/ DR.. Summers states that Mr.. Will
hanson presented the matter con-
servatively. The loss in Darlington
county alone will run up into the hun
dreds of thousands. Other counties
in the State have not reported and
they may not be affected as serious
ly, but in Darlington, through the
activity of j. M. Napier and Mr.. Will
hanson, an effort has been made to
locate all of the fields affected. There
have been individual cases reported
from other counties.
DR.. Summers endorses the state
ment of Mr.. Williamson that "the
evidence of the poisonous and disas-
trous results of the use Of potash is
positive, overwhelming and spectacu-
lar" It can not be alleged that the
widespread destruction of plant life
is due to too much moisture, for by
a process of elimination it was shown
that one part of a field where the
potash had been spread has suffered
greatly while in another part where
German kainit or other forms of pot
ash were used the plant life was
healthy and the amount of moisture
over the entire community was the
same.
81 never witnessed such ruin in the
fields from causes other than the
most destructive hail. storms" said
DR.. Summers. "One farmer had lost
all of his tobacco planting on one
piece of land and he then plowed it
and planted cotton. The cotton ger
minated and grew very we'll until the
roots came in contact with the potash
in the soil and then plants died. This
farmer is trying cowpeas to see If

eradicated from the soil in, the course
of a year. I observed that where

ments in our laboratories and will
