
New York Times.
"The only deposit OF potash In the
world that can be mined is at Stass-
furt. Germany. Our supply comes from
there. Our biologists have searched
the country over high and low 10 end
potash deposits free from other min
erals. We go to Germany stu for the
immense supply OF potash we need.
The naval writers tell you that the next
great war we have will be with Ger
many. The moment that war with Ger
many comes. IL 1t Is ever to come, we
should be cut OF from cur supply OF
potash. and 1t would go soaring up to
ten times its present price.
'Now the government has discover
ed" continued the secretary, that we
have In this cOu4 try all the potash we
can ever possibly need, and 1t is not
so very far TO seek. 1t lies about us on
almost every hillside and In every
rocky field. The discovery we owe to
the work of the good roads bureau OF
our department.
DIR. CuShman. one of our brightest
and ablest scientists. has given a great
deal OF time and study TO the problem
and has found that In a large class OF
orthOclase rocks there is as high as s
per cent OF potash. 1t has therefore
suggested itself that we can mine pot
ash very much as we do any other
mineral II we work out n process suit
ed to the conditions under which pot
ash bearing rocks Of the kind named
are found.
"Dr. Cushman has demonstrated that
by stamping such rocks and employing
an electrolytical process the potash can
be got out OF these rocks profitably. IL
Is believed that sooner or later a proc
ess will be brought out that will make
It possible 10 extract the potash from
the common granite rocks Of the or
binary hillside and mountain farm or
the eastern states. SO that the farmer
can enjoy the fertility that Is now
locked up i'm them and with the use
OF nitrogen gathering leguminous crops
gradually enrich his land so that only
now and then at long. comparative in
tervals will II be necessary for him
by the purchase Of phoSphates TO pro-
vide any fertilizer whatever from the
commercial fertilizer market"

formed in 1000 to take over the entire
