Alfalfa also fails or has failed with

Lack of drainage, lack of fertility,
lack of lime or lack of inoculation.

feet.) The thickness of the smaller
beds in the upper layers varies from
O.S to 1.5 metres (2.6 to 40 feet.)
The first workings were begun in
1909; in 1913 there were II in oper-
alton. In a period of only three years
the production rose from 42,420 to
287,O00 metric tons, so that the pro-
duction of potash in Alsace in 1913
was already one-Gfth of the entire
German output. The total capital in
vested in the potash works of AL
SAGE amounted to 34,400,000 marks
(sS,187,200 at normal exchange).
The production of these workings, it
is calculated, would supply the
worlds requirements of potash for
250 years on the basis of the con-
sumption in the last pre-war year.
According to estimates made by DR..
Paul Kessler, the quantity of potash
salts in Alsace amounts to nearly 1,
5OO,000,000 metric tons, from which
several hundred million tons of pure
potash can be extracted Pro-

ments, and that if the United States
is to adopt them, she had better say
at the outset that she does not care
to ratify the treaty.
On the other hand, with a few cN-
ceptions, the majority Of the rcseT-
vations suggested would not un't
Americas obligations or promises,
but wcuid make clear their exact
nature. The president, himself, Dc
clared in one of his recent speeches.
that while he saw no ambiguity IN
the language of the treaty, he had
no objections to Interruptions or
reservations that explained the pro-
visions of the treaty. Mr.. Wilson
thought interpretations unnecessar:,
but the men on Capitol Hill would
feel safer if they could specify exact
ly how America understands cer-
tain clauses to apply. Their idea is
to remove all doubt and prevent mis-
understanding in the future.
There is, for instance, an inclina-
tion to say that America reserves
the right to interpret what the Mon
roe Doctrine means. Also, in case
Of a dispute between the British
empire and any member of the
league, it is the desire of the sem
ators that the self-governing COL
onies of the empire shall be regard
ed as unit. On the wisdom of un-
wisdom of these reservations there
will be some debate.

TO WHAT EXTENT CAN WE
GET POTASH FROM FRANCE ?

There has been much discussion
lately as to the extent to which the
United States can in future get pot
ash from France. An authoritative
statement on this point is the fol-
lowing official report from the United
States Trades Commissioner, Arthur
H. Redfeld, stationed at The Hague,
Netherlands:
With the cessation of Alsace-Lor-
raine to France, Germany loses the
rich potash deposits of Alsace, and
with them the potash monopoly of
the world, according to the "Vos-
sische Zeitung." The potash depos-
it's extends 16 kilometres (9.94
miles, to the north of Mulhouse,
over a surface Of more than $50
square kilometres (69.2 square
miles.) They are unusually rich in
potash salts-much richer in fact
than the beds in the interior of Ger
many. They are, moreover, easier
to exploit. Their thickness ranges
from 81 to 5.4 metres (12.1 OF 17.7

DEFEAT OF FALL
AMENDMENTS NOT
REAL TEST VOTE

Washington, Oct. 5.-Defeal of
the Fall amendments to the peace !
treaty may or may not mean defeat
for those reservations whica are the |
equivalent of changes in the text
of the past itself. The decisive vote
against amending directly the Ian
guage of the treaty or League of
Nations covenant signifies an un-
willingness on the part of the senate
to take the responsibility for a re.
opening of the whole document.
Great Britain has ratified the
treaty without amendment or reser-
vation. France clamorcd for more
proof of the disarmament of Ger
D.any, but finally, Premier Clemen-
ceau won his point-which was that
after the treaty is ratified, negotia-
tons will be undertaken to meet the
viewpoint of the opposition deputies
in the French parliament. Thus far,
no congress or parliamentary boGy
has shown an inclination to take r..
iponsio:lity for a reopening of Tie
peace negotiations.
But with the amendments defeated
large number of Republican sena
tors and one or two Democrats
would like to see reservations made
which would qualify Americas ac-
ceptance. President Wilson has s&i!
that some of the proposed reserva-
tions are nothing more than amend

TRUCKS WILL HAUL COAL
FROM M.H,ES CIEECT TO USERS

FROM .EGS ElEE-Ii ~ SSHi>0
Coal mines can oElI produ*e
when transportation is available. Inc
'rush' for coal cars will come in the
early fall about the time the wheat
crop begins to move. The tasN '1
moving these two commodities IS, III
normal years, enormous. and tins
wear, with car shortage in sight. Eu-
rope crying for food and stiff wheat
prices forcing every bushel into mar
ket there will be jam everywhere.
This extract from warming to
coal consumers sent out recently by
American Mining Congress is being
pointed to by ship-by-truck advo-
Gates as a fulfllment of their pro-
presy that the 1919 situation will be
as in former years-the threat of
national coal famine ready to sail in
from its place in the offing because
of overburdened railway systems.
The situation always would be thus
if the solving of the difficulties were
left to the railroads, according to
these ship by truck advocates who de-
clare, however, that rleief is at hand.
The motor truck, they say, is already
on the way to the rescue of the coal
consumer and will have the present
trying conditions we'll under control
in a few more years.
Present effective hindrances to the
normal movement of fuel will be re-
moved by the motor truck in two
ways, the ship-by-truck experts de-
clare-first, by the use OF the motor
truck in hauling coal direct from the
mine to the consumer; second, by
relieving the railroads Of short hauls
in other fields so that they can give
a greater portion of their facilities
to the long haul coal business.
An industrial consumer is located
generally within the 100-mile radius
of the mine from which he buys. He
can efficiently operate his own fleet
of motor trucks carrying from mine
to factory, cr by letting it be known
that the business is there. he will
find trucking companies hat are
eager to take the job. These COM
panies probably could arrange for
return loads in other products and
thereby cut costs almost in half. With !
the haulage of the industrial custom
ers taken care of by the motor truck,
the railway systems will find a num-
ber of cars released to the business /
of hauling fuel for heating homes
in those sections distant from the
coal fields.
The motor truck is already helping,
the railroads indirectly in the trans
portation of fuel by relieving them
of large volume of short-haul gen.
ieral freight. Those trucks now op-
Grating in the short-haul field are
being joined by others almost as
rapidly as the factories can turn out
motor trucks.
1t is predicted that it will not be
long before each populous section of
the United States that has the bene-
fits of passable highways, will have
it's thousands of motor express and
freight carriers operating from farm
to city and from city to city. The
short haul was always source of
worry to transportation experts. 1t
meant vast number of railway cars
seldom moving but most always on
sidings waiting'to be loaded or un-
loaded,

ual prosperity, but for the spread
of their damnable doctrines, the
country will become a hell
culdron instead of the peaceful
melting pot it has been.
We do not believe there is the least
exaggeration in all this. We believe
that Mr.. Johnson's demand that the
wartime immigration restrictions be
continued and applied vigorously for
many years after the proclamation
of peace, is demand which should be
needed without an instant's hesita-
ton. 1t is a matter that has already
engaged the serious attention of the
Department of State. It should
engage the attention of Congress and
of every loyal American.-Harvey's

WHY MAKE VERIFY THE GOAT?

w. E. Verify one of the persistent
better highways boosters of Mime
sofa was prevailed upon some months
ago to leave his newspaper business
at Wadena to accept the vice presi-
dency of the Minnesota Highway I'm
provement Association. At the time
the Association was organized there
was not a cent in the treasury and
Mr.. Verify extended credit for line
of printing needed at oEce. OF
course it was a crime to take printing
away from the Twin City shops and
send it to the country, although
money could be saved by the process.
1t later developed that Highway
Commissioner Babcock has solicited
a subscription of $500 from the Port
land Cement Company to boost the
proposed system of Babcock hard
surfaced highways.
Mr.. Verify insisted that this sum
should not appear upon the books OF
the association as coming from the
cement company as the opponents OF
the plan would insist that the cement
companies were back of the hard sur
face amendment.
The matter eliminated a couple Of
weeks ago when the association was
incorporated. At the election of
officers Secretary Davis an Mr.. Yer
ity were ousted. "Pat" McGarry,
the president, said in effect that "they
were cleaning house for the good OF
the association" Meantime, so Yer
ity states, McGarry draws $500 per
month for expenses.
1t is to be hoped the ruction in the
association will not impede the pas
sage of the Babceck highway Amend
ment. What tne Herald cannot un-
derstand is the necessity of making a
"goat" of c:.e of the most efficient
and hard working better highways
boosters in the state.-A. M. w.

GUARD THE DOORS.

There will be little disposition to
regard Representative Albert john
son as an alarmist in his earnest
warning as to our immigration perils
once the bars are let down by the
proclamation of peace.
Mr.. Johnson represents the third
district of the State of Washington
in Congress. He is in a position to
know a great deal about undesirable
immigrants. The State of Washing
tons ports have been the gateways
through which some of the worst and
most dangerous foreigners have gain
ed access to the U. S. Seattle was the
favored port of entry and exit of the
Russian Bolshevik propogandists. The
effect of their presence and teachings
was sufficiently demonstrated in the
recent organized attempt to seize the
administrative machinery of the city
and transform it by revolutionary
violence into purely soviet govern
nent, the opening attack to this end
being the familiar general strike in
industries and in public service
plants. :.
1t did not work, as we all have
grateful cause to remember, for the
reason that Seattle happened to have
a mayor who was not a cowardly
politician cringing before labor union
arrogance.
Representative Johnson has had
these object lessons in the perils of
unrestricted immigration very closely
brought home to him by the exper-
fences and serious perils of his own
State. He has had opportunities,
furthermore, to study this problem at
close range, and he has availed him
self of those opportunities. He has
learned that from Japan, from China,
from the Russian ports of the Pacific
there is even now a dammed-up tide
of the worst types of red anarchist
humanity only waiting the relaxation
of present wartime exclusion laws to
pour in upon our Pacific Coast states
and from there spread themselves
and those unspeakable doctrines Of
riot, arson and murder which have
made shambles of their own Russia.
One lift the immigration restrictions
imposed by the war, and the way
will be open to them to pour their
anarchist hordes in upon us by the
thousands.
And what is true of the Asiastic
ports of the Pacific in this respect is
true of the European ports of the
Atlantic. Boleshevists are assembled
and as Mr.. Johnson put it, begging
passports" in London, Paris, The
Hague, Madrid, Rome, Constantine
pie, Stockholm. Christiania, Copen-
hagen, Berne, Belgrade, Prague and

I am in possession of reports
from each of these places and I
say frankly that unless we check
the incoming Of these violent
revolutionists, who themselves
think the United States is the

GIVE LABOR REPRESENTA-
TIoN ON BOARDS-ERADI-
CATE RADICALISM

The conference made up represent
atives of organized labor, capital and
the public now in session at Washing
ton is having trouble in deciding upon
a program that will be of any last
ing benefit to the workingman, capital
and the great consuming public.
The greed of the manufacturer and
the unreasonableness of labor is al
ways expensive for the innocent con-
sumner. The larger manufacturing
concerns have awakened to the fact
that their employees are entitled to
more consideration. The wise manu-
facturer is urging his employees to
become stockholders in the company
and labor has representation upon the
board of directors. Some of the
more advanced manufacturers have
gone so far as to give every depart
ment of the company labor repre-
sentative in it's executive meetings.
The high cost of living is the most
vexatious and expensive problem
now before the American people.
Labor is entitled to higher remun-
Grafton, and are receiving it. In
some instances, however, through the
agitation of frenzied leaders they are
making unreasonable demands, and
forcing the men to strike, and tying
up large industries, when as matter
of fact but comparatively small per
cent of the workmepJ are dissatisfied
with their conditions. 1t naturally
follows that increased wages for la
Dor means increased selling price for
the commodity manufacturer.
The loss to labor during these up
heavals is staggering. For the pur-
pose of illustration the experience OF
the employees of the International
Harvester Company furnish a strik-
ing example. July 18th without
warning 10 per cent Of the employees
walked out and forced the suspension
of activities for a time. The forced
suspension of work will react upon
the farmers next season when they
are figuring on needed machinery to
carry on the operation of the farm.
Roughly speaking this strike in
volved loss of $4,000 individual
working days, or about 100000 hours
Ia loss of working time and produc-
ton that would require 750 men two
years to make up, working full time
throughout the year. To the 10000
or more employees affected this meant
a wage loss of approximately $1,000
600.
In number Of the Harvester plants
the workers council advised the tenn
porary closing of the plants-not be-
cause they were dissatisfied, but be-
cause in their judgment this plan
would save life and property, and
their suggestion was adopted by the
company.
