lekes Hears Conservation Makes Marked Progress Marked progress in guarding against unwise use of valuable nat ural resources on 400,000,000 acres of public land in the United States was reported to Secretary Ickes to day_ in the annual report of the % General Land Office. Commissioner Fred W. Johnson disclosed that the bureau is one of the few In the Government service operating at a profit, the receipts being four times the amount ex pended for its maintenance. New uses for mineral resources, it was said, have resulted from research under the conservation program. Among some of the minerals be lieved heretofore of slight value, the report pointed out, vermiculite is now in great demand for insula tion against heat and cold; gypsum and limestone for conditioning of soils and several species of clay for t - refining both vegetable and mineral oils. The domestic potash industry, largely dependent on Federally owned potash deposits, is continu ing to draw more heavily on these deposits to meet foreign competi tion and to supply farmers with this essential plant food. Conservation of the forage and water facilities on 50,000,000 acres of public domain, outside Federal grazing districts, was advanced through the issuance of 4,000 lim ited grazing leases, the report stated.
