GREAT FERTILIZER DEPOSITS
Former German Islands in Pacific
Will Supply Needs of
Anzacs

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Control of
valuable extensive deposits of phos-
phate rock on Pleasant Island and
Ocean Island, former German prop
erty, now in the hands of the British
is being sought by Austrlia and New
Zealand with view to working the
deposits and using the fertilizing ag-
ent on the soil of the South Pacific
dominions.
The islands are located about mid
way between the Marshall and Solo
mon Islands and are of coral forma-
ton. For ages they have been the
rookeries of sea birds that have de-
posted guano, and this has impreg-
mated the limestone, forming phos-
phate rock about forty feet deep. The
quantity Of phosphates available is es-
.imat ted at 5O0,000.0O0 tons, and as
fertilizer it is said to rival the fam
GUS nitrate of Chile.
