under the necessity of importing
many millions of dollars of this in

Hence it was that during the pres

raised between Germany and the
United States over potash con-
tracts of the German suppliers

many is loath to make concessions
as the native resources of potash
are becoming rapidly exhausted,
and unless there shall be discover
ed some method for the substitu-
ton OF artihcially produced patas-

Germany, that country will be
forced to put the bars down upon
the exports to the United States,
and one OF the gravest of prob.

gest of agricultural nations. At
the present time the imported po-
tasslum carries as heavy price as
the users here can afford to pay,
and the supply is limited to speci-
fic contracts.

The POTATO Stalk Borer

Prof. H. A. Surface, Economic
Zoologist, Penna. Department O.:
Agriculture, has given his usual
active attention to then new potato
pest, a worm found in the stalks
OF the potato vines. Several in
tested stalks from Southern Ches-
ter and Lancaster counties have
been sent to Prof. Surface. The
worm, which apparently can be
found in almost any potato patch
is white in color, a quarter of an
inch long, with bronze head. Prof.
Surface says farmers have iustifi-
cation for their anxiety, as lie
counts this worm the most serious
pest OF the potato. If farmers do

| cumbing to the lure of Big Busi-
ness"
Does the Stanley car differ
from them in it's manner of steam
generation?"
Radically; the Stanley Cal is
simply small locomotive using
gas for fuel instead O: coal. Like
the locomotive the engine acts di-
rectly upon the rear wheels with
out the intervention of any fly
wheels, clutches, change-speed
gears, shafts, chains, universal
joints, or electrical equipment. In
fact, the analogy is complete and it
must be acknowledged that the To-
comotive is fairly efficient and
reliable means of getting about.
OF course, it goes without saying
that it is impossible to stall
Stanley engine and every speed
from that Of the tortoise to much
faster than you will care to ride
lies between two fingers of the
driver. Take ride some day,
and you'll see."
But do not the people object
to take the time necessary for rails
ing steam?'
Probably they would if they
had to, but the Stanley is always
ready to go on the instant if the
pilot is allowed to remain lighted,
and as this requires but three or
four cents worth of gasoline a day
most drivers do SO unless the car
is to be used only at long inter
walls. In any case the few minutes
required to raise steam are negli-
gible when you consider that no
time will be lost on your trip in
cranking a possible balky motor,
and they sometimes can be very,
very balky. 1t is this always ready
,eature that makes the Stanley
car favorite with many physi-
clans and they comprise an unus-
ually large percentage of Stanley
owners. A ride in one OF them is
a revelation to a gas car owner
and most Of them are entirely ig-
norant Of their capabilities"

ADVANTAGES OF
THE STEAM-CAR

rs will be seen in our adver-
tisins columns, the agency for the
Stanley Steamer has been taN.i1
by Mr.. Richard K. Whittingham
for the Delaware-Ch Chesapeake pen
insula. When Mr.. Whittingham
was asked why he selected the
seam car when the market was
flooded with gasoline cars, COM
peting for representation, he re-
Piled:
Il decided the question entirely
on the basis of efficiency. Eff
cheney is the prime requisite today
OF every animate or inanlnate
servant, and when among motor
cars you find it combined with the
lowest knuwn cost of mainten-
ance, the longest life, simplicity
and smoothness Of operation, lit
tie is left to be desired. The STAN
ley Steamers embody all these iea-
lures
why, then, do you see SO few
Stanley cars and so many gasoline
carso'
Big business is the answer to
that question. The first gasoline
cars were mostly imported, and Of
very high cost; they were seized
upon as a new toy by the very
wealthy and ultra in shionable.
They, as always, had their hosts
of imitators and the popular favor
this created was urged and stiimu-
lated by shrewd manufacturers,
who saw the tremendous profits
lying dormant in then ew field.
The response was almost over
whelming and the rush of unlimit-
ed capital into the new industry
made possible a concentration of
study and experiment that has re-
suited in the exquisitely beautiful
and complicated piece of machin-
cry that is the modern high class
gasoline automobile.
For the Stanley Brothers the
possibilities of the opportunity
held no temptation. Knowing
we'll the superiority of the steam
engine as a prime mover for a
vehicle where flexibility of opera
ton is essential, they went stead
lily along and without exploitation
or advertisement have every year
turned out of their finely equipped
factory at Newton, Mass, hun
dreds of cars only, while the gaso-
line car makers have produced
their hundreds OF thousands"
But there are other makes of
steam cars who seem to have turn
ed to gasoline car manufacture.
That is true, but unfortunately
they adopted freak methods of
steam generation requiring deli
cate and complicated apparatus
Tor automatic control which was
not always reliable under stress of
use or abuse. Then again, their
stockholders demanded share of
the golden tide flowing to the cof-
te's of the gas car makers, and
they can hardly be blamed for sue

single-barrel gun between his legs
and had shot himself through the
throat, dying instantly. Cornish was
80 years of age. He came to Wash
