The Nebraska senator said that
the Senate-House conference would
make several adjustments to recon.
cile the divergent versions OF the
bill, approved in one form by the
Senate ten days ago, and in a diff
ferent form by the House on Satur-
day night. The changes Burke pre-
dicted would:
Eliminate the controversial
House provision for a 60-day post
ponement Of the draft to permit a
further trial OF voluntary enlist
ments to raise the initial contin-
gent Of 100000 men wanted by the
army.
Approve the House provision
calling for registration of an esti-
mated 100000 men between 81
and A years inclusive. instead of
accepting the narrower Senate
bracket affecting the 10000, 900 men
between 81 and 80 years.
Approve the House provision for
the Communicating by rental or
lease OF defense industries with
which agreements cannot be
reached on army and navy orders.

Chairman May and four other

egation expected to be appointed

Senator Burke said that the pro-
posed 60-day delay to try voluntary
enlistments inserted by the House
Saturday by the close vote of POI

1T is uncalled for because every
body knows we can't get the men

IN
POTASH SHOULD
NOT Be FEARED

WASHINGTON D. Cit has
been officially announced that there
is no danger of a shortage of pot
ash fertilizers during the coming
season. This comes as welcome and
rassuring news to thousands OF farm
ers, agricultural officials, and ferti-
izer men. Ever since the war broke
out in Europe, they had been asking,
"Will there be enough potash ferti-
lizer this year,"
The critical scarcity of potash and
skyrocketing of it's price during the
World War are still fresh in many
minds. Prior thereto potash had to
be imported from European coun-
tries. For a period during the World
War it was almost impossible to get
any potash for fertilizer. Yields and
quality of crops suffered from lack
of this important plant food, and it
became impossible to farm some soils
that were especially deficient in pot
ash.
Today, the situation is very differ
ent, there now being several sources
OF American production. Even before
the World War, some work had been
done to locate potash in this country.
Deposits were found in several west
ern States, those at Searles Lake, Cali
fornia, being particularly important,
and efforts to develop these were re-
doubled when the material became so
scarce. After the war, the search
continued, leading to the establish
ment on a permanent basis of the in
dustry in California and the develop
ment of a potash industry in New
Mexico.
In recent years the production of
the California company and two COM
panies in New Mexico has supplied a
large share of American potash re-
quirements. These companies are
working their plants at full capacity
and their production added to import
ed stocks assures farmers of all the
potash they need during the coming
year. These plants are capable of
