PHOSPHATE IN KENTUCKY
Report by Federal and Kentucky Geo
logical Surveys.

In view of the intensive cultivation OF
crops last summer and of probable sim
liar intensive cultivation in future sum
mers throughout the war, and the conse-
qucnt greater need of fertilizer, the an
nouncement of a practically undeyeloped
but available deposit of phosphate is just
one more bayonet thrust into the kaiser S
armor
A detailed report on the little known
phosphate field in the blue grass region
of central Kentucky 10 now ready for
distribution. The principal Kentucky
phosphate field is near Midway, Wood
ford county, but phosphate rock is found
also in Lexington, Fayette county, and
in Scott, Franklin, Jessamine, and Clark
counties. The deposits near Midway and
Lexington are the most valuable.
Samples of phosphate rock were OBJ
tanned from more than a hundred drill
holes, sunk in the most promising places
in the field, and were analysed in the
laboratory of the United States geologi
cal survey, department of the interior,
and the analyses indicate that there is
considerable high grade phosphate rock
in this part of Kentucky. as well as a
great deal of low and intermediate grade
rock which will have to be washed before
it can be marketed. There is abundant
flowing water in the region, and this fact
and the ample railroad facilities make
the Kentucky field worthy of attention.
The report points out the advantages
Of the Kentucky field with reference to
freight rates and markets in the north
and west particularly in connection with
shipments of raw rock phosphate, which
is rather generally used in the states
north of Ohio river.
The Kentucky phosphate is in practi !
ally virgin field. The local conditions |
IN the Tennessee and Kentucky phos |
,hate fields are similar, and the deposits |
n Kentucky must be worked in about |
he same way as those in Tennessee. For |
his reason the report gives brief de-
icription of the methods followed in Ten
lessee in mining phosphate rock and
it for market.
The report gives detailed descriptions
md analyses of the phosphate rock, maps
md sections, as well as general eonelu
ions with reference to the outlook for
he field.
The report, which is entitled "The Cen
raj Kentucky Phosphate Field, was pre-
jared by w. c. Phalen jointly for the
kentucky geological survey and the
United States geological survey, depart
nent of the interior. Copies of the re-
ort are available for free distribution
nd may be had by addressing the state
eologist of Kentucky, Frankfort, Ky, or
he director of the United States geologi
al survey, Washington, d. C.
