Sleigh- loads from the countrv also helped swell ti 2 matter of fact, we are not aware of a pound of cement being made for some months, and as to the output at potash. we have never heard of more than enough to showits existence in the material used. There seems an error somewhere, but who is at fault? Is it The Globe, or is it The Globe’s informants. As :1 “Mr. Calder informed The Globe that his plant contains eight kilns. which are now turning out 2,000 bar- rels of cement per day. On that basis the daily output of the potash by- product amountsto 15 tons. In ad- dition to this, by means or trapping dust and gases, in which a 5 per cent. proportion of potash has been found to exist. some 40 tons of valuable fer- tilizer is being produced every day. With a few minor additions to the equipment of the Durham plant. and completion of the new installations, the present production of potash willl be easily increased to twenty tons per‘ day." The William Calder referred to is spoken of as “William Calder. Pres- ident of the National Portland Cement ('o., of Durham." hence there can in little doubt as to the identity of the man referred to. The following par- agraph will put Durham in the lime- light once more: 3.50 a ton. and that German interests then controlled the world‘s output of that product. Later on, it is stated. that “the present war prices for ordin- ary commercial potash, ,. ranging from $250 to $600 per ton, according to grade, are bound to decline. But for sometime after the war, it is ex- pected that the pmash market will hold steady at $100 per ton. We learn, too, from the same article that potash before the war could eas- ily be bought on this side of the At- lantic at prices ranging from $36 to ica.” We hope this is true, and that dreams in Tuesday's Globe may soon materialize into a reality. experimenting with feldspar in the cement plant at Durham, in solving the Potash problem, not only for this country, but for the whole of Ame."- “Cement Plant Producing 15 Tons; of Potash Daily" was the glaring, headline, of which we have been un-i able to find confirmation.
