Hot0 California Met
the Call For Potash
BY Garrett 2. SerNiss.

There is a very interesting story
in the utilization OF the beds OF giant
kelp on the California coast for the
production Of potash to make US
forever Independent of the potash
deposits of Germany the possession
of which was one of her advantages
over other nations when she started
the war.
The kelp is now being system
aticaly reaped on the Pacific coast
with aquatic harvesting machines,
which are barges carrying cutting
apparatus, similar in mechanical
principle TO grain-reapers, but op-
Grating at a depth Of from two to
four feet beneath the surface of the
water.
During the past year, the journal
Of the California fish and game com
mission reports, nearly 100000 tons
OF kelp were cut and treated for the
extraction OF potash, the amount Of
the latter obtained averaging one
and a half percent per ton, which
makes 5000 tons. In addition, con-
siderable quantities of iodine. nitro
gen, and other byproducts are OBJ
tanned. Ii is new industry and
various methods are being invented
and applied in its development.

Mr.. Edward Porteous, who has
devoted three years 10 this study,
says that after a harvester has cut
bed clean to the depth OF four or
five feet the old kelp may be seen
standing in an upright position with
its growing ends cut off. looking not
unlike a poplar tree. This gradual
" disintegrates downward, but be-
fore IL has entirely disappeared from
view il is hidden by the fresh shoots
coming up from the bottom. 1t takes
from 10 to $50 days for the kelp
TO grow from the "holdfas" to the
surface. The best growing periods
are from July to September. and
from January to April.
The ability of the cells of this
plant to absorb dissolved potash
from the sea water is a remarkable
example of selective action, exer-
cised as for a special purpose. Thus
Mr.. Porteous points out that while
the water surrounding the kelp con-
tains in solution three percent OF
chloride Of sodium, i. g, common
salt, and only four One-hundredths
OF one percent of potash yet inside
the cell these proportions are so
altered by admitting potash and re-
jecting sodium that the percentage
OF the former has increased 70 one
and eight one-hundredths. while that
OF the latter has decreased 10 only
x-tenths OF one percent
A similar selection is shown in
favor OF iodine, for although the sea
water contains so little Of that sub
stance in solution that there IS only
one part OF iodine in 10000. 900
parts of water. yet the kelp cells
manage TO absorb three one-hun-
dredths OF one percent OF their
weight Of iodine.

The war forced 1t and in so doing
has bestowed an unattended bene-
fit upon the world at large, besides
adding another TO Americas indie
pendent resources. Several years be-
fore the war the department of ag-
riculture had awakened 10 the value
OF California kelp as a source Of
potash, but il was not until the
war-mad German kaiser bottled up
his country's merchant fleets, and
cut the ground from beneath the
home industries which were as fav-
Oring winds blowing those fleets in
to all the worlds parts, that Moth
er Necessity called loudly for potash
and the golden state responded by
unlocking another Of her hidden
treasures.
The species of kelp that most
abounds on the California coast is
the Macrocystis pyrifera, Or rib

hundred feet OF more in length,
stretching up from the rocky lodges
or scattered rocks of the shallow
waters off shore, and spreading into

At the mercy of air currents and be-
