erning the penitentlaries are busted
fiat as a fritter and have not the
money to transport the men to and
from the penal farms. Relative TO
the change from sugar cane to cotton
on State farms. the following state
ment was made: Doubtless many
taxpayers will be startled by the
statement that Texas penitentiaries
have lost In round figures 100000
from operations in the past three
years. When Mr.. colquitt became
Governor the Texas prisons had a
surplus OF sl.000.OOO. This surplus
has been reduced. according TO the
last audit. to $4,000. When Mr.. Col
quit became Governor the prison sys'
tenn had no outstanding debts. II now
has outstanding debts OF approximate.
ly 100000. During the three years
that Mr.. colquitt has been Governor
the Legislature has appropriated for
the support OF the penitentlaries the
huge sum Of s2.21O.S60. This appro-
prlation added TO the surplus. which
has disappeared. plus the outstanding
indebtedness. makes up total In ex.
cess OF 100000 which has been lost
to the taxpayers Of Texas by prison
operations covering less than four
years duration"

was stated that II the war did not

II II lasted longer, however. the effect

Congress for a measure that will pro-
duce one hundred million dollars an

and many wonder why a war tax is
necessary. II is necessary to make
up for the enormous loss in revenues
that come through the custom houses

WHY 1T LOOKS LIKE A LONG WAR

Il does not seem possible that all
these vast armies of Europe are sim
ply going to emulate the antique King
OF France who marched up the hill
and then marched down again. They
are not likely to fight and then quit
leaving National boundaries, National
cultures and National weliares in the
relative positions they occupied be-
fore the fighting began.
If one stops to consider what might
be the result of final victory of one
side or the other, 1t looks like life
and death struggle. II Germany wins,
will II still be true that the sun never
sets on English possessions? VIII
France still count as a European
power" If Germany is defeated,
will German unifcation remain UNI
broken? VIII Prussia retain the
headship OF the German peoples?
VIII the work begun by Frederick the
Great and carried far by William I
and Bismarck endure? viii not Rus
STA and a great Balkan Slav State in
the Southeast make the map OF Eu-
rope and the history of Europe uncer-
tain for generations?
Whichever side has your sym
pathies and engages your sense of
justice, you know that there is the
sternest kind of work ahead. 1t does
not seem possible that that work can
be very quickly done. If the prospect
is not almost miraculously changed,
It is hardly possible that one of the
great Nations involved can quit with
out surrendering its greatness. VIII

THE EUROPEAN WAR
AND THE POTASH SUPPLY

Chemist. Texas Agricultural Expert.
ment Station, A. 4 NJ. college)
In the region around Strassfurt,
Germany, practically the entire
worlds supply OF potash is mined and
concentrated About the only COM
mercial sources Of potash other than
the German supply are tobacco stems
and wood ashes. At this time the
German shipping appears to be com
pletely demoalized In the Atlantic
Ocean especially. and 1t is probable
that the farmers OF the world Will
have TO depend upon such other
sources OF potash as may be made
available, or do without, until the war
Is over.
The Bureau OF Soils OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture and
the United States Geological Survey,
anticipating a time when the German
supply OF potash for fertilizer pur-
poses would be partially or complete
" shut of. have been looking for
available sources OF potash In Amer
lea. The Bureau OF Soils advocates
the recovery Of potash from kelp. a
seaweed which grows In enormous
quantities on the Pacific coast. The
Geological Survey claims TO have dis
covered workable potash deposits In
the United States. In addition to this
there are a number OF commercial
processes. said TO be Of value. for
changing the insoluble potash OF
American sillicate rocks into a solu-
BILE form. All OF these claims will
now be put TO the acid test. for with
the German supply entirely cut on.
we Americans will have to shift for
ourselves for some time to come.
In this situation the Texas farmer
is particularly fortunate. Although
potash is a very necessary constitu-
ent OF fertilizers for some soils and
some crops. investigations OF the
chemistry department Of the Texas
experiment station. In the laboratory.
in the greenhouse and in the field,
have shown that Texas soils as a rule
need potash much less than they need
phosphoric acid and nitrogen. These
Investigations have been conducted
for ten years and soils OF nearly ev-
cry type in the State have been
studied. Most fertilizers sold In Tex
as for general crops contain more pot
ash than the needs OF the soil justify.
Heavy applications OF fertilizer are
required for truck crops and potash
will. OF course. be needed for these
but for ordinary crops like corn. cot
ton and wheat. the Texas farmer will
probably lose nothing by applying no
potash until the European war has
ended.
The supply Of potash in the soil can
be conserved very readily. While
potash is taken up by plants In large
quantities. most Of II goes to the
leaves and stems. Unless the entire
crop is removed. the loss Of potash
from the soil would be small. Even
the unwise practice Of burning the
stubble will not destroy the potash.
The price OF commercial potash
fertilizer is sure to jump enormously
the coming season. For fertilizine
general farm crops. the farmers Of
this State will find II Improbable tc
buy them at any advance whatever
II would be we'll for them to confine
their purchases OF commercial fer
tilizer to those containing phosphoriC
acid and nitrogen for some time, even
after the war is over
