POTASH FAMINE DE-
CLAREO GROUNDLESS,
CAMBRIDGE GEOLOGIST SAYS
THERE IS WORLDS SUPPLY
FOR ASKING AT LOW PRICE.


per ton when there is enough of it
available in the New England States
TO supply the whole world for many
centuries? Who is it that is keep
ing this fact from becoming general
" known and what is the reason!
Our State agricultural colleges well
know of this easily available potash
supply. They are also we'll aware,
or should be, of its extreme cheap
ness and solubility for farming pur-
poses, for many of them made tests
as far back as 1889 and proved with
OUT a question the value OF this
enormous potash supply at our very
door.
The agricultural department at
Washington has made very extensive
tests and found that this sihcate OF
potash is soluble in the soil and as
easily and quickly available for plant
life as the German Potash Salts.
These tests are all scientifically de-
scribed in Bulletin 104, Bureau OF
Plant Industry, Agricultural Depart
ment, Washington, D e, entitled,
THE Use of Feldspathic Rocks as
Fertilizers.
In most of the middle States and
a large number of the Southern
States there is an ineXhaustible sup
ply of potash feldspar that will run
from six to fifteen percent potash.
In the State of Georgia large de-
posits of potash feldspar can be
found in Cherokee, Lumpkin, Rabun
and several other countries. In
North; Carolina, deposits can be
found in Alexander, Buncombe, Hick-
ory, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston,. Hay
wood, Mitchell and many other
counties in unlimited quantities.
Professor Allerton S Cushman,
formerly with the United States
agricultural department, states in
1.-THE bulletin above mentioned that
the potash in these feldsDar rocks,
when ground 200 mesh fine and
). mixed with the soil, becomes soluble
and available for plant life very rap
idly. There is scarcely a county in
: all New England that has not many
large deposits of feldspar rock
which will analyze from six to
twelve and fifteen percent potash.
The cost of quarrying and pulver-
izing on a fairly large scale should
not exceed $500 to s4.00 per ton.
would advise every farmer in
this county to send to the bureau of
rblant industry, agricultural depart
ment, Washington, D C, and secure
q copy of bulletin 1O4 if he has any
desire.to obtain supply of potash
almost for the asking, which is, with
out question, soluble and available
when pulverized as above stated. If
he is unable to obtain this valuable
bulletin. owing to it's being out of
print, l would suggest that he make
a request through the Congressman
from his district that another edition
