UNCLE SAM IMPORTING
 QUANTITIES. OF POTASH

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The re- cent announcement by the department of agriculture and from other sources regarding discoveries Of large supplies Of potash in the United States lends interest to a statement prepared by the bureau of statistics, department of commerce and labor showing that the importation of potash salts is now running at the rate of over a million dollars a month and has aggregated since 1900 approximately 15 million dollars. While these potash salts entc- the country in various forms and thus under various titles. including muri- ate of potash, sulphate of potash, car bonate of potash, kainit. etc. their az gregate import value in the months ending with September. 1911. was 11H million dollars, against about million in the corresponding months of 1910 and little over million in the cor responding months of 1909. thus indi- eating a steady dnd rapid growth in the importation of this class of pro- ducts. Taking the figures for fiscal years. the total for 1911 was fl mill lion dollars, compared with less than F million in 1910, less than million in 1900 and less than two million in 1890.
 The principal classes of potash salts imported into the United States are. in the order of magnitude of imports in the fiscal year 1911: kainit. 1900 million pounds: muriate of potash. 4SI 106 million pounds; carbonate of pot ash. g million pounds; nitrate of pot ash, or crude saltpeter million pounds; and all other salts of potash. 6 million pounds. Measured by value the largest importations during the year occurred in the muriate 61s mill lion dollars: kainit. 2-3 million: the sulphate. nearly million; and the carbonate, three quarters of a million dollars.
 American farms absorb a large pro- portion of the imported potash salts. most of which are valuable as fertiliZ- |ers by reason of their large content of potash. This is especially true of

SOME FACTS ABOUT
 CULTURE OF OLIVES
(BX Gcroid Rohinsonl.

The olive business has been brought tc q high state of perfection in the Salt River valley of Arizona Accu- rate first hand information regarding the industry has been obtained through the kindness of the Munger brothers, representing one of the two olive factories of the new state, and we propose to sketch the business ir brief from the planting of the tree to the marketing of the finished product.
 The climate of the Salt River val Icy, hot and tropical in character. and corresponding largely to the climate of the Mediterranean countries, where the olive has always flourished. is ideal for the production of perfect fruit The soil best adapted to the growth of the tree is deep. loose. and well drained Ground made rich in humus by the turning under Of alfalfa stubble best supplies the clements re- Cuired.
 The soil and climate being just what are required. many varieties of the olive tree flourish in the valley. Among the best are the Mission, the Manzarillo. the Navadillo, and the Colombello. The Mission. although slow in growth. produces the largest fruit and is the best variety.
 Cuttings are taken from the trees in January and set few inches apart in loose, rich soil. Here the setting grows for two years. at the end of which time it is buddCd that is a limb from a good tree of the desired variety is grafted onto it. For two years longer the tree grows in the nursery bed. During this time the original branches of the tree are cut away. and when. after four years at the nursery, the tree is finally ready to set out. the growth Of the graft forms its entire upper, or fruit bear ing part. r the original cutting is allowed to develop into tree it does not become a good producer. and it is only by grafting that the largest quantity of fruit is obtainable.
 The farther apart the trees are set in the grove the better, and forty feet each way will prove best in the long run. 4 broad low growth is in Guced by pruning. Tine wood is very tough and strong and the tree which seldom grows more than twelve feet tall. may be made to grow to al breadth almost twice as great as it's

Leighth The tree may be said to
 reach maturity at the age of ten years, but we have no knowledge Of the limit of it's life. There are bear
 ing trees in Egypt today that were l living and bearing at the time of | Christ. nineteen hundred years ago. Three or four years after it is set | out the tree begins to bear, the smal! ' white blooms appearing in March or 1 April II iS at this time that irriSa- ton iS especially important. A thor ough soaking with one-third head of water for from tWenty-fOur to | thirty-siX hours is necessary to set the blossoms. otherwise when the fruit begins to ripen it will fall from the trees The olives grow on fruit spurs each year. old spurs and non bearing branches are pruned away as they are Of no use and simply tax rhc tree.
 The picking of the olives begins in October and continues until February.
 The first picked are those for piclling green. They are hand picked and very carefully handled to prevent Eruising. About the middle of No vembcr the ripe picklinG olives are gathered with equal care. Pickling olives bring from thirty to forty dol lars per ton on the tree. oil olives are stripped from the limbs of the tree and allowed to fall on a canvas spread beneath. only thoroughly ripe fruit makes good oil. oil olives bring from twenty to thirty dollars per ton on the tree, and d good yield is from two hundred and fifty to three hundred pounds per tree. As they can be raised with one-third less labor than alfalfa olives they are q profitable crop.
 There are about one hundred and twenty-five acres of olives in the Salt River valley and the annual yield is approximately three hundred and fifty tons
 For picking the process is the same for both ripe and green olives The fruit is first put into d solution of lye to remove the acid. After staying in this solution for twenty four hours the olives are thoroughly washed and then placed in brine. In this form they are ready for market
 In making oil the olives pass through q crusher which mashes both meat and seed The crushed mass is then subjected to three hundred tons pressure in a hydraulic press. This is called the cold press" process The waste from the press is either burned under the boilers of the fac tory or sold as ostrich or chicken feed. The liquid is settled for twelve hours during which time the oil and water SeDarate The oil Is then

drawn off into d five hundred gallon tank. where it settles for from two to five months. At the end of this time it is pumped into one hundred gallon tanks to ripen. The new oil is very strong and acid and it is only after from six to twelve months of ripenirG that it is ready to be filtered and bottled and placed upon the mar ket.
 Taste is the one all sufficient test Of purity in olive oils. At all stages of its manufacture the oil is very sensitive and will readily absorb bad odors or become rancid in a tank that is not perfectly clean. This is the origin of the strong. greasy taste which some people think comes from the olive itself. The Arizona oil .s clear and pure. mild in flavor. easy to keep. and altogether of such fine quality that it has taken first pre- mium wherever exhibited. The Salt River valley is the olive country of the future and its present products are without doubt the best obtainable

AUGUSTA. Ca. Jan. 27.-oficeks OF
Richmond county and the city OF Au-
gusta are roundly denounced for lax
enforcement Of the state prohibition law
in the presentments of the grand jury
which have Just been made public.
/ The grand jury states in substance
that the officers have not done their
duty; that crime has Increased rather
than diminished ever since the enact
ment OF the prohibition law, and 1t
strongly recommends that the officers
break up the blind tigers The present
ments go on further to state that al
though there Is a large percentage Of
Augustus population opposed to a pro-
hibition law, stu because II is on the
statutes of the state II should be en-
forced The foreman Of the grand Jury
was jacob Phinizy, former mayor and
president of the Georgia Railroad bank,
The movement to have the prohibition
law enforced here Is not confined to
the grand Jury, for there Is law and
order league which is preparing to begin
a vigorous campaign so 1t is stated, to
rid the city on the blind tigers. The
outcome OF the entire matter will be
watched with the greatest interest. The
license to operate a near-beer saloon in

taxes, amounts to nearly N,4Oo, $1,000 Of

OPEN SEASON NOW ON
FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS

Gardening as rule is the easiest hold
for ordinary city people. There are not
so many secrets about growing beets,
carrots. potatoes and beans as there are
about growing pIums and apples and
cherries Any good agricultural paper
will carry you through your expert
ments and lead you safely to success.
There is. Of course. much more 10 gar
dening than appears on the surface. but
you can learn most OF it as you move
on. You have to make your soil as wen
as cultivate your plants.
You must not count on large returns
until you have planted considerable ex-
perience as well as seeds. but with the
worst sort Of bIundeHng you can hard
" fail to get enough vegetables for
home consumption the first year; the
waste can go TO your cow and horse.
What you can do will be something like
this: From a garden five rods square.
get your table corn In succession from
July to September. You win from the

and shell beans you viii need another
