Franklin X. Lane, the bright par
ticular star OF the Wilson war cabi-
met, In his annual report recently
issued emphasized the Importance to
this country as a war as well as
peace time necessity OF an inadequate
available supply of potash and also
demonstrates the marked progress
our American chemists made in sup
plying this deficiency from domestic
sources during the war, and his sug-
gestions are powerful argument in
favor Of the permanent establish
ment Of scientific research stations
in demonstrating the availability of
our abundant domestic supply of
such vital mineral substances.
Scientific demonstration of the diff
Iferent state and national institutions
In recent years has demonstrated the
feasibility OF very economically main
tanning nitrogen in the soil by crop
rotation methods by using an in
tervening legume plant OF the clover
family, which has the faculty of fix
ing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil
and in itself, affording green man
ure which, when plowed under for
that purpose, supplies the necessary
nitrogen for soil fertility at very
nominal cost when intelligently
handled.
Phosphorus, however, which is the
smallest primary supply Of these
three more important factors OF fer
tility in the soil, is materially re
duced by SO to so years of constant
cropping without renewal and must
be physically put back on the soil
. from concentrated sources of supply,
of which our Idaho deposits represent
probably the worlds maximum ex
amples and, as a result, must ult-
mately prove the chief key to the
essential maintenance of profitable
soil fertility and increased crop yield

our own people in the near future

such rapid rate that there will no
