THE POTASH SITUATION.

There is practically no potash in
this country at the present time for
fertilizer use. The small quantities
which were held over from former
years are now priced at from eight
to twelve times their former value.
The investigations of the department
and the geological survey have shown
the possibility Of producing from
American sources an ample supply Of
potash salts for domestic cOnsump-
ton. These sources are: The giant
kelp of the Pacific coast from Lower
California to Alaska; the alunite de-
posits, mainly in the mountains Of
Utah; the feldspathic rocks Of the
eastern part of the United States (:
and the mud of Searles Lake, in CAL
'ifornia.
Feldspar and Searles Lake: The
production of potash from feldspar
Is commercially feasible If a salable
product can he secured at the same
time. The sugge stion has been made
by the bureau OF soils that cement isl
n possible product from the feldsnar
treated TO render the potash soluble.
But the difficulty Of marketing this
cement in competition with thorough
ly standardized products would be a
great deterring factor.
The development Of Searles Lake
as a source OF potash presents num-
her Of unsolved technical problems.
In addition, the question Of title to !
the property is so involved that con-
siderable time viii elapse before 1t
can be settled, In the meantime,
nothing can be done.
Alunite: Alunite a mineral which
exists In considerable quantities in
Utah and neighboriug states. con-

It is decomposed by roasting at a

TWAS EVER THUS.

Consider the editor. He wcarcth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
among the mansions Of the rich. His
wife hath her limousine and his first
born sporteth a speedy space-catcr
To! All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money.
A child is born unto the wife Of a
merchant in the bazaar. The physi-
clan getteth ten gold plunks. The cd
itor writeth 4 stick and a half and
telleth the multitude that the child
tippeth the beam at nine pounds
Yet, he lieth even as a centurian.
And the proud father giveth him a
chrome.
Behold, the young woman groweth
up and graduateth. And the editor
putteth into his paper a small no
tice. Yes, a peach Of a notice. He
telleth Of the wisdom Of the young
woman and Of her exceeding comeli-
ness. Like unto the rose Of Sharon
is she, and her gown Is played up to
beat the band and the dressmaker
getteth two score and four iron men.
And the editor getteth a note Of
thanks from the s. G. G. The daugh-
ter goeth on journey and the editor
throweth himself on the story of the
farewell party. 1t runneth a column
solid. And the fair one remembereth
him from afar with a picture postcard
that costeth six for jitney.
Behold, she cometh out and the
youth of the city fail down and wor-
ship. She pickett one, and 10! she
getteth a lemon. But the editor call
eth him one Of our most promising
young men, and getteth away with
1t. And they send unto him a bid to
the wedding feast, and behold. the
bids are fashioned by Muntgumory
Hawbuck in a far city. Flowery and
long is the wedding notice which the
editor printeth. The minister getteth
ten bones. The groom standeth the
editor Off for a twelve.months' sub
scription.
All flesh is grass and in time is
gathered into the silo. The minister
glitch his bit. The editor prlnteth
death notice, two columns Of obitua-
AIRY, three lodge notices, cubit of
poetry and a card Of thanks. He for.
getteth to read proof on the head,
and the fool thing comes out, "Gone
to Her Roasting Place"
And all that are akin to the deceas ed
on the editor with exceeding
great jumps. And they pulleth out
their ads and cancelleth their sub
scriptions, and they swingeth the
hommer even unto the third and
fourth generations.
Canst thou beat it?-Exchange.

COLD PIGS Eaten SLOWLY.

1t is false economy to leave the pigs
ont in the cold and wet. A. p. Spen.
GER district agent for the University
OF Florida Extension Division. would
have the pigs sheltered because they
cannot fatten as rapidly when they
are exposed to all kinds of weather
as when they are protected. The pig
uses the same materials for keeping
himself warm that he does for putting
on fat. If he is left out in the weather
he will require great quantities Of
food to supply heat to his body. This
food IS diverted from the fat stores
and he does not fatten.
Food Is pretty expensive fuel. vet
many farmers are burning It prodigal-
ly to keep their hogs warm. A few
planks which are rotting on the farm
could be profitably diverted into n
hog house A hog house is cheaper
than feed.

LEVERS MEASURE
PASSED IN HOUSE
Calls For Additional Cotton
Statistics.
ROUNDS OUT CENSUS
Committee Reports That Bill Will
Complete Data Needed for Proper
Application of Principles.

Washington, March 29-The Lever
bill authorizing the census director
to collect and publish monthly sta
tistics of cotton seed and cotton seed
products was passed by the house
late to-day after an all day debate
and now goes to the senate.
Chairman Helm of the census com
mittee gave notice that he would
call up next week the Hefiin bin di-
recting the bureau to collect and
publish statictics of cotton consumed
in the manufacture of explosives
during 1915; quarterly thereafter.
In reporting the Lever bill, Repre-
sentative Aswell, of Louisiana, said
it was drafted after conference
with the census director and that
it would afford an opportunity of
making free application of the law
of supply and demand.
THE census bureau now provides
for collection of statistics from all
the oil mills regarding the quantity
of cotton seed crushed and linters
obtained" he said. "This bill, how
ever, provides for amplification of
these statistics and makes manda-
tory the publishing of them at sta
ted periods. The additional expense
will be probably about $4,000 with
less annually after the first year"
The census committee report on
the bill said:
This bill rounds out and com
pletes the statistics being collected
by the bureau of the census concern
ing the cotton crop. 1t provides for
the collection of data of the cotton
plant which Age of commercial value
There has, been great deal Of
speculation and manipulation Of the
prices of cotton feed and it's pro-
ducts. The prices have been increas-
ed and decreased without regard to
the actual production or to the guam
titles OF seed and oil on hand. This
law will enable the director of the
census to give the proper informa
tion concerning the quantities of cot
ton seed purchased by the oil mills
and the stocks on hand and it will
furnish the oil man with information
Of this character and also with sta
tistics concerning the quantities of
crude and refined oil, meal and cake
on hand, the quantities Of oil pur-
chased by the refineries and the
stocks on hand at given dates.
"This information will lend great
er stability to prices and enable all
people engaged in the industry to
obtain accurate statistics that will
show at a glance the actual condi-
tions Of the market"

80 KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
More Than 30 Are Injured When
Three Fast Trains Clash.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.-Thir-
ty persons were killed and more than
40 injured early to-day when three
fast passenger trains on the New
York Central lines collided near Am
herst, 81 miles west of Cleveland.
Dense fog ohscured the signal set
by the first section of an eastbound
Pittsburg- Baltimore Buffalo limited
and a second section of that train
crashed into it. A moment later the
fast goth Century Limited, west
bound on another track, crashed in
to the wreckage
Daylight had not appeared when
the three trains piled Hp. Farmers and
villagers rushed to the assistance OF
the stricken passengers. The work
Of rescuing those pinioned under the
wreckage was hampered by darkness.
Ambulances, automobiles and al
kinds of vehicles were rushed from
Elyria and other points to the scene
of the wreck. The little morgue at
Amherst soon was filled with bod
les. Most OF the injured were con-
veyed to Elyria.
The goth Century proceeded on its
way to Chicago. None of the pas
sengers on this train were injured.
