THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



flsi fertilizer should be looked imto, and the 

 other the urgent necessity for placing all 

 fertilizers cm the frte list, thereby enabling 

 the farmer and fruit grower to cheapen pro- 

 ducUoo. The convention was a s^uocess 

 throughout. 



Niagara District Notes. 



The Bell Fruit Farms Canning Factory 

 at Grimsby has been rented by a new 

 company, known as "Bells, Ltd.," for the 

 purpose of making war munitions. About 

 75 men will be employed there this winter. 



What with men enlisting and going to the 

 cities to engage In munition work at high 

 wages, it looks as though the fruit growers 

 and farmers in this district would ibe up 

 against the labor problem worse than ever 

 during the cominig season. 



A new process of great commercial im- 

 portance for the production of potash has 

 been discovered by Howard F. Chappell, 

 one of the leading chemists of the United 

 States and President of the Mineral Pro- 

 ducts Co. Not only does the neiw process 

 produce potash, but also aluminum, and 

 both In quantities sufficient to make the 

 labor profitable even in competition with 

 tbe German market for the mineral. A 

 mine In Utah, 200 miles south of Salt Lake 

 City, is already in operation, about 25 tons 

 of potash and 50 tons of aluminum being 

 made every day from 100 to 150 tons of 

 ore. Although the process is a new and 

 secret one, the material is an ore that up 

 to now has been considered valueless. IL 

 Is alumite, from which potash alum is made, 

 and which was used for that purpose be- 

 fore the Egyptian civilization. This ore Is 

 made to yield potash instead of alum by a 

 process whose chief feature ,is intense heat.
