CONVERSION OF DESERT

MUCH PUBLIC ALARM
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 The con
version of desert basin into fields of
supply for the fertilizer Industry Is
part of the scheme of agricultural ad
vancement favored by Secretary of
; Agriculture Wilson and heartily' en
dorsed .by President Taift in a mes
sage to congress today. The message
. was a cordial letter of transmittal of
a, preliminary repor ton the fertiliser
resources of the United States. The
Is preliminary report on the fertiliser
ers Involves an annual expenditure of
110.000,008 Which is llxely to Ibe
greatly Increased as more modern ag
ricultural methods are adopted. The
i report stated that there had been
.some publto alarm not only on. ac
count of the large shipments of phos
phate rock to foreign parts, hut also
'on account of the phosphate lands
'passing into the 'hands of foreign own
ers. The report, however, found that
a great majority of these lands were
in American hands and that, the ten
dency was distinctly toward an in
crease in that direction. ... ,v
( Prom American sources an ample
supply of both classes of fertilisers
can readily be obtained and In the
case of potash . the supply may be
. maintained Indefinitely, if ' obvious
metltioda of control are adopted. The
annual production of ammonium sul
phate should be approximately 340,
000 tons, valued at 130.000,009. Ac
tually 33,000, , valued, at- $1,140,000
.are being produced while about 104,
000 tons, valued at about $5,200,000
are annually Imported. '"
Investigations are under way ' for
the extraction of potash from silicate
and other minerals and from wastes
and by-products.

of Kansas a letter giving lntormatton
compiled by the government, wmcn
in the opinion of. Mr. Knox would
Justiry legislation to provldo. a grad
uated means of meeting various dis
criminations by foreign countries
against American commerce. Tha
senator has framed a bill calculated
to meet the situation as it arises.
..."The problem,"- said Secretary
Knox, "Is to provide for the removal,
so far as practicable, of such fea
ture in foreign practice a may be
found adverse to our export traae
development and of serious Import
to those American enterprises - di
rectly affected.
"In the opinion of U department
this problem may be solved through
the- medium of an : amendment to
section i of the act of August S.
1000, ' whereby may be afforded a
anfflolent degree of elasticity in the
Imposition of tariff rates, suited to
the- offenses Intended for correction."
Secretary Knox cited some of the
more important instances to which
the attention of the state depart
ment has - been called : but which
properly may , not be considered as
falling .under the classification of
'undue' discriminations. ', '
" IiMUncea Oted ' " ,
"There hav been developed In re
cent years,' v, h wrote, "numerous
instances of tariff and administrative
discrimination against ' products of
the tfolted States, Many of these
and indeed the most "mpertant as
they then existed, were removed or
were equalised ' by compensation In
tariff rates granted by other eona

lowinf the enactment of tha Utlff

V "Some instances of discrimination
could not e removed ly negotiation

ter when considered in the relation
ship thus Involved ths entire com
merce of the United State with'
the particular offending ' countries
they were permitted to remain. Since
the conclusion of these negotiations
other Instances have developed in
the way of discriminative practices
both with respect to capital Invest

measures in the administration of
foreign countries and in regard to
measures In the administration of
foreign tarlfTs adverse to the com
