IN few years many kinds Of farm

Floyd w. f-drsen1 in :he Worlds

been manufactured in large quantities
from "blackstrap" molasses, but now
we find that 1t is possible to obtain
$50 pounds of potash from each ton
Of this low-grade molasses, in addi
tion to the liquid fuel. During the
war the price of potash averaged as
high as $1,000 ton.
Federal chemists have found II
possible to obtain gas by the distilla.

homes, power for their stationary en-.

motorcars. Fifty pounds of straw
will produce 300 cubic feet of gas
an amount sufficient to drive ligh,

this experimental work will be the
perfection of method of reducing
the gas to liquid form SO that 1t may

ISLANDS LEGALLY IN PAWN
Orkney and Shetland Were Pledged

mark In t47t.

The islands of Orkney and Shet
land are legally 'in pawn" says the
Detroit News. They were pledged
to Scotland by the king Of Denmark
on the occasion Of the marriage Of
the Danish Yrincess. Margaret. to
James Ill of Scotland, In 1471. These
island groups were then Norwegian
territory. and had been SO since the
close of the Ninth century.
At the time Of their being pawned
the king Of Denmark was also sover-
eign of Norway and Sweden and
hoped that the marriage of the Dan
ish princess would help to effect an
alliance with Scotland-then q sepa
rate kingdom from England.
To help matters on the Dak9sh king
agreed to fix the princess dowry at
10000 fiorins (about S120,OOO)-1O0OO
fiorins to be paid before the lady
left Denmark, and the islands Of
Orkney to be given in pledge for the
remainder. But at the last moment
the king could only lay his hands on
1000 of the. 10000 flOrins. and was
obliged to pledge the Shetland islands
for the balance
The pledge has never been re-
deemed, and though Denmark has
made several attempts to get back
these Islands all the negotiations have
come to naught.
