will see that when corn and cob meal

concerns manufacturing potash in the
west from alunite for instance that al
no doubt putting out a guaranteed prod
uct. You understand, of course, that
some efforts are being made to supply
our deficiency in potash through the
harvesting and treatment of the kelp
which grows along the Pacific coast
Potash is also being produced at GER
tain other western points in a more or
less important scale. That derived from
alunite is probably being offered to tn
trade in the form of sulfate of potash
and is possibly a little purer than the
material sent to us previous to the war
by Germany. Alunite seems to have
been found in very inaccessible places
and hence the cost of getting it out Is
very considerable. The process OF man.
ufacture is also somewhat involved.
Hence, it costs somewhat more to pro-
duce it than was first thought to be
the case. The chances are, therefor
that a ton of sulfate of potash derived
from alunite would probably command
a price of 5000 to $3.50 ton. We imag-
ne this would make it too costly to be
used to advantage for agricultural pur-
poses.
