SON OF DANISH PEER DIES
Kenosha Mans Death Reveals His
Right to Royal Title.

KENOSHA. WIS. A son Of 6
Danish peer, a man who one time car
ried with his name the title to vast
but ruined estates, in both Denmark
and Norway, died in a humble cottage
in Kenosha and it was not until after
his death that the facts in regard to
his early life were made public.
The man was Carl Christian julius
Won Ahlefeldt Lauvigen, former Danish
peer whose ancestral estate was Torn
holm, KorsOr, Sjalland. He was eighty
one years old and had carefully con
Ce&led his life.
Here he was known as Julius Able
fe,dt a kindly deposed old man. His
one son Carl Ahlefeldt, an engineer
had given him home since he came
here from Denmark some years ago
He was buried from the Hansen chapel
Saturday, but he wore on the breast
the ribbon Of his rank.

MORE POTASH COMING.

American crops and soils are still as
hungry for Potash as before the out
break Of the European war, which cur
tailed the potash shipments.
Some of the Fertilizer Companies are
trying to induce farmers to buy the
one-sided low Potash or no Potash fer
tilizers of a generation ago. This
means fertilizer that is profitable to
the manufacturer, but not the best for
the farmer. When the Syndicate in
1910 started the direct sales of Potash
to dealers and farmers at reasonable
prices, Potash sales increased 65 per
cent in one year, clear proof that the
farmers know that Potash pays. They
know that Potash gives good yields,
good quality and resistance to plant
diseases.
Many of the Fertilizer Manufacture
ers are willing to meet the farmers
wishes and sell him what he thinks he
needs These manufacturers are now
willing to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer goods
with 5 per cent and even in some cases
10 per cent Potash, if the farmers in
sist on it.
Shipping conditions are improving,
more Potash is coming forward al
though the costs of production and
transportation are higher. The higher
price of fertilizers is not due wholly to
the slightly higher cost of Potash;
Much of the Potash that will be used
in next springs fertilizer had reached
America before the war started.
There is no substitute for Potash.
We can no more return to the fertll-
izer of twenty years ago than we can
return to the inefficient farm nipple
ments or Improbable livestock of that
period.
