ABOUT POTATOES.

An item is going the rounds, TO the effect
that potato tubers are not exhausting to the
soil, that the tops are very exhausting, and
should therefore be spread as evenly as may
be and left TO decay in the field.
Allowing something for exaggcration, the
premises seem to be true, and the conclusion
Of some practical importance. The facts
are, that the tuber draws largely, and the
tops still more largely, upon the potash Of
the soil. Consequently the growth Of both
must be cxhausting, but that Of the top most
70, on soils not 0yerstocked with potash I;
but il the tops are left to decay on the soil,
this ingredient is restored. and the whole
result is not more exhaustiDg Eve believe
this from experience as well as from reason
ing than the generality of crops.
While on this subject we wish to say, or
rather to repeat, for we have said il before
and mean to keep il before our readers, that
in preparing for a crop ol potatoes, unless
the soil is known 10 abound in potash, this
should be a prominent ingredient in the
manure. The potato being potash plant,
not that it carries of very large amount
Of that substance, but using great deal Of
it during its growth. requires that the soil
should be well supplied with it.
We lay claim TO no specific for the potato
disease. but we have long suspected that the
exhaustion Of the potash in old fields may
have had something TO do with IL; and il
the plant is ever TO regain complete ascen-
d-Rcy above the power &C the disease, we
are strongly inclined TO the belief that il
will be by supplying il plentifully through
successive grow;hs with this fayorite food.
