TWO ON DRAWING POTASH ] FROM HOME SOURCESi Would Encourage Domestic Development to Supply Fertilizers THIS PLANT FOOD FORMERLY IMPORTANT Many Crops Are Hungry For This Kind of Plant Food. At a conference on the American potash situation, held Oceober 15 in the office of William Wallace Mien, assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture, in charge of fertilizer control, it was stated that the view of the Department of Agriculture is that the Government should do all that is possible to encourage the pro duct ion of potash from the cheapest sources in this country, in order to enables farmers to obtain it at a law rate, because foreign supplies are now unavailable. Some Promising Sources. Some of the domestic sources of potash that may be further devcloj)ed are blast furnaces, from the fumes of which potash-bearing mills, greens nad, certain shales, the brim | of some lakes, mostly in Nebraska, | and the giant see.weed (kelp) of the Pacific Coast. The domestic production of potash for the coming' year is expected to b" CO,000 tons, much more than the previous year, but still only about onefourth of the annual prewar consumption, according to A. \V. Stock ett, of the Bureau of Mines. Many Crops Need Potash. Representatives of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture pointed out that certain crops in the East are showing unmistakable signs of "potash hunger*' ad the general agreement at the meeting was that farmers should be informed of facts bearing on the value of potash for crop production, and that all efforts should be made to supply the farmers' demand. The purpose of the meeting was to promote free discussion among the different interests in connection with the potash situation. o AMERICAN TROOPS irmiur m ncnMAUV Hnnivc in ucns^iMi^s i The American troops crossed the German frontier, entering at points opposite Briey, Audun-le-Roman and between these two places.

The advance, however, is regarded by both men an.l officers as an ordinary march. ? o SAYS HOLLAND SHOULD .

The Temps admits that Holland's receiving the Kaiser could be under stood while it was not known wha' was going on in Germany, when re fusal might mean that he would b< lynched at a frontier post, hut adds: "Nothing can excuse the outrage that the man who caused the deatl of millions should enjoy peaceabl existence in a country which wouh have lost its independence if ho ha< not been defeated.

The manufacture of fertilizer in South Carolina has taken a new turn with the establishment in Georgetown of a plant for the manufacture of dried and acidulted fish sc rap. South Carolina farmers have always been extensive users of commercial fertilizers and it is estimated by the State department of agriculture that they were consuming in 1914, just before the opening of the world war with its resulting decrease in this habit, at least onefourth. measured in money value o{ all the artificial fertilizer then being sold in America. The far larger; amount of this material was of no- j ccssity imported into the State with j the resulting extra cost for transportation and distribution. o fhe Quinine Vhat Does Net Affoct the Herd Ueccur.e of its tonic and laxative effect.

A Washington dispatch to The New York Sun says: All of America's soldier and sailor dead will be returned from the battlefields and ho pital cemeteries of France at the expense of the feiier&i government in 1020. This is concretely the plan of the War and Navy departments, which will act in concert. The custom of bringing home the bodies of American soldiers has been the nation's policy for generations. Even before the United States casualty lists assumed pyesent proportions, and many months before any sort of a measure of the number oi dead could have been taken, Secretaries Baker and Daniels ratified an agreement that th epolicy should not be abandoned in the great war. Every son of America will be brought home to rest forever under the Stars an*' Stripes, and in a national cemetery if it be the wish of surviving members of the bereaved family. It will not be possible to begin the disinterment of the American dead for at least a year.

The casualty lists have not yet disc'ose 1 the full measure of America's contribution in lives to the winning of the war. Moreover, it will be several weeks before the entire toll of killed, died of wounds, accident or disease has been received, and in addition in the months of allied occupation of Germany and perhaps Austrian territory yet to come there will be several thousands of other deaths from accidents or natural causes.

During the past year the - consumption has been 10 to 20 per ^ cent below normal. If reduction of 10 ! per cent below normal is adopted for ? . the consumption of 1918-19, and iiluP ? lowancc be made for seed, a national * surplus of 318,000,000 bushels of ? wheat is the result of the estimated v crop and its domestic requirements. Surplus Concentrated. Not only is the supply of wheat 1 for the coming season much larger ? than it was last season, but it is more concentrated in the large sui> t plus States. As estimated by ther 1 Bureau of Crop Estimates, North Dakota, with 84,000,000 bushels of wheat above the consumption of its R peoples and seed for next year, is the State "with the largest surpl%$ for this consumption year. Next South Dakota, with 72,000,000 bush"4 els; and then follow Kansas, with 70,500,000 bushels; Minnesota wi$Ji 04,000,000 bushels; Indiana, with 20, 000,000 bushels; Nebraska and Missouri, each with 20,000,000 bushels; and Montana, with 19,000,000 bushels. New York is by far the chief deficiency State in wheat production. For the current year dependence must be placed on an external supply ior 44,000,000 bushels, or 84 per cent of the total requirements. Pennsylvania's similar dependence is 24,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent; in Massachustets, 17,000,000 bushels, or 100 per cent; in Texas, 10,000,000 bushels, or 04 per cent; in New Jersey, 1*2,000,000 bushels, or 80 per cent; and in California, once a great wheat-surplus State, 10,000,000 bush els, or 02 per cent of the total requirements. North Central States Ahead. Every one of the States in the | North Central group west of the | Mississippi Iiiver is a wheat surplus State, and the total surplus of the group is .350,000,000 bushels of wheat, or .38,000,000 bushels more than the national surplus. other words, the United States outside of^fr ? the West North Central States doe^^ not produce as much wheat as it requires. For the current consumption year the East North Central States havT; i a wheat surplus of 54,500,000 bushels, and the Rocky Mountain and Pacific States a surplus of 58,000,000 bushels.
