IMPORTS OF POTASH SALTS
American Farms Absorb Large
Proportion Of Them.

American Farms Absorb a Large
Proportion Of Them.
The recent announcement by the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington and from other sources re-
garding discoveries OF large supplies
of potash in the United States lends
interest to 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 ST.
OOO,O month and has aggregated
since 1900 approximately $4,000, 900.
While these potash salts enter the
country in various forms and thus
under various titles, including muri-
ate potash, sulphate of potash. car
Donate of potash, kainit, etc, their
aggregate import value In the nine
months ending with September, 1911,
was $1l 100000, against about $1,000,
600 in the corresponding months Of
1910 and a little over S5,00000O In
the corresponding months of 1909,
thus indicating a steady and rapid
growth in the importation OF this
class OF products. Taking the figures
for fiscal years, the total for 1911
was S14.0OO,OOO. compared with less
than S12,OOO.0O0 in 1910, less than
81. 000, 900 In 1900 and less than 81
000, 900 In 1890.
The principal classes OF potash
salts imported into the United States
are, In the order of magnitude of i'm
ports in the fiscal year 1911: Kainit
1900, 100000 pounds; muriate of pot
ash, 431,000000 pounds sulphate OF
potash. 1O6,000,000 pounds: carbon
ate of potash, 23,OO0,OOO pounds; nj
