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.
