Following the report of County
Agent George Kirk on his recent in

price to dealers shipping to the New
port News terminal was $2.1S per bu-
shell t. o. b. Maysville and that the
farmers were receiving only So and
$2.O5 per bushel from dealers here.
The farmers were of the opinion that

the situation, make a careful investi-
cation and fix a reasonable price for
the Mason county grain.

Potash Manufacturers Appear Before
House Committee

were begun today by the Ways and
Means Committee on bill to increase
the duty on potash and license import
alton so as to protect the new potash
industry here.
Witnesses stated that Il cost So a
unit to produce potash in this country
while the imported product could be
sold for $3.50 unit.
George Otis Smith, director OF the
geological survey. DR.. A. G.. White of
the Bureau OF Mines and Lewis Emery
CT Bradford, Penn, were among the
witnesses, Mr.. Emery said that he
with other Americans, had invested
more than $50 00O,0 900 in developing the
industry so that the Government might
have potash during the war; and that
the country owed It to them to protect
them against German competition. He
suggested not only licensing system
but also a tariff.
DR. Smith held that protective tar.
I'M would be inadequate TO protect
industry. He recommended n system
