POTASH SUPPLY LIMITED.
At the outbreak of the war the
shipping season for potash from
Germany was at its height, but since
then the shipments hat e been made
only in limited quantities. The
prospect, however, is that they will
increase as time goes on. Potash is
not eoutrahrand of war and none of
the nations at tvar objects to its
movement in neutral ships. There
is, howeter, great difficulty in se
curing railway and river equipment
to move it from the mines and
storehouses to the coast.
The mines are ill good condition
and enough workmen not subject
to military service are available to
keep them in operation.
The interruption of traffic has
not made American soils or crops
any less hungry for potash.
-Most of the leading fertilizer
manufacturers have agreed to util
ize their present supplies of potash
in the ellort to supply fertilizers
with at least two or three per cent,
of potash next spring and the sup
plies on hand at the outbreak of the
war were said to he sufficient for
this purpose. There is, therefore,
no reason why farmers should not
secure some potash in their goods,
although the usual five to ten per
cent, might nut be obtained.
