Ocean Washes Up Forty
Millions Yearly in kelp
PACIFIC COAST WEEDS WILL MAKE ENOUGH POTASH
AMERICA DECLARES SCIENTIST


WASHINGTON. Jan 10 The
discovery that the sea kelp of the
Pacific coast will develop enough
potash to supply the needs of the
country is, TO my mind one Of the
most important strides science has
made in this country during the
last II months said DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell recently.
To my mind the work of the
United States government in apply
ing science and in teaching people
how to apply science to their own
affairs has been of transcendent i'm
portance,' DR.. Bell continued.
The department of agriculture,
the geological survey and the bureau
of mines have done invaluable work
for the people at large. Other de-
partments and bureaus have borne
their share of the years work.
Worth $4o,ooo,ooo a Year.
Secretary Wilson told me recent
ly that his scientists have discovered
that sea kelp washed up on the
shores of the Pacific may be reduc
ed to potash which will be worth
s40,000,000 annually. Just think Of
the great value this will be to the
American people, All of this stuff
that has gone to waste in the past
will now develope lucrative bust
ness.
''lncidently it will preclude the ne
cessity of American farmers sending
abroad for their potash and it will
put stop to our controversy with

When the shipwreck occurred on

he said all the inhabitants of the

themselves to the task of aiding the

the search. Notwithstanding the

The development of the aerial
