sec. HOUSTON'S REPORT.
CAL. POTASH INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON Dec. S.--The devel.
opmcnt of a great potash industry on
the Pacific Coast is predicted in the
annual report of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston. submitted 10 Congress
today. The Secretary says that already
large quantities Of potash are being
recovered from the kelp beds which
line the coast from California TO Alas
ka. The story of the development of
this industry is of tremendous interest.
When the European war broke out
the American supply OF potash was
largely cut off inasmuch as nearly all
four imports came from Germany,
which country controlled the best pro
ducing known beds in the world.
Not long after the beginning of the
war, Assistant Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Carl Vrooman learned that II had
been discovered that potash could be
recovered from kelp-lhe heavy mas
ses OF 8eaweeG which float in the surf
Of the Pacific Coast. Scientific expert
ments were conducted and found TO be
successful. BY reducing the kelp II
was discovered that residue of pot
ash was recovered.
- The Department interested Ameri-
can manufacturers in the experiments
and as n result eight large plants were
erected in southern California. Ac-
Cording TO the report of Secretary
Houston, submitted today 125,0OO tons
reduced on September l. 1916. and
yield of 10 per cent of potash was re.
covered. The report says that the
present abnolmally high prices for poi
ash have induced the plants to work
tho most rapid hut not the most eco
nOmical manner. The report says that
under present operating conditions the
industry would not prove profitable
should the war end and potash prices
return 10 normal. lie believes, how.
ever. that bypToduCts can be utilized
and more economical means of manu-.
faCture can be discovered which will
result in the building up OF an import
ant potash industry on the Pacific
Coast
The Department now Is working on
plans to place the industry on a better
footing and n new and very large plant
IS to be erected in southern California
shortly. This plant will have daily
capacity Of 200 tons of raw kelp. II
,hc plans work out as the Department
hopes. the United States can become
permanently Independent OF Germany
for hor potash supply. II Is stated

URGES EXPoRTERs
TO LEARN CHINESE

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-The Dc.
partment Of Commerce here is urging
Americans seeking TO expand their
trade in China TO learn or have their
agents learn the Chinese language. An
announcement of the Department says
that for many years II has been be.
.ieved In this country that knowledge
Of the Chinese language was unneces-
sary tn profitable trade relations. The
Department believes this to be a faI
lacy and says that the best results can
be- obtained from Chinese trading II
the language Of the Chinese people to
whom Americans hope to sell goods is
known to the agent of the selling com
pnny.
The Department points out that the
British Chamber OF Commerce at Hun.
kow has established a class to give In.
struction in the Chinese tongue to
British commercial agents. Unless
Americans arc enterprising enough to
follow the example OF the Engllshmen
they VIII lind much OF their trade VIII
slip away, according to the depart.
ment
Chinese Is declared TO be extremely
difficult for the Occidental TO master
but Uncle Sam says that the difficulty
must be overcome az part of the
great program Of industrial prepared
ness for new era OF worldwide trade

war Reports Of commercial attaches
of the Department, stationed In China.
have reported to Washington that
Americans ignorant OF the Chinese ton.
