Virginia may become an import

dents. such as nitrstes and potash.
At thu present time practically all
the nitrates used in commercial fer

potash from Germany. The value
OF these two imports for use n tae

the worst part OF it is that the

Whitney, chief of the bureau of
soils in the department OF agrieui-
ture, who sent a communication to
C gresham Lever, of South Caro-
lima. on whose motion the approprl-
alton was made, states that there
are three possible sources of potash
in commercial quantities, worthy OF
consideration. He says there may
be deposits of potash salts in the
desert basin of arid regions, in the
brines Of our salt wells and its pot
ash bearing rocks and minerals.
Speaking e the brines OF the salt
wells. OF which West Virginia is
abu1dantly supplied, he said:
Many of these brines are known to
contain potash, but whether ia
workable quantities is not known
A field inspection of these salt wells
is eminently desirable and laboratory
investigations are necessary"
AS to the potash bearing minerals,
he says: Certain feldspars and
other minerals like leucite contain
relatively large percentages of pot
ash, which can be extracted by lab
oratory methods which at present are
of doubtful practicability on a COM
mercial scale Further investigation
OF this source of potash and methods
for extracting it are emineltly desir-
able"
