giant kelp or seaweed growths of the
Pacific coast, according to an an

that this discovery may make the

potash, which is used here in enorm-

kelp, when dried, it is said, is from %
to 80 per cent potash. The kelp con-
tains iodine and other valuable BIZ

is estimated that the bi-products would
pay the expense Of extracting the
potash.
The giant kelp appears as far north
as Seattle. The experts assert that if
properly harvested, it will continue
indefinitely to yield an annual crop.
On conservative estimate, the ex-
perts say they believe that one million
tons Of potassium chloride could be
obtained annually if the whole crop
