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.

The American troops crossed the

entered in the direction of the City

Food.supplies, ammunition and artillery

Paris.?In discussing the position
of the former German Emperor, The
Temps says:
"The government of Holland ha.always
the power to expel an undesirable
guest. Lot it use this power.'
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.
"If William is placed aboard :
boat or conducted to the Bolgiai
frontier, the Allies will know wha
they ought to do with hi n. If he i
conducted to the German frontie:
the Berlin government will have a
opportunity to show the depth of it
republican convictions by the ardor i
displays in punishing the authors o
the war."

DEAD TO ~
BE BROUGHT HOME
War Department Plans to Remove
Bodies From France
in 1920.
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. It will not be
considered except with regard to
plans for ultimate disposition of the
bodies until the living 'soldiers, ma

Approximately 20,000 American

weeks before the entire toll of killed,

in the months of allied occupation of
Germany and perhaps Austrian territory

WHERE WHEAT SUR;
PLUS WILL COME FROt^
Under normal conditions the per
capita consumption of wheat in the
United States is about 5.8 bushels
for food. 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
