1t Would Take About Thousand Years
to Starve Uncle Sam.

''All of this stress by the public press
directed toward the future danger of
food shortage" says Farm and Fireside,
SIS at present a false alarm. The city
consumer realizes only the food in sight.
If number of food staples continue in
scant supply for season, he jumps to
the conclusion that the producer has
reached the limit of his producing power
III the land seeded to wheat, beans,
potatoes, and corn last year in this
country and Canada had produced maxi.
mum instead of minimum crops, even
the unusual foreign demand would have
been taxed to find an outlet for these
staple food crops. The farmer has adj
vanced beyond the point where he is
now unwilling to SOW and reap beyond
the needs of the market requirements
merely for the sake of overlooking his
barns and warehouses. Like other manu-
facturers. the farmer now prefers to linn
it his crop average to meet the probable
requirements of consumption in his sell
ing zone.
When there is a staple demand for
two blades where one now grows dou-
BILE production will be forthcoming
whenever there is profit in it for the
producer. 1t is much too soon to get
excited over a transient food shortage
even though combination of circum-
stances has put several food staples in
the class of Injuries"

LACK OF MARKET.
For Potash Obtained BY Old Time Meth
cd of Leaching Wood.

Producers of potash (stone-ash or
crude potash, black salts or black flux,
and pearlash or white flux) obtained by
the ld-time method of teaching wood
ashes are writing to the United States
geological survey, department of the in
terror, complaining of lack OF mar
ket for their product. This seems an
anomalous situation In view of the scar
city OF potash in the United States and
the need for potassium carbonate for
glass and the caustic for soap making,
and in laundry use especially.
Thirty-three producers have reported
to the geological survey over 900 tons of
these materials, valued from seven to
70 cents a pound according to degree of
refinement. This class of materials in
eiudes caustic potash, and mixtures of
caustic potash, potassium carbonate, and
potassium sulphate with organic and va
rious kinds of inorganic matter.
The United States geological survey
will be pleased to act as intermediary
in bringing producers and buyers of these
materials together. A list of such potash
and pearlash producers, particularly men
tioning those who report stock of ma
terial on hand, viii be sent on inquiry.
