MinlnK Engineers Look to California for Product, While Texas Also May Provide Supply. - NEW YORK, Feb. 16. The prospect of a great scarcity of potash in the United States because of the embargo recently placed on its exportation by Germany, the source of virtually the entire American supply, was the prin cipal subject of discussion, here today at the 110th annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining En gineers. . . Charles H. MacDowell, president of the American Fertilizer Company of Chicago, said Germany had been sur .i,.. ki. Mimtrv with about 150.01)0 tons of potash yearly, costing 110.000,- 000. Iferiuizer ana cnemn;i mnuuiav turers have enough on hand to last through the Spring on a restricted basis, he said, but should the war con tinue through next Summer, the situa tion would become acute. Wforrimr in Other DOSSlblG SOUTCeS of supply, he said the most promising sources was Searies iaKe. uunornm, where about five tons of potassium ohinriHa n h i v Is hfline nrocured from a large dry lake. Potash could be ob tained also, ne saiu, as a oy-prouuci from sugar beets and raw wool if the manufacturers handling them would conserve the potash contained in them. Dr. William V. .Phillips, airector qi the bureau of economic geology and ihnninirv of the ITniversltv of Texas. sent a paper In which he expressed the belief that potaen couia ue uuiaiucu m paying quantities at Spur. Tex., and that other western sections of the state showed possibilities.

FARM 101 IS TAXED FARMER FOR PLEASURE, HOW EVER, MAY ESCAPE ACCOUNTING. Products Held for Favorable Market Not Subject to Allowance for Loss by Deterioration. WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. Income from farm products and crop share rentals must be included in tax re turns of income for the year in which they are sold for money or a 'money equivalent, according to a decision made public today by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Osborn. When farm products are held for favorable markets, the decision says, no deduction on account of shrinkage in weight or physical value or losses by deterioration will be allowed. Cost of stock purchased for resale is an al lowable deduction, tut that or stock for breeding purposes is regarded as capital invested and not as an allow able deduction, except when such stock dies of disease or is destroyed without reparation by order of state or Federal authorities. Cost of tools may be de ducted, but not that of farm machinery. A "reasonable allowance for depreci ation" will be allowed on farm build ings, other than the owner's dwelling, on farm machinery and other physical property. "A person cultivating or operating a farm for recreation or pleasure on a basis other than the recognized prin ciples of commercial farming, the re sult of which is a continual loss from year to year," the decision adds, "is not regarded as a farmer. In such cases, if the expenses incurred in con nection with the farm are in excess therefrom, the entry of receipts from sale or products may be ignored in rendering a return of income, and the expenses incurred being regarded as personal expenses will not constitute allowable deduction In the return of income derived from other sources."
