MAKES WHEAT GROW RAPIDLY.

Farmers everywhere will be inter-
.ested in the successful experiments
Of English men Of science. who have
found a process Of treating or vital
''izing wheat in advance Of sowing 90
that it grows much more rapidly.
The process itself has not yet been
made public, but it is asserted that
when the wheat is 50 treated two
crops a year are possible on the same
field. The grain is planted in the
ordinary way as regards soil and cul-
ltivation.-Youth' Companion.

POTASH MAY Be
FOUND IN NEVADA
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HAS RE-
PORTED ON PROGRESS OF
DEEP DRILLING FOR POTASH
NEAR FALLON IN THIS STATE.

The United States geological sur
yey has just issued a short report, by
Hoyt S. Gale, on the progress OF the
work of deep drilling for potash
which is being carried on in Carson
Sink. Nevada, near the town OF Fal-
lon. While no discovery of potash
salts is announced by the survey, Mr..
Gales report is a distinct and valu-
able contribution to the discussion of
potash, setting forth clearly the
broad. basic reasons which lead the
biologists to the belief that they will
find, sooner or later, in some n or
these desert basins commercial de-
posts of soluble potash such as con-
stitute the great Staassfurt beds in
Germany.
Last winter congress appropriated
$4,000 to enable the geological sur
vey to prosecute a search for potash,
the money becoming available July l.
An appropriation of S12,5O was
also made to the bureau of soils for
a like purpose, and it IA mutually
agreed that the two appropriations
should be administered in the spirit
of cooperation, with an avoidance of
duplication in work and territory.
In a summary of the occurrence of
potash in the United States, publish
ed by the survey last winter, five gen
eral sources were mentioned-(1)
igneous rocks, CD marls. go alunite
(4) s%alines, and 90 organic sources,
including wood ashes, b~eet-sugar
molasses and residue, wool scourings,
and seaweed or kelp. The geologi-
cal survey has confined its activities
TO work on mineral saline deposits
and is devoting a large part of its
appropriation to the project of drill
ing for possible deposits of buried
salts.
The first field work under the new
appropriation was done in southern
Wyoming, in the geologic formations
termed the RED Beds" which are
known to be rich in salines, suggest
ing for many reasons the possibility
of carrying deposits of the Stassfurt
type. A considerable amount OF
study had already been devoted 20
this area and accordingly the data
relating to the Wyoming salines
were collected and reviewed and this
work was followed by field examina-
lions. These Investigations indicat-
ed that the assumption of the exis-
tence of beds of potash salts in the
Laramie Basin in southern Wyoming
is logical, but the data at hand.
which were fairly complete, proved
