Many Valuable By-Products Are Turned Out. WAKE UP, AMERICANS! By F. W. Mureny, President Minnesota State Agricultural Socicty. B. A. KOLBE EXPERMENTS ARE SUCCESS Plant Established by Government in California Demonstrates Profit Can Be Made With Produc- tion on Commercial Basis. Washington.—Kelp, apparently, is going tq be a profitable source of pot- ash, an ‘important fertilizer ingredient that the United States formerly ob- tatned almost wholly from Germany. During the war an experimental kelp- potash plant was established by the United States department of agricul- ture at Summerland, Cal. Before the second year of operation was com- pleted it had been determined not only that the plant could be made self-sus- taining on the basis of potash alone, at $2.50 a unit, but that a number of - valuable by-products could be profit- ably obtained. The chief of the bu- reau of soils, which bureau operates the enterprise, estimates that if the plant turns out $300 worth of potas- sfum chloride a day, it may at the same time turn out $269 worth a day of the four principal by-products. Many By-Products. Among the by-products whose com- mercial obtalnability has been estab- lished are fodine, common salt, am- >monia, and bleaching carbon. This bleaching carbon, formerly imported from Europe and sold for 20 cents a pound, has been prepared and sold from the Summerland plant at 15 cents a pound and appears at present about able to pay the production cost. of itself and the potash, with good rea- son to believe that it may ultimately be made to pay the operating cost of the entire enterprise. It has been definitely established by large-scale operations that very little of the nitro- gen of kelp is lost in the various proc- esses and that it can be commercially recovered as ammonia, thus yielding another important fertilizer element. In this process enough combustible gas is released greatly to reduce if not to eliminate fuel consumption in the plant. A tar is likewise recovered, and its subproducts, kelp olls and creo- sote, have been shown to be of value, respectively, as flotation agents and disinfectants. Still other valuable by- products are likely to be recovered. “The field broadens tremendously as progress is made,” reports the chief of the bureau of soils. JOBLESS DRAIN GERMANY Vast Sum of Money Already Paid Out to Unemployed—More Asked. Berlin.—The German government at the end of December had spent in 1919 1,000,000.000 marks for support of the unemployed, according to the figures of the labor ministry. (The mark I8 worth 2.11 cents at present exchange rates.) Another 1.000.000.000 marks wiil have been paid out before the arrival of the time specified for this support to cease, it is estimated. It is planned, because of the huge amount expended in this way, to try to induce the unemployed to work on emergency labor. Undersecretary of State Moellendorf has demanded a fund of 5.000.000.000 marks to tackle the unemployment question. The representative from Baden has announced that idle textile workers there are leaving for the Rubr distriet to become caal miners, Submarine “Valley” Found Off Mendogino * fan Francisco.—The approxi- i mate location and shape of an uncharted ° submarine valley, which caused the wreck of the steamer Bear with the loss of five lives in 1916, has been re- ported hy Captain Lukins of the surveying vessel Wenonah of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The axis of the valley Is giv- en as about ten miles to the north and west of Cape Mendo- cino, Cal, and its head about five miles off shore. ‘The unknown presence of this formation is blamed for the wreck of the steamer Bear, whose captain was deceived by soundings taken in its vicinity during a storm. Two Birthdays on One Voyage. San Francisco, Cal.—W. C. Sam- mons, purser aboard the steamer Archer, now in port from the Orient, celebrated his fiftieth birthday twice on the voyage from the far East. Sam- mons’ birthday fell on the day that the Archer approached the three hundred and sixtieth longitude. He was the recipient of many congratulations from passengers and crew. Then the steam- er crossed the longitudinal line and the same day was repeated, giving Sammons another birthday. The Archer, operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship company, carried a $6,000,- 000 cargo, including $3,000,000 in silk ad $1.070,000 00 tea, The rifle shots which resulted in the death of the soldier boys at Centralia, Washington, have echoed and re-echoed around the globe. They have aroused to action true patriots everywhare. What an indictment to our civilization and citizen- ship that it should require such.a horrible tragedy to arouse the people of America to the appreciation of the grave dangers which confront us! In all the long annals of time none have more nobly died or are more entitled to be classed as martyrs in the cause of humanity than the four young men who gave their lives. that ‘heir countrymen might be aroused to the necessity for prompt and vigorous action against the enemies of the nation. And how fervently should we hope that the people are now fully alert and appreciative of the dangers about us! ‘Who were the men who have shocked the country by this horrible crime? tainly not their personal enemies. To what brood of vipers do they belong? The slain boys were cer- Why did they commit the act? Every citizen of Minnesota should search for the true answer to these questions. Surely these men were not incited to murder by the loyal citizéns of the coun- try. On the contrary they were blind followers of vicious leaders who from the soap box or through the infamous press have been sowing seeds of hate, dissention and discord. Who is the most depraved villain, the one who shoots from ambush or the man who incites others to acts of violence? Any man who disseminates hate and prejudice and arrays class against class is as dangerous an enemy as the one who is prevailed upon by him to commit a crime against the public. And inasmuch as there are many paid agitators runnjng at large in this state preaching the gospel of unrest and dis- seminating that poison which results in a lack of harmony, discontent and prejudice, would it not be well for our citizens to assert themselves and straightway kick these Snakes out of the grass? The people of Minnesota can solve their problems by working in harmony. Let us arouse’ ourselves for mutual protection—for the preservation of our homes, our property, our gov- ernment. spoken word or through the vicious Every citizen should appreciate the fact that any man who by the press incites prejudice and hate, and arrays class against class in bitter strife, is a public enemy. SWISS TO HOLD UNIQUE FAIR Display of Watch, Jewel and KMdred Industries at Geneva In the Year 1920, The “Federation Horlogere Suis- se” (Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry) is welcoming the organi- zation in 1920 at Geneva of a fair of the watch and jewel and kindred in- dustries. Mr. Rudhardt, director of industry of Geneva, took the in- itiative in the institution of the fair. He considers that the new conditions made by the war for these indus- tries require a more effective co-or- dination between the workers and the producers; that it must be ex- pected that considerable efforts will be made by foreign competition to take from Swiss manufacturers the unquestioned supremacy which they have hitherto enjoyed in the world market; or at least to diminish its importance. It may safely be said that nothing will be omitted in order to give this fair, the first of its kind in Switzer- land, a strictly business character, while not neglecting the artistical side. The “Palais Electoral” has been chosen for the fair. The par- ticipants will have at their disposi- tion 132 boxes of various sizes. The smallness of entrance fees will allow the participation of firms of modest importance. The sale to individuals will not be authorized.—Journal de Geneve. AIRPLANE BUILT TO LAST. What is the “life” of an airplane? The question is partially answered by the recent publication of the facts concerning a Bristol Fighter, which has been in continuous commission on the fighting front, and in Hol- land, for over two years without the expenditure of a single penny in re- newals or repairs, DON'T BE SCARED OF GRIP. “The surest way to precipitate an evil is to become obsessed in the an- ticipation of it,” says the Medical Press and Circular (London), in deprecating the too oft-repeated warnings against influenza. Which means that there is not likely to be a recurrence of last year’s epidemic unless people get scared into it.
