• Washington. J.»n, 3.—A gloomy
view oT prospects for fertiiiging next
year’s crops ix presented in a static
. n»ent is used todey by Secret'aiy
Houston of the department of agri-
\ culture.
, / Relief measures undertaken ipy the
department since the European war
, disrupted the American phosphate in
dustry and rut off potash imports
frpm Germany will help, the state
ment says, but they offer slim pos
sibilities that the American fainter
will get a small part of the ferfilir-
ing materials necessary for his neffl^j.
Nitrogenous fertilizers alone wHi b'e
available in the quantities needed.
- The secretary t^kes up /irst 4he
poi&sK supply, lon'g_£lne» exhausted
in the United States by the German
embargo on shipments. Investiga-
' ’ tion, sajTf'his stateiS^nt. has shown
o four sources of suphtvHn this coun
try, -but none ImmeUdely available.
r These are the kelpljlf the Pacific
coast, alunite depositslh Utah, feldi-
pathic rocks in the East and the mud
v of‘ Searles lake, California.
Manufacture from feldspar has
been found to be feasible, but the
cost ts high. Development of Searles
lake .deposits present technical diffi
culties attdfltle to the property, x
involved. Manufacturers are experi-
menttdg now, v the statement says,
with alunite. Kelp Is offered as the
best material. Three large concerns
' have begun manufacture from kelp
and government exports will be sent
to the Pacific coast to aid in the ex
perimental work.
' Production will be slow for a long
time, the secretary points out. and
- 1 demand for-potash In- other Indus-
J < tries is so great that none manufac
tured In the United States will be
available soon for agricultural pur
poses. Hip statement says:
“The price offered under existing
conditions by the manufacturers of
articles will cause practically the on-
man Drives to Hampton ami

Subscription Price Advanced February 1st *
‘ Beginning February 1st. the subscription price of The *
Press and Standard tyill be fl.50 per year instead of $1.00 *
as at present.' ‘ ’ v *
This ady^nce in price is made necessary by the in- *
creased cost of every thing which goes into the making of *
the paper, thus making it impossible to publish a news- *
pap^r at the price of $1.00 except at a loss, v'" *
The Press and Standard is among the last of the ».
weekly newspapers in the State to advance its price. *
Nearly every newspaper, among them being those which *
have only four pages home print, gets $1.50 per year. The *
Press and Standard is ad home print, full every issue of 4
Jive news and many times consisting of more than eight *
pages, so we feel that subscribers will not mind the small / *
advance which amounts to less than one cent an issue. ,
The opportunity is given, also, for any who might' *
think tfce pri<?e should remain at $1.00 per year to sub- *
scribe for as many years as desired at the rate of $1.00, *
provided the subscription be made and paid for befure *
the first day of February. 1915. We trust that subscribers
