Potash From Kelp.

The giant kelps Of the Pacific coast are
believed to be a most promising source OF
potash. These groves are frequently
very extensive and occur internationally
along our western coast from Alaska TO
southern California.
The main kelp groves arc in water at
depths OF from six to twelve fathoms,
and often the plants are ninety feet or
moro In length.
about elghty-fve square miles was sur
veyed and mapped Twenty square miles
Of this area is of very heavy growth. The
mapping work is being continued.
The average content Of potassium chlor-
ide in the kelp Is between 80 and 80 per
cent of tho dry weight. and the iodine
content is about 0.1b per cent.
The quitting and harvesting of the kelps
is now being investigated and satisfactory
results have been reported II is impor-
tant that they be cut In such a way and
at such time that the groves WIN re-
new themselves In this way they will
prove practically inexhaustible source
of potash. There are other byproducts
which can be made from the kelps, but
lack Of space forblds discussion of them
here. II is still an open question, how
ever, II II would not be more profitable
to merely dry and grind the ltelp for tile
fertilizer trade This ground material
would compare very favorably in potash
content with ordinary manure salts, and
contains besides. phosphates, nitrogen and
readily humined organic matter.
All the kclp groves are we'll within the
three mile limit and hence are under state
control. II properly policed and con-
served. they arc capable OF furnishing an
enormous tonnage of potash indefinitely

Government Work on Potash.

Although the wording OF the acts al
lowed much latitude In the method OF
applying these funds. 1t was decided that
the most practical plan, and the one
that would best meet the intent OF con-
cress and provide the greatest benefit
to the public at large, would be 10 at
tempt a scientific exploration, to be espe-
cially applied TO the public land states.
After careful review of various plans, IT
was decided for the geological survey
work TO devote a portion of the funds
to the purchase and installation OF a
drilling OUTFIT. The other plans adopted
included work along several different
lines.
First-Au investigation of the salt de-
posts and the brines and bitterns east
of the Rocky mountains.
Second-The investigation OF the occur
renee Of certain rich potash-bearing rocks
and minerals. the results OF these in
vestisations TO be described In tho short
reports issued as promptly as possible
to the public.

field iuvestiga ton In the western states,

the year. and.
Fourth-The late installa ton of a hand
drilling apparatus and establishment Of
prospecting party In certain OF the

Potash on the Desert.

The potash found In the desert salines

offers a particularly attractive and ap-

but the question of Just how large an
amount of potash many OF the desert
basins contain. and especially whether or
not commercially successful processes
may be applied to the extraction OF the
potash from those salts. Is still largely to
be solved by further work

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.--The taking OF
10000 bushels Of wheat at Chicago
and Kansas City, Mo-, for export to-
day was a surprise to the trade
throughout the entire country. OF
the above transactions 5000
bushels were reported as having been
taken TO Chicago, and the balance at
the smaller Southwestern market.
II was IL noticeable fact that the
Armour Grain company brokers were
heavy buyers of wheat in the Chi
eago pit for the past two days. but
this was said to have been in the
way of undaihg spreads between
Chicago and Minneapolis on Thurs
dag, and between Chicago and Kan
sag CITY today.
After displaying great weakness
during the morning in sympathy with
The bearish news on wheat, there was
an advance late, a weak market being
turned into one OF great strength.

The trade in corn is now between
grass and hay. Those who are
closest to the interior are OF the
opinion that the supply OF corn on
the farms and at the country stations
are small, and that the receipts will
continue light until the new crop
commences to move in earnest.
There were receipts Of the new
crop in the Southwestern markets.

quality.
The trade believes that the re-

link to fit the systems.
One Of the factors entering into the
problem OF modern road construction
Is that of providing for the, aftey OF
the read, that Is building the road In
such a way as to throw every possible
safeguard around its users. In a re-
cent issue Of Good Roads this subject
IL taken up in an editorial way and
every phase of the matter 10 brought
out.
Formerly when the sole traffic to
which country roads were subjected
consisted of comparatively slow NOV
ing, horse drawn vehicles, bicycltsts
and pedestrians little attention had
TO be paid to the problem. 1t suf-
feed then to erect guard rails where
the road ran along the top Of a slope,
to build bridges strong enough to bear
the traffic, erect proper ratings upon
the hedges and TO keep the grades
down to those which could be safely
traversed by horse-drawn vehicles.
Alignment was OF relatively small i'm
portance.
The greatest change In in regard TO
alignment. While sharp curves were
permissible under former conditions
they are sources Of danger ut present.
-rhe driver Of an automobile approach
ing a curve at a speed Of over fifteen
miles an hour 10 in danger himself and
il q source OF danger to others, TOR,
assuming that speed. two automobiles
approaching a sharp curve from oppo-
site directions travel toward each
other at speed OF thirty miles an
hour. on many Of tho curves existing
on old roads throughout the country,
especially In hilly regions. the curva-
ture is sharp enough 10 that less than
100 feet separates the two machines
at the instant when the drivers first
catch sight of each other and while
accidents are being avoided under ex-
actly those conditions every day 1t is
nevertheless q fact that danger al
ways exists. when. az Is often the
case, the combined speeds OF the two
ears are such that they are coming to-
gether at q speed OF moro than nrty
miles an hour the danger is very
greatly Increased. as 1t IL also when
the curve occurs on a hill. Aside
from the peril In which the drivers
Of automobiles are placed there Is the
even greater danger to horse drawn
trafYic ana to a lesser extent to pedes-
trians.
In view Of these facts it is essential
that iu the construction Of roads the
matter of safety be given very careful
consideration and be provided for by
the construction Df guard rails Of sum
cient strength. the erection Of ade-
auats bridges. the use Of curves Of as
long radii a. are practicable and in
