Potash Industry
Attracting Much
Attention in u. S.

Approximately $50, 200, 900 is said
10 have been invested in the potash
industry and plants established In
many parts u the United States
since 1914. But when German pot
ash became available again and at
prices far below the prices for
which the American concerns could
sell their product and live, the Am
erican plants shut down. The only
American potash being turned out
now is the by-products obtained IN
the manufacture Of other materials.
In the Fordney tariff bill potash
is carried IN the free list, but with
an important provisiO. This pro
viso fixes a duty on potash for the
next five years, on a sliding scale.
The first year the duty is two and
one-half cents per pound actual pot
ash imported. The second year the
duty is two cents pound; the third
year, one and one-haf cents; the
fourth year, one cent, and the fifth
year, one-half cent.
The American producers insist
that il they are given this amount
of protection during the coming five
years they will be able TO meet on
even terms thereafter, without duty,
the German and French producers
Of potash. The French now possess
the potash mine Of Alsace, former
lv owned by the Germans.
The belief prevails that the SEN
ate will retain in the measure n
provision similar 10 that in the
House bill giving protection TO the
American potash industry.
The whole problem seems to be
one Of the disposition Of the Am
erican farmers, and whether they
are willing for the next five years
10 pay more for the potash needed
for fertilizer than they would pay
If there were no duty on potash, IN
order that there may be built up
an American source Of supply that
will make this country independent
in the future of the German and
French monopolies.
