greensands, which are found In Salem
Camden and Burlington counties, con-
tain more than 250,0o0.000 tons OF pot
ash that could be mined by open-pit
methods. Used at the rate at which
potash was formerly imported into
this country, that quantity would sup
ply the needs of the United States for
nearly 1000 years. -Four companies
