January 3.âThe Secretary of Agriculture today made the following statement regarding the fertilizer situation: American farmers are confronted by a serious situation in reference to fer- tilizer materials. As a result of the embargo placed by the German gov- ernment on the exportation of potash, the supply of this substance has been entirely cut off. Under normal condi- tions sulphuric acid, which is required for making super-phosphates, is sold for $ or $ a ton. The increased demand for it since the breaking out of the European war has caused the price to rise to about $ a ton. It is impossible therefore for farmers to secure super-phosphates at prices which they have been accustomed to pay. The nitrogen supply is not ma- terially less than usual. In 1913. when conditions were nor- mal, about $125,280,000 worth of com- mercial fertilizers was used in the United States. Of this amount, the farmers paid $18,830,000 for nitrogen- ous substances. $56,000,000 for phos- phates, and $20,450,000 for potash salts. Practically all the potash salts were imported from Germany and the Warranted to give GOMBAULT'S CAUSTIC BALSAM A safo, speedy and positive cnre for Chut, BpUnt, Sweeny, Capped Hock, Strained Tendons, Founder, wind Puffs, and all Umeness from Spavin, Ringbone and other bony tumors.
