views on this subject to the chill

In her death the soldier Of the
Civil, Spanish American and late
war has lost a true and worthy
friend. Among Company II boys
who went to the front in ~ and
whom she frequently addressed at

She lived in world that was
lofty; her thoughts were of the

sounded 1907 at time when she
wanted to do greater good to those
whose lives had not been so rosy
as had been her life.
CharmingIy simple in her ways,
her countenance beautifully ex-
pressed a deep interest in all
things. To her all the world was
good. No sadness entered her
heart, and scarcely anything was
so sinister to her that she could
not see a silver lining somewhere.
Her love OF home, of family
and home surroundings were char

the colorinS OF the field flower
was as charming as the sweet
scented rose.
Alter her farewell and qoodbyes
to family were said, with a smile
she repeated q portion of the
beautiful Thanatopsis by Bryant
She reverted into an unconscious
condition and passed away as

complaints regarding injury to crops.
apparently resulting from the use Of
potash from Searle's Lake. California.
the natural brine Of this lake from
which the potash salts are prepared
contains a considerable amount Of
borax apparently. One, at least. Of
the companies operating in the local
ity did not exercise sufficient care
in the preparation Of the potash and
let out a considerable amount Of
potash salts in 1918, with a rich per-
centage Of borax, averaging probably
10 percent, and in some samples going
as high as % percent The depart
ment has been conducting careful in
vestigations Of the matter in the field
and these Investigations indicate the
substantial correctness OF many Of
the complaints.
In some Of the special fertilizer
tests Of the department, where Searle
Lake potash was used, injury. which
apparently was the direct result Of
the high percentage OF borax was
clearly shown, while potash from
sine other sources showed beneficial
effects upon the crops tested.
