Potash in the Muds OF Columbus
Marsh, New.

In searching for domestic
source of potash in the United
States, the Geological Survey has
explored more or less thoroughly
a number of the desert basins IN
the west. Among the regions IN
vestigated is the mud fiat known
as Columbus Marsh, which lies
midway between Reno and Tono'
pah, New, and has an area OF a
bout 35 square miles. Nine shall
low wells have been sunk in this
marsh and the borings and waters
have been examined for potash.
Though commercial quantities OF
potash were not found and no Sa-
line beds were encountered, the
data obtained in the exploration,
like much of the survey work,
have a scientific value. A more
extensive chemical study has been
made of the muds from one Of the
wells by w. B. Hicks, and the re-
suits are given in a recent Survey
publication - Composition ct
muds from Columbus Marsh
New, issued as professional Pa.
per 95-A. This report shows that
the muds contain a high percent
age of potassium, only small part
of which, however, is solua0Ie II
water. The results of the cheml
cal study indicate further that
large part of the potassium in the
muds has been absorbed from so
luton and is held in a loosely
combined form. This condition
may account for the apparent lis

1t was in the nature of a scien-

of Mr.. Coles. While sport and ex-
citement were matters of secon-

Specimens of this fish have been
sought for the museums of {

time a female was wanted, but

YIELD OF JAPANESE CANE
AS Affected by the Use OF Dltfer-
ent Fertilizers


JaDancse cane were begun III the
spring of 1909. Observation and
notes have been kept on the ex-
pertinent each year since. Hence
we have the results from SIX crops
from which to draw conclusions
Eight plots of japanese cane were
used in this work. On an average
for six years, the yields from the
various plots varied from 7.55
tons to 1877 tons of green material
per acre.
Incomplete fertilizers were used
on plots |, II and Ill. Plot | was
given an application OF liz
pounds of dried blood and "a
pounds of muriate Of potash per
acre each year. On an average OF
six years, this plot gave yleld
of 1895 tons of green material
.per acre. Plot IL was fertlllzed
with 81 pounds of muriate Of pot
ash and 224 pounds Of acid phos-
phate per acre each year. On an
average of six years, Plot ii gave
a Weld of 9.65 tons Of green ma
terial per acre. Plot Ill was CIV
en- an application Of 112 pounds
of dried blood and 224 pounds OF
acid phosphate per acre. On an
average of SIX years, Plot Ill pro-
duced a yield of only 7.55 tons OF
green material per acre.
| These results would indicate
that potash and ammonia are the
important fertilizing elements
needed in producing satisfactory
Weld of cane. One important
point to consider is that Plot II
which received no ammonia gave
better yield than did Plot Ill
which received dried blood ano
acid phosphate.
Plots w and vi were given com
plete fertilizers as follows: sui
| phate of ammonia, u pounds; pot
| ash, 81 pounds; and acid phos
| phate, 224 pounds, per acre. Th'
only difference in these two plot
was that muriate Of potash wa
applied to Plot ", and Sulphat
of potash was applied to Plot VI
For an average of six years, Plo
w produced 11.S7 tons, and Pic
| vi produced 1884 tons per acr
of green material. This shows
difference of only OCT of ton j,
favor of sulphate Of potash.

given the same fertilizer exceI
that sulphate of potash was appl
| ed instead of muriate. On an a
erage of six years Plot V gave
yield of 1921 tons of green mi
terial per acre, and Plot VII gay
a yield of 11.99 tons of green mi
