POTASH FOR PEACH YELLows.

Professor d. p. Penhallow concludes, from acare-
full investigation conducted at the experiment sta
ton of H0ughtOn Farm. that peach yolows Is not
caussd primarily by fungi or parasitic plants, al
though they may accompany II. and aggravate IT
bv their attacks Oh the plant weakened by disease ;
nor il II caused by too much dampness or heat
~ the atmosphere, nor by excessive drouth nor by
unseasOuablc iTosts or excessive Wlni cod, nor
by want al proper drainage IN the soil, nor by the
use OF ieinentable stable manure The primary
cause he considers to be deficiency in the soil Of
certain food constituents, especially potash snd
chlorine. which supplied In the well known Ger
man potash salt, murate OF potash.
The NEST striking symptoms of the disease are (;
unusual features IN the cellular structure and
tents which are evident under the microscope only;
an excess Of lime in wood aud fruit. and deficiency
of potash and chlorine which can be detected only
by chemical analysis; premature ripenlng OF the
fruit; smaller leaves. with red or yellow
color in place OF tho usual green; dark
and parched appearance OF tho bark on the
main limbs. The disease appears gradually
first on Young branches, from which II spreads over
tho whole tree; il can be detected by microscope
examination OF the cell structure and con cnl5 IN
advance o. the NJ pearancc OF any outward fymV-
toms; of these he considers the premature Iipening
Of tho fruit and unnatural color and flavor as
the most important.
In way Of possible remedies, use stable manure
with caution trim of diseased branches rs far ~
possible without too seriously muIiiatinE the tree
and cultivate carefully Apply the following miI-
tur of commercial fertilizers - lbs. kieserite 100
30 $50 lbs murate of potash and 40 lie. dissolved
comeback at tho rate 10 lbs. Of the mixture 10
each tree; IL the trees are badly diseased, add
moro muriate, about lbs. 20 each tree in spring
before growth begins, and in the fall spade the
ground rs far the roots extend, mulch win THO
inverted sody OF straw. aud apply tho fertilizer on
thu mulch, thus avoiding too near an approach 10
the roots. Tue evidence OF this theory oi me cause
il found partly in the cures that have been CT
fcrted by Tins irea tment with muriate ot potash.
Tue remedy Is a simple one for 40 destructive q
disease and % well worthy Of careful trial by all
