Li Senator Smith Wins Fight for Farm ers. Washington, Aug. 7.—Senator Smith of South Carolina, who appeared last week with Senator Frelinhuysen of New Jersey and a delegation of farm ers before the war trade board to urge the lifting of the embargo against im ports of potash from enemy countries, was informed by the board today that from this date such imports might be freely made from every source except Hungary and such parts of Russia as remain under Bolshevik control. Retention of the embargo until Oc tober was demanded by producers of trona potash and other American pot ash interests, their expectation being that by that date congress would have provided a protective tariff and that their own production would be equal to domestic demands. Farmers op posed this policy on the ground that prices of potash were ruinous and that some of the American potash had wrought damage to crops. William Banks of the South Carolina depart ment of agriculture-exhibited photo- graphs taken in the Pee Dee region of his state, showing many Instances of such damage. Heretofore potash could be imported only under certificate of non-enemy origin. The board has also by the order Issued today raised the embargo on sugar and on wheat and wheat flour, the control of the latter two items being passed to the wheat director.
