Leased Wire Report WAR CUTS OFF POTASH SUPPLY OF FERTILIZERS Wayne County Farmers Face Prospect of Increased Prices and Decreased Amounts of Chemical. Farmers are facing the prospect of buying fertilizers containing only a small amount of potash, this spring, and a probable chance of being unable to obtain any potash next fall. Germany produces all the potash used in this country. Under normal condition the daily requirements of the United States is about 3,000 tons of potash. Since the beginning of the war, the shipments of potash to this country' have been very small and on Feb. 1, a complete embargo was placed pn the product by the German government. . . This condition has brought about an average raise in the cost of fertilizer to the farmer of about $1.00 a ton. Most of the companies are refusing to put out brands containing more than 2 or 3 per cent of the potash and have ceased to offer brands containing greater amounts. A brand containing ten per' cent of phosphorous and ten per cent of potash which sold for $23 last year, is now worth about $29, but cannot be purchased at that price except from dealers that have quantities left over from last year's trade. A district sales manager for one of the largest manufacturers of fertilizers in the United States, who is in Richmond this week, said all of the large fertilizer plants were forced to cut down the amounts of potash In their products. "The farmer that has any sense is going to lay .in his supply of fertilizer ahead of time," he said. "The man who has potash in his barn next fall will have it to use." There has been an unusual demand for potash goods this season, and although manufacturers were giving the farmers the benefits of the amount of potash they had in stock, he said that this condition could not exist very long. This shortage of potash will have Bome effect on the local crop condition. Although the greatest demand in Wayne county and adjoining sections is for phosphorous, and while the state experiments show that best gains are made from the use of this element, It Is also known that a fertilizer containing from 2 to 4 per cent of potash, i will produce the most economical and profitable yields of gain on the typical clay loam soil of Wayne county. INDIANA LAMBS BRING RECORD PRICE $9.60 ON CHICAGO MARKET Boom in Wool Brings Effort to Reinstate Depleted Flocks for Expected High Prices. BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Feb. 25. A consignment of lambs from the Indiana Experiment station at Lafayette sold on the Chicago market yesterday afternoon at $9.60 per cwt., creating a new February record. A year ago $8 took the same goods, but the trade is running into unprecendented scarcity of mutton, and a $12 market is predicted before the Kentucky and Tennessee crop is ready for the butcher. For ten years past the country has been getting out of wool and mutton production, but liquidation of western flocks during that period created an illusion of plentltude. Fear of ruin as the result of free trade was the incentive, but the boom in wool has caused a change of sentiment and efforts are now being made to reinstate depleted flocks. During the period of repletion not only is mutton likely to be placed in the same category as lobster and terrapin, but the kind of wool that goes into ready made clothing is destined to come back. 350 HORSES LISTED FOR LACKEY SALE CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Feb. 25.

GRAIN PRICE WEAK AS MARKET CLOSES BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Feb. 25. The grain markets all closed weak and lower today on continued liquidation by longs. Net losses were shown of 2 to 3c for wheat, 2 to 2c for corn and to lc for oats. The attack made by the bears on the corn market when it was up around the high prices of the day caused general selling of wheat and values suffered along the entire speculative list. New York was reported to have purchased 250,000 bushels of No. 1 northern spring wheat at Duluth at 28 c over the Chicago July price. Hog products were sharply lower, the weakness being led by pork, which was under heavy liquidation. LiVe Stock Sales HORSES Cattle, hogs, Feb. 27. W. V. Myer, Lewi3ville.

SENIOR GIRLS FIX S5 AS COST FOR ALL GRADUATION DRESSES

On the advice of the high school faculty, girJ .members of the graduating class met 3nd voted on the maximum price which may be paid for material for graduating dresses. The price of $5 was settled on for material and girls were advised to make their dresses at home. A vote was taken which resulted in the adoption of roses as a part of the graduating outfits. There was a question as to whether red or white roses should be worn or carried. This will be settled by vote later. Wear Black Shoes. Black shoes and stockings were adopted but this will be brought to a vote again because of objections registered by girls not at the meeting. The meeting was not well attended and as a result there Is general dissatisfaction among the girls. Some of the girls who ordinarily dress in the latest styles for school, said they do not want the maximum placed on the dresses, while mothers declare instead of a maximum price being fixed, some style, middy blouses preferred, should be chosen as two years ago. The vote to carry roses brought out objections from many. Some of the girls said they expected to receive roses before graduating and they would use them on the platform. Others suggested that if a majority wanted roses they should pool their interests and buy together, thus securing a better price and all carry or wear the same kind of flowers. School Board Approves. The action met the approval of C. W. Jordan of the school board, and Principal Pickell: "I do not believe a maximum of S5 for a dress is too high," Mr. Pickell said. "We advised the girls to settle on something simple, avoiding all elaborate trimmings and keeping their dresses as plain as nossible." - , All dresses will be white. It was suggested that twenty or twentv-five cent material, such as flaxon. voile or embroidered material be used. Wearing the dresses full, ten or twelve yards, is expected to be the requirement to dress along the lines now in vogue. This would mean about $2.50 for the poods. In addition the use of ten or twelve vards of lace was deemed necessary by the graduates. Some of them wanted the price of the lace fixed at five to twelve and one-hflf cents t yard in order to prevent the use of fine trimmings. Counting the lace at $140, the SUCCEEDS MILLER.
