POTASH IN SANDS ON
COAST OF NEW JERSEY
ANNOUNCEMENT BY UNITED
STATES GEOLOGICAL SUR
VEY. LAST, 1000 YEARS.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Enough
potash to supply the needs OF the
United States for nearly thousand
wears, based on pre-war importations,
is contained in the green sands OF
New Jersey, the Geological Survey
announced today. Scarcity OF potash
for fertilizers due to the shutting Oft
of German supplies during the world
war caused the government to make
an extensive investigation Of the green
sand mari belt of New Jersey and its
probable development as a source OF
supply.
Moderate estimates place the guam
tity of potash in that belt at 25o,953,-
900 short tons that could be mined
from open pits. Several companies
have undertaken to produce potash
from New Jersey green sand, and
some have marketed small quantities
though none of the companies, the
survey, reports, is now actually pro-
ducing.
The green sand mari belt extends
across New Jersey from the vicinity
of Sandy Hook southWesterly to the
Delaware river near Salem, distance
of about 100 miles 1t ranges in width
from nearly IA miles in Monmouth
county to one mile or less in parts of
Gloucester county.
For more than 100 years these sands
have been dug and marketed for use
as fertilizer, and in the late sixties
the quantity used amounted to nearly
100000 tons annually. With the in
PRODUCTION of prepared fertilizers the
government mari industry gradually
died, but here and there small guam
titles are still dug and used.
The only monument to Adam is to
be found in Baltimore.
