Fertilizer From before the people OF
Pacific Seaweed. uas ,sss n.y. +ua
years ago that James Wilson then Sec
rotary of the United States Department
of Agriculture. pointed out the great and
growing need for fertilizers for the farms.
He added his regrets that the United
States seemed to be almost entirely de-
pendent upon Germany for its supply of
potash needed for fertilizers and sug-
gested that there ought to be some meth
cd of developing potash supply in this
country.
A presidential message followed this
cry for help from former Secretary VIII
son. and a short time later the De-
partment of Agriculture and the United
States geological survey started on a
countrywide hunt for the sources of the
much needed potash. That they were
successful is attested by the fact that
today there are from fifteen to twenty
big private concerns engaged In getting
this necessary ingredient for fertilizers.
and whether or not the efforts of Ameri-
BILE, there has been for the first time a
slight decrease in the Importation of pot
ash from Germany. instead of the usual

Pacific coast, the seaweed which grows
to enormous size, and which contains a
considerable amount of potash. Today
there are a number of commercial COM
panies that are actually farming the sea
for this valuable weed, harvesting it like
the farmer does his grain. A machine
has been perfected which cuts the sea-

surface OF the water. and care Is taken
not to disturb the roots. One company

So most of the concerns now being in
the process of formation.
That the government scientists believe
that there Is a large future source of
potash in the Pacific coast seaweed is
evident from the continuation of their in
vestigations. One party has just COM
pleted its work of locating and deter
mining the extent and important char
line of Alaska Another party has in
vestigated upon the ground the posi-
bilities of developing combined fish ref
use and kelp or seaweed industry on
Puget sound and in Alaska.

is interested in the fertilizer question

Getting Oil
From Shale.


eral experts of the
Getting Oil United States geological
survey. While the
lawn SAAoAe' survey men are eau
,tious and conservative as to their find,
like all other government scientists. they
have admitted enough to indicate that in
the bituminous shales of Utah and Col
orado there is large reserve sup
ply of oil that will soon become an
important commercial factor to the
nation.
The oil experts not only tramped over
the entire district to get an idea OF the
extent and thickness of the shales, but
they also set up plant right on the
ground to determine the amount of oil
and other dstillation products that

has designed a portable still which was
set up at various places accessible to the
railroad. where an abundant supply of
the best shale could be procured. The
basic principle of the operation was to
heat the shale, thus vaporizing the vola-
tile hydrocarbons and destructively dis
tilling the other forms of organic matter
in the shale.
various tests ranged from ten gallons to
the ton of shale to sixty-one gallons. the
average for all the tests being thirty
gallons. Some of the beds of shale
mined were too thin to be prof1tably ex-
plotted under present commercial condi-
tons and 1t was determined to disregard
the run of oil from all shale less than
three feet thick. The average from the
thicker shale was twenty-five and one
half gallons of oil to the ton of shale. In
regard to this the investigators say:
AS this average will compare favorably
with the yield of the Scotch oil shale. it
seems probable that the shale OF Utah
and Colorado may at the lowest estimate
equal in value that of the well known
shale of Scotland, from which petroleum
has been successfully manufactured for a
long time. However, the full extent of
the distribution OF the shale and the
amount of petroleum in 1t have not been
adequately determined, and much addi-
tional work must be done before these
facts can be fully and satisfactorily
known"
The territory in which this oil shale is
found is described as the Green river for
nation Of the Uinta basin in northwest
ern Colorado and northeastern Utah. The
shale extends westward from Rife, Col,
for a distance of fifty miles. and in Utah
from the east line of the state for dis
lance of seventy-f1ve miles. In the two
states there is a direct east-to-weSt dis
lance between extremities of outcrop of
125 miles.

20 and establish court in another city of
Albania, the Instruction being limited
to the territory comprised between Du-
razzo and Tirana.
Italy at this moment is the theater of
intense interest in the Albanian question.
The Mattino demands the division of AL
bania into two spheres, one Italian. the
other Austrian. This, 1t claims. is the
only solution which may guarantee the
future. The Italia thinks the proposed
naval demonstration insufficient. The
Populo Romano is of the opinion that the
expedient may prove efficacious. The
Messagero blames the conduct of Prince
William and hopes manifestation of the
will of Europe. The Stampa doubts the
action of Servia and Montenegro no less
than that of Austria, which excites the
Malissores and Mirdites against the
Mussulmans and makes a propaganda
against Italy.
The Austro-Italian relations are SUI
preme factors in the Albanian question.
Austria and italy are consumed by the
desire of acquiring Albania, because
neither will admit that any others shall
establish themselves on the east coast
of the Adriatc. This was the dominating
idea in inducing Europe to create a fic-
titious Albania Independent in name, but
under Austro-Italian tutelage. This
object attained. Austria and Italy have
naturally engaged in conflict for the
preponderance in this new state. and out
side of the official action of their diplo-
macy they employ official agents in such
a way as to consolidate their situation to
the detriment of the other This atti-
tude was inevitable and will continue I'M
til the crisis.
Austria relies upon the Malissore
Catholics in the north: Italy counts
upon Albanian Mussulmans in the CEN
ter; Austria holds Essad a traitor:
Italy affects to see in him a victim.

councillors have failed to understand

The situation prior to the last dis
patches, which report the fall of Duraz-

siege proclaimed. Col Thomson. an en-
ergetic Holland officer, was recruiting
gendarmes from the Malissores Catholics
and had been named Governor of Duraz-
