phate of potash, kainit and manure 

 salts are the classes of potash usually 

 designated as fertilizers, their value 

 as soil food being dependent upon their 

 content of 1\20. The muriate usually 

 yields about 50 per cent, of K20; the 

 sulphate, 48 per cent.; kainit, 12li; per 

 cent.; and manure salts, 20 per cent. 

 On this basis the year's supply of im- 

 ported K20 was 17t),354 tons, as against 

 228,757 tons in 1913 and 226,722 tons 

 in 1912. Of guano the imports in- 

 creased from 19,100 tons in 1913 to 

 25,600 tons in 1914; and those of am- 

 monia sulphate, from 58,300 tons to 

 74.100 Ions. 



The aggregate value of potash salts 

 and fertilizer materials imported into 

 the United States in the calendar year 

 1914 was 381/2 million dollars, as com- 

 pared with 47 million dollars in the 

 preceding year. Nitrate of soda de- 

 creased in value of imports from 2IV2 

 million to 15% million dollars, and
