WOMEN'S STATE
CONVENTION CALLED
Nevada Civic League to Meet in
Reno on April ~ and 20.

The first statewide convention, or
state council meeting of the Nevada
Women's Civic League, has been
called for April q and %. in Reno.
The Nevada Women's Civic League
was organized by the Nevada Equal
Franchise Society in February. 1915,
after the successful campaign for wo-
man suffrage.
The calls have just been issued by
the state president, Miss Anne Mar
tin, from Washington. d. c., where
she has been spending the winter.
Miss Martin will return to Nevada
shortly to conduct the work of organ
izing the convention. Miss Minnie
Flanagan, president of the Reno Wo-

ments, and Mrs. J. F. George has been
appointed chairman of the hospitality
committee. Mrs. George will be assist
ed by Mrs. H. H. Clark and Mrs. James

Incarceration of Sagebaush
For Potash Contents May
Become Big Industry

Profitable Sagebrtrsh Growing" is
publication in the near future. In
fact. the hitherto insignificant desert
weed already has been made to pro-
duce profits, profits in the form Of
soluble potash. Experiments are be-
ing conducted in Southern Utah and
Nevada at the present time that may
result in the production of potash in
commercial quantities. says the Salt
Lake Tribune.
State Senator NJ. L. Lee, cashier of
the bank at Phoebe, New, is at the
head of a movement to investigate the
possibilities of producing potash from
sagebrush. Experiments are already
being conducted or will soon be start
ed at Panaca, Phoebe, Parrawan, Ced.
ar City, Milford, Delta, Nephi. Juab,
Lovelock and Winnemucca
The most extensive experiment was
started at the dry farm owned by
Senator Lee. sixty miles west of Pho
che. There a tractor will be put to
work tearing up the sagebrush and
stacking it for experimental work; in
dications are that the venture will be
profitable only when handled on an en-
tensive scale, with tractor and rail
to drag up the brush.
Senator Lee has written to ]. H.
Mandersfield. assistant general pas.
senger agent OF the Salt Lake route,
asking for freight rates on the prod.
uct. He said he expected to have 100
cars of the product ready for shipment
from Phoebe in the near future. It is
valued at from $45 to $95 a ton, he
says.
Ashes OF sagebrush, according to
chemical investigations, contain pot
ash soluble in water. The quantity
varies in different localities, but
around Southern Utah and Nevada,
Senator Lee says. there is an average
OF 80 per cent. Furthermore the So
called rabbit brush contains even high.
er percentage of potash than the sage.
brush.
Senator Lee has advertised in the
vicinity of Phoebe that he will buy,
during the next three months, ashes
OF sagebrush in carload lots. The
| ashes will probably contain from Is
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-04-07

to 80 per cent Of soluble potash. The
Phoebe banker has contracted to ship
the ashes to the Virginia Carolina
Chemical company OF Richmond, Va,
where they will be purified so as to
make pure potash. Arrangements
have been made for a chemist in Pho
che to analyze the ashes purchased
and payment will be made according
to the following schedule:
Ash containing 81 per cent water
soluble potash or more, $95 per ton:
ash containing rs per cent or more,
$50 per ton; ash containing 20 to 25
per cent. $62.50 per ton: ash contain
ing Is to 20 per cent, $45 per ton.
Senator Lee has issued the follow
ing instructions concerning the pre-
paration of the sagebrush ashes for
shipment:
1t appears that the leaves and small
er branches contain more potash than
the trunk, therefore care should be
taken to preserve, so far as possible,
the leaves and small branches. The
brush must be we'll burned. If the
ashes are taken from the fire too soon
they contain much carbon or small
particles of charcoal, which contain
potash not soluble.
If the ashes or Goals are permitted
to remain in the fire or near she In
tense heat generated by sagebrush
until they cool gradually, the Goals
and carbon will all go to ashes. How
ever, in burning on a large scale II
may be found advisable to Green the
ashes and reburn the charcoal. The
best results will be obtained by burn
Ing in the open without much draft.
Draft has tendency to carry away
the lighter PARTICLES containing potash.
Remember that the potash Is water
soluble and burning on the damp
ground will lose much of the potash.
My best information is that twenty
tons will constitute a carload.
Analysis of the ash should be made
at the beginning of the burning In
order to determine the average per
cent Of potash you may expect, and
another consisting of sample from
each sack when the ash is ready for
shipment. A certificate of the general
average will then be attached.
