American Potash.
The production of potash in the
United States is rapidly increasing,
according to figures given out by the
United States Geological Survey. The
production of 1917, it is stated, will
probably be in excess of 25,000 tons,
or two and a half times that of 1910:
But this is only 10 per cent. of the
average normal yearly consumption
of the country, Before the war potash
could be bought for $40 a ton, but
since its importation from Germany
ceased it has risen to $450 a ton,
