for fertilizer.
Investigations by Government sci
have led to the conclusion that potash
salts can be produced from the kelp

The cost OF production OF potash
from this source, on a commercial
scale, however, has yet to be de-
termined.
Price Soaring.
Since the outbreak OF the war and
the embargo placed by Germany on
the export Of potash, the price OF this
agricultural necessity has risen from
$40 a ton to $500, prohibitive figure
for farming.
The proposition now liz for Congress
to appropriate $4,000 for the pur-
pose OF authorizing the Secretary of
Agriculture to establish and operate
n plant FOR the manufacture from
kelp or potash salts to such an eN-
tent as will make possible the ascsr-
tainment of the cost of its produc-
ton in commercial quantities, and OF
the availability of kelp as a source
