his call for the special session of the

quests the governor to ask the leg

W. E. Sharp Of Lincoln Re-
views Growth of the
Enterprise.

Washington, July 2o.-(Special
dispatch.)-W. E. Sharp of Lincoln,
one of the largest producers of
potash IN Nebraska, and that means
in the country, was accorded hear
ing Monday morning by the Ways
and Means committee. Mr.. Sharp
reviewed the growth of the potash
industry in the state and told how
he became interested in the manu-
facture of potassium salts. His
practical knowledge of the subject
greatly interested the committee,
especially when he told the men,
bers what the Nebraska producers
were facing if not given relief.
incidentally, Mr.. Sharp said that
two years licensing of the for
eign product would enable the do
mestic producers to get on their
feet and in that time be in a posi-
ton to compete with the output of
foreign mines. He emphatically
stated in answer to a question that
the packers were not interested
whatsoever in the Nebraska field.
whatever interest they might have
in other parts of the country.
Judge Kinkaid, who was instru-
mental in having Mr. Sharp &C
corded hearing, said he had hopes
that bill licensing both dye stuff
and potash would be reported from
the Ways and Means committee
previous to the recess, on Satur-
day next.
