INDUSTRY
II FORS.A.
• Discovery of Big Deposil
; of Natural Fertilizer
Opens Field.
1 San Antonio may develop a new in
I dustry.
Fanners of th© South may turn t»
। this locality for huge supplies of fcr
tilizer. not manufactured but dug ou l
of the earth itself.
With the discovery near this citj
»f huge de}K)siti( of greensand or glau-
conite it is believed by J. W. Van
I Meter scientist and imeutor ihu
the San Antonio district in time ma.'
become an exporting eenter for nat-
ural fertilizer rivalling New Jersey
which for a century has been th'
world a chief source of greensand.
DEPOSITS ARE ANCIENT.
It was ten million years ago. ac-
cording to Mr. Van Meter that Na
turn prepared the fertilizer beds which
have just been found between San
Antonio and Kelly Field.
Greensand is more properly desig-
nated as glauconite marl or potash
marl.
The largest and purest ' deptwits
known are in New Jersey. Low grade
croppings of greensand have been
known to exist in the v icinity of San
Antonio along Leon Creek for sev-
eral miles between .Castroville ano
the Quintana road.
Considerable money has been ex
pended in driving tunnels into the hill
sides along Leon Creek near Kelly
Field and some of them have been
worked successfully.
FOUND NEAR SURFACE.
Lately however a large body ol
high grade greensand has been found
near the surface on the right of way
of the I-G. N. near the Leon bridge.
This deposit according to Mr. Van
Meter is practically inexhaustible be-
ing higher in phosphoric acid content
and iron than the New Jersey sand.
Also he points out. its proximity to
the rilaroad would permit the product
to be supplied ranchers and farmers
at small cost.
"From the standpoint of the fertil-
izer manufacturer the potash is not
considered available because of its
slight insolubilty in water. Recent
experiments conducted by the bureau
of plant industry United States De-
partment of Agriculture show that
plants jn their early growing stage*
will assimilate potash from greensand
ns effectively as from the usual solu-
ble commercial potosi um salts” said
Mr. Van Meter.
The following statement appears:
‘lt will be further noted that even 1
where small doses of Marl are used
the yield exceeds the results obtained
with Faits in their most
favorablewronreDtration.”
NO SOLUTION NEEDED.
“Huth in his various exjierimenU
with greensand found that ‘the es
sen till elements in greensand after
being processed become available to
plant life by both contact and absorp-
tion. The vegetable field and flower-
ing plants become more staple ami
seeds will sprout earlier when in con-
tact with same. These experiments
are being continued and also upon
slow growing plants of the evergreen
variety such as Cape Jasmine cedars
etc. In this case the iron in the
greensand is the important element.
The wonderful property of greensand
of softening water provides the plant
with the best liquid food conveyor.”
“When soluble potash salts such as
exist in fertilizers are strewn on the
field they dissolve in the rain which
falls on them and we should suppose
that they would be washed out of the
ground very readily such however is
not the case it is found that instead
that substances in the. soil combine
with the jrotush and hold on to it so
that it is not washed away.

up nothing to soft water but when i
