Many products begun Jn 1916 be
came arMve producers In 1917, and
many former produrers enlarged
their cupflrlty. At the r!fe of 1917
there were 01 potash plant (Includ
ing 45 producnljr ryth from wood
ashes) in operation, and the pro
duction of tho your amounted to
32.573 tons of poinnh (K20) vnl
lied rt $ 1 3.90.S77. About 45 per
rent of the output rim from Ne
braska brines, 18 per rout from
Varies I.nke nnd other bines, 11
per cent from kelp, 9 per cent from

vaohlnvrs and wood ashes.
Xrln ix 1D1S more than .108 firms
produced potash tn the T'niled
States from ten dltlnct .ouro'!i. At
the close of the rar several new
potash plnnts were about ready to

Estimates Indicate that about 30.000
tons of potash are lost annually
from th 25 or more dlatlllerles us

made to bring the production from
this source up to capaeHy, and util

established Industry.
Kelp.- More than ten companies
have erected factories on the Pacific
' coast for producing potash from
kelp, with a combined annual ca
parity estimated at between ' 5.000
and 10.000 tons of K20. The Her
culeB Powder factory Is the largest
plant and has been the largest pro
ducer. The production from kelp
increased from 1.556 tona of K20
In 1916 to 3,572 tons In 1917, and
to 4.637 tons In 1918. It has been
preuiciea mai me available re

permit of & large Increase In pro

Kearly all the kelp potash producers
nave closed their plants In antlcl

couia not operate.
Alnnlte. -The only known alun
nlte deposits In the United- States
of commercial value are located In
the vicinity of Marysville. Utah
jseverai companies are interated In
these properties. The Mineral
products Corporation produced pot
ash from one of the principal claims
duiluK most of 1916, 1917 and 1918.
The Florence Mining and Milling

Coinent Kilns. Several cement
plants have Installed the Ctttrell
electric precipitation system nnd
some have Installed other dust-collecting
apparatus In order to- obtain
potash as a by-product In the manu
facture of cement. Much experi
mental work has been done In con
nection with the problem. Produc
tion has been small but regular for
more than three years.

Silicate Itotks. Many processes

done to demonstrate the commercial
practicability of some of these pro
cesses but so far only a very small
production from this class of raw

ready to beitln the extraction of pot
ash from silicate rocks.
Among the raw materials to be
