lesser amount of potash, and there is
possibility of still further reduc-
ton of the potash element in the fer
tilizers containing this important con-
stituent of plant food.
Our leading agricultural scientists
advise the use of lime as means
through which the insoluble potash in
the soil can be made soluble and
available as plant food. Almost all
soils contain potash and most all
have enough for present plant re-
quirements while some contain an
excess beyond these requirements. If
this valuable store Of potash can be
liberated and made available by the
application of lime, the average far
mer can readily make up the balance
of potash needed to insure a good
growth of the better paying crops,
which are the grains. The lime should
be applied to the soil evenly, with a
lime spreader if possible, and let the
harrow follow shortly after. If the
soil should be sour, and good many
are more or less from the overuse of
vegetable and animal matter, the
lime will, in addition, neutralize the
acidity resulting in a more healthy
growth of the plant.

German Potash Embargo

With the complete embargo which
Germany has put against exports of
potash, the rising hopes of American
consumers have been blasted and has
sent prices up to former prohibitive
!evels of from three to four times
normal quotations. 1t looked while
back as if America was going to get
fair stock of potash but now the
foreign potash embargo is complete
The United States consumes $500
tons of potash salts per day. Up to
January LIST, the shortage in this
country, due to the war, was over
$4,000 tons, and it is estimated that
by May LIST, the shortage will have
increased to about 725,000 tons. The
potash embargo will work severe
hardship on our fertilizer companies
who have to move on a arranged
plan of manufacture. A number of
companies announced months ago,
shortly after the war started, that
their Spring fertilizers would contain
on the average of so per cent. of nor
NAL potash content. Now, this sud-
den embargo on potash has made
these so per cent. potash fertilizers
appear very attractive.
Reasons for Germany's imposition
of the potash embargo may be based
on several conditions. One theory is,
that Germany probably does not care
to furnish an important plant food
to raise grain crops in the United
States to feed her enemies. This
shows, from a German standpoint,
one of the most reliable from an agri-
cultural point of view, what valu-
able plant food potash is.
From reports received from fertili-
ger dealers, potash fertilizers have
been advanced in price ten per cent.

NEW YORK, February 5.-Five Yep

.'My Investigations lead me to believe
that recent air raids on British cities were
in the nature Of tryouts for the large Yep

bombs and projectiles in an apparently
promiscuous manner was not done with
the idea OF taking lives or Of producing
damaging results: am convinced that
it was a preliminary move to a more
serious raid, when heavier projectiles will
be used.
Announcement by Germany of an i'm

ports also bears out the belief that air.
