The article notes rising bean consumption in Europe due to war influence and a growing Yankee habit. It cites beans as a rapid, high-return cash crop adaptable to most regions, best on fertile soil, and dependent on nitrogen-fixing root bacteria. Fertilizers should supply nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash to boost early maturity and resist rust.
War uses up nitrate and sulfuric acid for explosives reducing fertilizer supply. Labor shortages in plants, shipyards, and munition plants threaten spring production. Authorities urge farmers to order now and accept immediate shipment to meet next year’s crop needs.
A United States Department of Agriculture bulletin analyzes cement industry potash recovery. With 90 million barrels of cement yearly, about 50 percent of potash volatilizes. 99 percent recoverable and 95 percent of that is available, yielding roughly 75,000 tons annually. Recovery costs are low once equipment is installed, boosting prices and installations.
The American Red Cross has grown active in Vladivostok aiding over 20,000 Czecho-Slovak refugees and hundreds of wounded fighters. A base hospital for 200 beds plus trains and medical staff from American and Japanese teams operate under Dr Teusler, with expansion planned as relief widens in the Orient.
The mobile hospital unit from base hospital No 20 at the University of Pennsylvania was commended by General Pershing for courage shown under shell fire. Two Red Cross nurses were included in the distinction for bravery and devotion to duty.
