States are deploring the shortage
of potash salts, Germany is equal
ly anxious about her supply of
nitrogen-bearing materials. Ger

blockade of German ports, that
country cannot obtain sufficient
quantity of nitrogen, and on that
account she seems to be in great
er fear for the safety of her
crops than are American farm
ers on account of the shortage in
potash. ,
