ties higher than the average, and 434
q low condition, ranging from 100
the standard Of medium prospect,
down TO 10, and in but very few cas-
O. down to entire failure. The State
averages are calculated, not simply
from the number Of counties report
cd, but from the comparative pro-
duction of the several counties.

OTaTORS.

We all have observed tho great deterio-
ration in our potato crops during the past
ten or twenty years and what is the cause
of this alarming decrease of tnbers7 Can
science, can chemistry point Out the reason,
or aid in remedying the difficulty? We
think II can, and in order to place the mat
ter in clear light. we will point out the
kind and amount of food which the potato
demands.
We had field of potatoes upon the farm
which yielded 800 bushels TO the acre this
may be regarded as an old fashioned crop.
This crop removed from the soil In tusdTy
and tops at least 400 pounds "f potash; al.
so 1t removed $50 pounds of phosphoric ac-
i'd. Now these amounts are very large,
and serve TO show that the potato plant is n
great consumer OF the two substances, and
also II shows that in order to restore our
potato fields to their former productive
condition, we must supply phosphate COM
pounds and substances holding potash in
large quantities.
For six or eight generations in New Eng
land, our fathers have been exhausting the
soil by removing these agencies in tler
potato and other crops, and we have reach
ed time when the vegetable is starving in
our fields for want of its proper food. Our
farmers have found that new land gives
the best crops, and this is due 10 the fact
that such fields afford the most potash. But
so long as we crop our pastures so unrea-
sonably, we cannot resort to new land, as
land is not new land that has had its potash
and phosphate elements removed by graz
ing animals.
Remember that potato field which gives
but 100 bushels to the acre requires at least
100 pounds of potash, but by allowing the
tops to decay upon the field, sixty pounds
OF this is restored to the soil again, as that
amount is contained in them. \ medium
crop of potatoes requires twice as much
phosphoric acid as medium crop of wheat,
so that in two years-with wheat the land is
| deprived of no more Of that agent than ii
loses in one year with potatoes. -Boston
