Who is it that is keeping this fact from becoming general- ' ly known and what is the reason? 5 I Our State agricultural colleges well know of this easily available potash ! supply. They are also well aware, ( or should be, of its extreme cheap- 5 ness and solubility for farming purposes, for many of them made tests 1 as far back as 1889 and proved with- ( out a question the value of this enormous potash supply at our very 1 door. The agricultural department at ' f Washington has made very extensive 1 V tests and found that this silicate of potash is soluble in the soil and as easily and quickly available for plant 1 life as the German Potash Salts. 1 These tests are all scientifically deCm Dnllafin 1ft4 RllrPflll f?f BCriUCU I LA UUll^UU *v^, ( Plant Industry, Agricultural Departmenty Washington, D C, entitled, "The Use of Feldspathic Rocks as Fertilizers." In most of the middle States and a large number of the Southern , t States there is an inexhaustible supply of potash feldspar that will run from six to fifteen percent potash. In the State of Georgia large deposits of potash feldspar can be found in Cherokee, Lumpkin, Rabun j and several other countries. In North Carolina, deposits can be found in Alexander, Buncombe, Hick-; ( ory, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston,. Hay-; wood, Mitchell and many other i counties in unlimited quantities. ' Professor Allerton S Cushman, formerly) with the "United States agricultural department, states in Gthe bulletin above mentioned that j the potash in these feldspar rocks, i -when ground 200 mesh fine and . ^mixed with the soil, becomes soluble 1 and available for plant life very rap- . ' idly. There is scarcely a county in all New England that has not many large deposits of feldspar rock which will analyze from six to twelve and fifteen percent potash, j. The cost of quarrying and pulverizing on a fairly large scale should k not exceed $3.00 to $4.00 per ton. J I would advise every farmer in | 8 this county to send to the bureau of ^flant industry, agricultural depart- J ment, Washington, D C, and secure . P a copy of bulletin 104 if he has any desire-to obtain a supply of potash almost for the asking,which is, without question, soluble and available 4 when pulverized as above stated. If j he is unable to obtain this valuable bulletin, owing to its being out of ?T onnrrrAof tkof KA motn priiit) 1 VYUU1U OU55^9Vi V'Unv xiv uiuuv a request through the Congressman from his district that another edition printed immediately by the GovI ernment for distribution.
