MOLASSES FOR SOLVING THE POTASH PROBLEM. 



A practical try-out for a metliod of obtaiiiino; potasli fertilizer will 

 soon take plice at a New Orleans distillery where molasses is used in 

 large quantities. It is a fact that 106 tons of iiotash are wasted daily 

 by the 25 or more distilleries in tliis country subjectintr molasses to the 

 processes of fermentation. The New^ Orleans company is plannine to 

 install the process of saving potash in distillery waste recenty brought 

 to the attention of the public by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic 

 Commerce. It should be possible to make fertilizer from this otherwise 

 worthless material at a |)rice that will meet lonipetition even after the 

 war is over.
