What are the gardeners and farmers | going to do witheut potash ?. Prac | tically, all of.it came from Germany and the supply is cut off. = There isa little in the country, but it is hald at prohibitive prices--and inport having ceased. The German Potash Trust which has -in-the past handled the Canadian supply, has closed its doors, and it will probably be some time be fore it resumes activity. War had ulso interfered with - the importation of 'bone, nitrate of soda, sulphite ' of ammonia and' basic slag, causing ra- pid increases in prices. This "1s a serious question that agrioulturalists have to solve or have solved for j the, Something must be done to { froe Canada from this = German gov- ernment-controded trust. It is. all very* well to say, farmers must plow deeper, look more carefully after drain: age; take care in turning "under yeget- able matter. and. give more frequent cultivation. Uareful tillage and the best farming methods are desirable at all times and such wmsthods restors certain necessary constituents to the soil, but they mean time and money, they make plant focd in the soil mors available and to some extent take the place .of eertain elements of the peces- sary fertilizer, nevertheless the ques- tion will not down. While other forms of fertilizers are available, such as nitrogen, in {the form of dried fish atid cyanide and very import phosphate, | Canada must have potash. Former- 'ly in Ontario there were a number {of phosphate: mines, persed in the counties of Leeds and Frontenac, and it is to be hoped that this industry will be revived by present coadi- tions. It must be pointed out how- ever, that no one fertilizer ingradi- ent can be substituted for another {and that most of our spoils need more or less potash to give the best results. From time to time reports of the discovery of potash in Canada have been received, but so far nothing of economic value has 'been found apart from the contents of feldspir, which has not received the atien- tion §t should, and help which is found in the groves along the Paci- fic coast. ' The recently reported discovery along the Hine of the Canadian Nor- A DAs Ratehewan; draws on to the fdet that for & number of years, German inter- ests have kept a close watch om all such prospects and have truced wp every case where potash discoveries have been reported in order that they may be in 4 position to secure such deposits and retain c¢outrol of the world's potash supply. If such am attempt is made in the event of these Saskatchewan discoveries proving valuable, action should be taken to prevent it. It is probably Im the vast deposits of feldspar that the salvation of the tiller of the soil lies. W. H. Smith M.E., recently pointed out that along the Central Ontario rajlway are found large bodies of orthoclase and inio- cline feldspar with high potash con- tents, - Consumers of = potash salts must now turn their attention to the utilization of this feldspar. Once this business is established it will in all probability become permanent. Present conditiong show how very necessary it is that Canada should have an independent source of sup- ply.. Practical methods have been worked out for the handling of feld- spar for recovery of both potash and fertilizing salts, also alumina, a most profitable bi-produet that is rising in price, which should prove an addi- tional incentive to capital to take up the all important question of provid- ing the Canadian market with a steady and reliable supply of potash at a reasonable price.

It interfered with the show. The ushers could not account for the sudden commotion, and the manager investigated. Two young fellows sitting in one of the back seats commenced to smile, and then their little joke was found ont. This was fun for the young men, but the next day they did net think 'it was quite to funny, when Con-§i stable James Bateson handed each i summons to appear In the police court, on # charge of disorderly con- duct. However, they faced the mu- sie, It was their first appearance be- for the magistrate. Several witnessés were called, who told of the sneezing powders being scattered in the show, and gave a most graphic account of how it al- fected those in the audience. . After the evidence for the prosecu- tion was concluded, one of the young men called to the witness box took all the blame on himself for the af- fair, stating that bis companion had nothing todo with it. The magistrate then dismissed the charge against the one and imposed a fine of $3. and costs or twenty days on the other. In imposing the fine on the young man he said: "This was a very silly thing to do an your part. No doubt it caused an- noyance to everyone in the place but as you have never been here before I will let you off with a fine of $3. and costs or twenty days; otherwise the penalty would bave been more seri- ous.
