Both the willowy people Of the

they are fat. are stupider and more

POTASH.

Potash or potassium is one Of the
three Indispensable elements in the
soil required In the growth Of plant
life, the other two being nitrogen and
phosphoric acid. Scientists have esti-
mated that fertile soil contains 2 per
cent Of potassium, and in an acre Of
4rable soil one foot deep and Weighing
B,600000 pounds this would amount
to 70J0O0 pounds. Therefore, theorei.
aealiy, a crop which would remove
6fty pounds of potash yearly could be-
grown on the same land 1,400 years
before the potash would be complete,
