Salt Evaporation a Big Industry.

In the production of that indis-
pensable condiment, salt, the United
States is happily independent of all
other countries. The 1921, i96 bar
rele of salt produced in 1915 by IA
states, Porto Rico, and Hawaii con-
stituted % per cent of the salt con-
sumed in the United States, and much
more coTld easily have been supplied
had the demand required it. according
to the United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior.
Salt occurs naturally in two dis
tinct ways--as rock salt. in beds or
associated with. bedded or sedinGentary
deposits, and in natural brines. The
larger part of our salt is obtained by
converting rock salt that lies deep be-
low the earth's surface into artificial
brines, which are pumped to the sur
face and there evaporated. Some idea
of the quantity of salt evaporated
from natural brines may be gained
from statistics Of the output OF New
York, Michigan, and Kansas alone
three large producing states, for
the calendar year 1915. In Michigan,
6,7o8,261 barrels of eyaporated salt,
having a value of $3,635,5S2. were
produced: in New York, 3,443,4c4 bar
rels, valued at S1,7s9.4sA;; and in Kan
sas, 1,991.75S barrels, valued at
$696060.
