PLENTY OF CHEAP POTASH. 



A misapprehension evidently exists 

 regarding the danger of a shortage of 

 potash for the American farmer. This 

 has arisen through a misunderstand- 

 ing of the purpose of the new Ger- 

 man potash law. This law does not 

 aim to restrict the production of pot- 

 ash, but on the contrary expressly 

 seeks to increase it. The commission 

 that fixes the prohable yearly demand 

 of the world must provide each year 

 for an increase over the consumption 

 of the previous year. The mines have 

 spent millions of dollars in trying to 

 increase sales, and this policy will 

 continue. 



The commission is required to an- 

 nually estimate the domestic (Ger- 

 man) requirement and the amount 

 needed for export. Because it happens 

 that the present German requirement 

 is equal to the export needs, some 

 have understood that the law forbids 

 an export quantity greater than the 

 German consumption. This is by no 

 means true. The Germans are only 

 too glad to have the foreign demand 

 increase. 



The law in this respect is flexible; 

 thus, if the commission should find 

 that the German and export amounts 

 for 1910 were practically equal, they 



would fix the same proportion for 

 1911, increasing each in the same 

 amount. However, should it appear at 

 any time, say in February or March 

 1911, that the foreign orders were 

 likely to be in excess of the amount 

 estimated, the commission has the 

 power to at once make the foreign al- 

 lowance greater than the domestic, 

 and would undoubtedly do so. 



This is quite in line with the pur- 

 pose of the mines in organizing their 

 own company in America, the object 

 of this American company (German 

 Kali Works) being to sell as much 

 potash as possible to everyone, farmer 

 or dealer, at reasonable prices and to 

 aid all willing manufacturers and 

 dealers in their efforts to supply the 

 farmers' potash requirements. To this 

 end they carry extensive stocks of 

 potash, especially in South Atlantic 

 ports, and take orders for direct im- 

 portation in single carload lots. Any 

 farmer can import direct through 

 South Atlantic ports a car of kainit 

 and have it put on board the cars, 

 bagged, tagged, and all taxes paid, for 

 nine dollars per ton cash. Prices to 

 jobbers and mixers are lower by the 

 usual margin flx,ed by the manufac- 

 turers in the past. 



AN UP-TO-DATE CHICAGO RANGE. 



The term up-to-date as applied to 

 many of the more or less modern 

 greenhouses about Chicago, unques- 

 tionably is often a misnomer. In the 

 new block of houses at the Morton 

 Grove establishment of Poehlmann 

 Bros., thirteen of which are now being 

 enclosed for early planting, there are 

 features that cannot be found in any 

 other plant in the west. The thirteen 

 houses ai-e built 27 x 250 ft., and when 

 the succeeding sections of the same 

 size shall be completed will make a 

 block of twenty-six, each 27 x 1400 ft, 

 a pretty good-sized plant of itself. 



The section now neariug completion 

 is fitted with Garland gutters and 

 Poehlmann Bros', own plan of truss 

 construction. Gutters are sufficiently 

 high to allow a free circulation of air 

 and an unobstructed view. All will be 

 fitted with sectional cement benches, 

 so practically all the wood used is 

 the sashbars. 



A special feature of this new range 

 is its boiler room and service shed 

 with its wonderful f-acilities for hand- 

 ling the coal for the twelve large self- 

 feeding boilers, A track is laid out- 

 fide the shed for ordinary cars, but 

 most of the coal will be run over a 

 track through the shed and over the 

 coal bins into which the cars will 

 dump their contents, entirely elimin- 

 ating all labor of handling. 



A large machine shop with power 

 machines is a very busy part of the 

 establishment. Here are finished all 

 the angle iron and truss construction 

 used in the erection of the houses. 

 Huge vats for manure water are 

 housed in a service shed just east of 

 the power house which also contains 

 the work done for the manufacture of 

 cement benches which are turned out 

 to the building contractor all ready for 

 erection. Cement benches of various 

 kinds have been carefully tested by 

 this company for the past four seasons 

 and that they are using them exclus- 

 ively In the erection of their new 

 houses proves that the test has been 

 satisfactory.
