NEW ENGLAND'S POTASH.

Enough to Supply Agricultural Needs
Of This Country For Centuries.
There is enough available potash in
New England to supply the agricul-
tural needs Of this country for many
centuries, says a writer in the New
York Sun. These many deposits will
average from Z to II per zen potash.
The balance of the rock carrying this
potash is all necessary for plant
growth.
All that Is needed to bring this
potash to the farmer is to mine the
rock and pulverize it finely, not less
than 200 mesh, and the entire contents
Of the rock when mixed with the soil
will become available for plant life
as fast as any form Of vegetation can
consume 1t with the application Of
varying amounts for different crops,
as some crops require more potash
than others.
The agricultural department at
Washington has made experiments
with this rock for the last fifteen
years and has demonstrated the solu-
bility and availability Of the potash
when used as above and has produced
equally as good crops with this form
of potash as they have been able to
produce with the German potash salts
that are supposed to be Immediately
soluble in water.
The writer has made personal ex-
animation of about 100 Of these de-
posits in New England and has also
made many practical and scientific
tests on growing crops In comparison
with the German potash, proving with
out a question that this source Of pot
ash was superior in every way to the
German product.
There have been several scientific
theorists Of late who have claimed
patented processes whereby they could
extract the potash from this rock SO
that it could be supplied to the farmer
or fertilizer manufacturer in a COM
paratively pure state.
For the last seventy-f1ve years, up to
about five years ago, practically all of
the farmers In this country and most
Of the agricultural scientific theorists
knew positively that all the soil need
ed were phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash, but recently we hear Of a great
many other plant food elements that
increase the crop yield and build up
the soil to a healthier and more pro-
ductive condition than was ever
thought possible, and many Of them
are now being used by the practical
agriculturist with marked success.
The Wisconsin Agricultural college
after many experiments has discovered
that sulphate Of iron is a wonderful
soil restorer and crop producer. France
has also discovered that sulphate Of
iron in many cases applied at the rate
Of 400 pounds to the acre increases
production from 40 to 100 per cent.
Magnesia has recently been claimed
by many practical agriculturists to be
a plant food Of great Importance. It is
rapidly becoming a we'll known fact
that all plants must have at least
twelve mineral elements in sufficient
quantity if a maximum crop Is to be
harvested.

The widespread opinion that alfalfa

Of wheat bran. This was worked out
in another way by experiments in the

Congressman Sells, the republican

The county court will meet in quar-.

Monday morning, October IL. The
hour of meeting is ten o'clock.
BY far the most important of all
things that will come before the
court will be the question of the new
residence for the sheriff. At its last
meeting the court authorized the ex-
penditure Of only $4,000 for this pur-
pose by the commission, which is
composed of Judge J. T. Mcknight,
chairman, Allen Holt, G. C. Ross,
John M. Davis and R. H. Guest. Bids
were advertised for by the commits.
sion, but when they were opened, it
was found that the lowest of them
was close to $4,000. The commission
rejected them on the ground that
they were too high and in excess of
the appropriation made by the court.
Bids were again advertised for and
these will be opened on the day that
court meets.
1t is probable that if they do not
come within the amount prescribed,
certain alterations will be made in
the plans to reduce the cost of the
building. At the informal meeting of
the members of the court, which was
held last Monday, it seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that they should
not go beyond the amount first speci-
fed.
It is understood that a member of
the county poorhouse committee will
also have to be elected. However,

The mean temperature for the
month of September was considera-
Nv above the average according to
,bo observations made at Ashwood
w Mrs. ]. w. Fleming, the govern
ment forecaster in this county. The
mean temperature for the past month
was 7S.7 degrees, while the normal
for the past forty years is only 70 de-
gees
september was one of the most
pleasant months Of the year. The
mercury ranged from 43 degrees on
the 9th to 92 degrees on the 21st of
the month. However, these were -
tremes, and for the most part the
temperature ran from 60 to 80 de-
Uees. The coldest portions of the
days we're at night, when the tenn
perature sometimes slipped down to
the point that cover was very accept
able to sleepers.
September was also q very dry
month. The rainfall was much below
the average In some parts Of the
county it was considerable more than
in others, especially at Ashwood was
this the case. The precipitation was
2lO inches there for the thirty days
in the month. This was 1.56 inches
below normal. There was not near
ly enough in any section of the coun-
y to wet the ground thoroughly and
give a real good season, which has
been so long needed. What little rain
did fall came toward the latter part
Of the month. The first three weeks
we're warm and dry and 1t was not
until September 23 and "a that there
was any precipitation at all.
There were only three days upon
which rain fell. There were nine
days in the month in which the sun
shone all day long, IS on which it
was partially obscured by clouds, and
on which there was no evidence of
it in the heavens. The prevailing di-
rection of the wind was southerly.
