A gloomy view of prospect* tor
fertilising next year's crops lr pre
sented In a statement Issued today
by Secretary Houton, of the Depart
B feftgfc 4f06<>K?K- Btltahjyw,.
ufe it undertaken by the department
since tbe European war disrupted
the American phosphate Industry
and cut off potash Imports from Ger
many will -help, the statement says,
but they offer slim possibilities that
the American farmer will get a small
part of the fertilizing materials nec
essary for hfe needs. Nitrogenous
fertilisers alone will be available In
the quantities needed.
The secretary takes up first the
potash aupp'y, long since exhausted
In the United States by the German
embargo 6 nshlmpents. Investiga
tion, says his statement, has shown
our siurcs of supply In this coun
ry, bnt none Immediately available.
These are the kelp of the Pacific
coast, aluntte deposits In Utah, fold
spathic rocks In the East and the
mud of Searles Lake, California.
Manufacture from feldspar has
been found to be feasible, but the
cost Is high. Development of Searles
Lake deposlttf^precents' technical dif
ficulties. and title to the property Is
involved. Manufacturers are exper
imenting now, the statement says,
with alunite. Kelp Is offered as the
best material. Thrra large concerns
have fcegnn manufacture from kelp
and government experts will be vent
to the Pacific roast to aid tn the ex
perimental work.
Production will be sfcow for a long
tlm ~ , the secretat-y points -out* "and
demand -lor potash In other Indus
tries is so great that none manufac
tured In the United States will be
available soon tor agricultural pur
pose*. Hi* statement says:
"The prices offered und'r exi&tiiir
conditions hv tt}? pMninfartiirflr* 0."
articles will cause practically "*!>? ft*
tir? output oC these concorus' to toe
diverted from The fertilizer Indus
try. It would require ninety or
rnoro planta. costing approximately
$50,000 and having au operating
^apital of f ?5,000 . each, to produce
the quantity needed for agriculture.
This would involve the assumption
that commercial phases of . the prob.
lem wore satisfactorily solved. The
department is considering all phases
of . the situation."
The crippled state of the phos
phate industry is attributed to the
high price of sulphuric fctid, much
of which is bring used ejw In the
manufacture of war munitions. The
price has Jumped from $5 to $25 a
ton. Demand for the acid is so
heavy that abandoned plants are be
ing lelt ed for Its manufacture. The
Bureau of SoUs, meanwhile, Is ex
p rimontlng with the manufacture of
phosphoric acid as a substitute for
salphur'c.
Nitrat e prices have adv^ced sin so
the war began, but there is an abun
dant ciupply of nltroconous fertilis
ing material, and the department la
endeavoring tto find mrthoda to'
! cheapen the cost of manufacture.
The Hecretary concludes with a warn-'
ting to farmer* to conserve all for-'
tlllslng. materials on the farm. He
urges fcrop rotation, prop?r use of
[-fertilisers ^*nd also use of lime to
' increase productivity- of the soil.
