The Czecho-Slovak National Council
has word of the removal from office of

MAuPIN WANTS
LANE TO VIEW
POTASH LAKES
Nebraska Now Produces 80
Per Gent Of Potash Supply
of the United States,
Says Commissioner.

1T is exceedingly gratifying to
learn from Secretary Lane that the
annual production of potash in the
United States will eventually reach
a round 100000 TONS remarked
Will Maupin, director of the bureau
of publicity yesterday. Coming
from such a distinguished source of
information, it certainly is the cor
rect dope.
Secretary Lane informs US that
from certain potash lakes in Cali
fornia, ocean kelp beds, some min
erals and from cement plants and
blast furnaces, and incidentally
some alkali lakes in Nebraska. we
are rapidly approaching the 100000
tons per annum mark.
Information Wrong.
incidentally some alkaG lakes
in Nebraska are good, very good. |
am interested in ascertaining where
Secretary Lane secured his potash
information; not that | want to seek
potash information from the same
source, but in order to avoid it.
Potash production is of great inter
est to agriculturists, and naturally
Secretary Lane ought to be fully
informed. I fear, however, that he
has sought it from the wrong quar-
ter.
100000 Tons in Nebraska.
"If he will take time enough off
from his multifarious duties in
Washington to visit Nebraska, |
would be delighted to show him
something in the way of potash pro-
duction. He would be the distin-
guished guest of Nebraska, and it
would be my greatest pleasure to es-
cort him to the potash fields.
within an hour after we reached
these fields he would be convinced
that we have already arrived at the
100000 tons per annum mark.
ut might interest Secretary Lane
TO know that Nebraska has
already produced more than 100000
tons or potash THIS year, ana several
thousands Of tons more will be pro-
duced between now and January
/, 1919. He might also be interest
ed in knowing that Nebraska is pro-
ducing 80 per cent of the potash
produced in the United States; that
every day Nebraska is producing
more potash than the kelp beds of
California produce in a year, and
that any one of a half-dozen potash
plants in Nebraska daily produce
more potash than is produced
monthly by all the cement plants
and blast furnaces in the country.
Secretary Lane seems to have
been drawing his potash misin-
formation from an inexhaustible
source"
