America has learned many things as result of the European war. Where once it imported material it now produces. This is notably so in the case Of potash. one of the most important chemicals known to science Last year this country produced 10000 tons of potash. The value of this crop was $3,5O0,O00, showing the importance of it all. In 1915, the year previous, there had been but 1000 tons of potash produced in this country. When the end of this year has rolled around the production of potash will probably have jumped to a new high record. Americans who previous to the war had relied upon European countries for all sorts of material have now learned they can secure as good if not better products in their own land. The gates are gradually being lowered against out sidcrs.
