CAN AMERICA PRODUCE
HER OWN POTASH?

New light is thrown on this inter
esting question by facts and figures
contained in a recent publication of
the bureau Of soils of the United
States department of agriculture.
Bulletin No. 572 gives careful
analysis of the probable potash sup
ply to be had from the cement indus
try when apparatus for its recovery
has been universally installed.
On the basis of an average prOduc.
ton of 90OO0O00 barrels of cement
the total potash escaping at present
amounts to about $1,000 tons annually
II has been demonstrated commercial
ly that 80 per cent of this potash is
recoverable and experiments show
that 80 per cent of this amount is in
available form or may readily be made
available. On this basis We would
have production of approximately
10000 tons of available potash each
year.
Since only about 30 per cent Of the
potash In the raw material Is ordinar.

FARMING PROBLEMS IN 1919
To the Farmers and the Agricultural
Forces Of the United States:

During the period since we en-
tered the war the farmers OF the
Nation have responded magnificent
ly TO the appeals for increased pro-
duction, and all the people have
complied with the urgent requests
for fuller conservation. During
this present fall season our farmers
have planted an increased wheat
acreage and large acreage in rye.
II is too early now TO make detailed
suggestions for the spring planting
season. We do not know how the
fall grains will come through the
winter and we are not able to fore
cast the demands and the conditions
which will prevail after the first Of
the year.
This Department, the agricultural
colleges and other organizations
will continue TO give definite thot
TO all the problems. and at the prop
er time will lay the situation be-
fore you.
Two things seem to be clear:
One is that for a considerable
period the world will have need
particularly of larger supply than
normal of live stock, and especially
of fats. We should not fail, there
fore, TO adopt every feasible means
of economically increasing our live
stock products. As a part Of our
program we should give due thought
to the securing of an adequate sup
ply Of feed stuffs and TO the eradi-
cation and control of all forms Of
animal disease.
The other is the need of perfect
ing the organization of our agricul- |
tural agencies for the purpose Of
intelligently executing such a pro-
gram as may seem wise. We should
not only have the best possible or
ganization and cooperation of the
Department Of Agriculture, the agri-
cultural colleges, the State depart i
ments Of agriculture and farmers
associations, but we should especial

No opportunity TO kill rats should be

Cats Destroy Mice.

Cats are useful about farm buildings

times they hunt and destroy rats but

OF felines are worthless or actually In

Great caution should always be OBJ
served In the use of poisons. but there
are situations on the farm In which
polsons may be used safely and effec-
lively. In the open fields poisoned
grain may be scattered near rat bur
rows. In the poultry yard poisons
may be exposed for rats inside dark

Seattle Man Not Quite Certain Wheth-

Was No Gutter.

Last summer, when every young
mans thoughts were on the war, a
wealthy lumberman from Seattle ar
rived in New York on a business trip.
His business having been attended to,
he was a guest at a dinner given one
evening by an officer in the United
States marine corps. AS the hours
and the flowing bowl passed, speeches
became more and more frequent, ev-
erybody was wrought up, and there
was no man so base as to say that he
would not go to the front for his coun-
try.
Early the next morning the Seattle
man started back home.
A few days later the officer of ma
rines received this telegram from him

struct me when and where to report.
