Most of the fcr-' HR tilizer companies have endeavored to H make the Potash on hand go as far as ^B possible by selling for the present Wm brands of complete fertilizers conuB| *?U!iing only 2 or 3 per cent of Potand withholding from sale brands ^B containing larger amounts. The suggestion that some or all of the Potash be replaced by phosphoric ^B acid is absurd, for every school boy ^^R knows tbat one plant food cannot take the place of another. There are some ^direct fertilizers, such as lime, gyp^B sum and salt that can release a^limit^B cd amount of Potash from some soils ^B that contain hydrated silicates of Al^B iimnia and Potash. But if these soils BH have already been treated with lime ^^B or have received repeated dressings ^B of the usual forms of fertilizer con^3 Gaining soluble phosphate with its acIcompanying gypsum, then the Potash in the hydrated silicates has to a large extent already been replaced and the I use of more lime or gypsum or salt could not be expected to release much additional Potash. Ground limestone or oyster shells act too slowly to be ^sed as Potash releasers. The residue of soda left in the soil HOW'S THIS?

I c / # / : . ? )y nitrate of soda is more effective in j cleasing Potash than is gypsum and lence goods, in which the nitrogen is argely in the form of nitrate of soda, nay have a special value in the present emergency. It is often stated that decaying organic matter releases Potash from the soil but there seems to be no direct cveidence of this. On the contrary, Dr. S. Peacock states in the American Fertilizer of Sept. 5, 1914. "Several thoroughly competent researches have shown that decaying organic matter has little effect on converting mineral plant food in the soil into available form." In any soil the amount of Potash capable of being released bv these indirect means is a ver\ small fraction of the total Potash in the soil, most of which exists in a form about as soluble as window glass. There is no known nrofitable method for render ing this inert Potash of the soil available fast enough to provide for profitable crops. Whatever temporary expedients we may employ in the present emergency, we must keep in mind that the Potash thus removed from the semi-available soil reserves must later be replaced if we are to maintain the soil's productiveness. There is danger in the statement that farmers have been using an excess of Potash. Crops use on the average about one-half times as much Potash as phosphoric acid, while the average fertilizer sold contains only one-hp.lf as much Potash as phosphoric acid; yet no one claims that we are using too much phosphoric acid. The Potash remaining from previous fertilization is practically nothing except in the limited areas where a ton or more of fertilizer has been used per acre on truck crops. Very rarely is half as much Potash applied to the wheat, oats, corn or cotton crop as the crop removes. The Potash mines are so numerous and the stocks on hand so large that supplies can be promptly sent forward as soon as European conditions permit freeight shipments to be resumed. H. A. HUSTON.

TO BELGIAN COMMISSION ANI) GERMAN PROTEST. * M MUSI BE NEUTRAL Iioth Sides Would Draw All That They Could From This Great Country,?Wilson Treats All Out of The Same Spoon. The commission appointed by the Belgians to make a report before President Wilson of the awful atrocities committed upon the Belgian people by the Germans, also the protest sent to this country by the German government protesting against the use of "Dum-dum" bullets by the French soldiers, all received the same treatment last week at the hands of President Wilson. President Wilson notified the world that the United States at this time cannot pass judgment on or take any part in controversies between the war ring European nations over alleged violations of rules of civilized warfare and humanity. He said questions of this kind would have to wait until the end of the war, which he prayed might be soon. The President announced the American government's position first in an address to the commission sent by the King of Belgium to protest against alleged atrocities committed by the German army. Later he sent a cablegram along similar lines to the Emperor of Germany, replying to the Emperor's protest that the allies were using dum-dum bullets. The Belgium commission was received at the White House with form al ceremony. The President, accompanied by his military aide and several high rank government officials, greeted the visitors in the East room and listened with grave attention to their address, setting forth in detail | charges that German soldiers invading their land killed and tortured wo-1 men, men and children; destroyed art treasures and destroyed cities.
