THE SOIL OF IRELAND.
Robbed and Impoverished Through Ex-
portation, Of All the Produce the
Soil Produces.
Irishmen Deprived Of Shelter by the
Wholesale Destruction Of For
est Growth.

In late issue of the Dublin Freeman
| the following article appeared showing
how the native soil OF ireland is i'm
poverished by the taking from it OF its
natural elements Of life and strength:
We have seen, at least approximately
how immense has been the robbery
from the soil Of Ireland of that I'M
portant and necessary constituent,
phosphate of lime. There is another
constituent Of soils equally important,
viz. potash, of which the country has
been deprived for even a longer period
in large quantities. Nearly every kind
OF rock. and all soils, contain potash.
1t is often the most abundant mineral
constituent in a large family of plants,
the sClanace@, which includes the POI
tato and tobacco, and is abundant in
trees and other plants. In the wool of
the sheep it is found i'll large guam tity,
while it forms portionof the flesh of
all animals. Both granite and trap
rocks contain potash in the mineral,
felspar, common to both; but rocks
take long time to become soils, some
times thousands of years, so that the
supply OF potash OF any other mineral
from granite and other rocks could not
be depended on. So if the soil is robbed
OF certain necessary mineral constitu-
ents it may take centuries before it's
fertility can be practically restored.
We say practically, because a capitalist
can, by unstinted expense, restore
piece Of land to. fertile state. But
this is not practical agriculture. which
looks to profit from its operations. Po-
fash forms from 20 to So per cent. of the
ashes OF oil our cultivated crops that
IS, OF the ashes Of those parts Of them
used as food for man. The potato tuber
contains GIG of po' ash; pea pods, 45.4;; |
beans, 1926; oat grain, 81 As, and so on.
No one can therefore ignore the i'm
portance OF this mineral And yet there
is scarcely any artificial manure, except
kalnlt. that contains any potash; and
until few years ago there was a gen.
eral neglect in returning any TO the soil
from which it was confirm

Die constitu.

" hen Ireland was first coIonized and
for thousands of years sfter, by far the
greater part Of it was covered with a
thick growth of wood-in fact, it was.
| I'LL ABOUT 200 years ago, among the best
wooded countries in the world Heating
in the first chapter Of his history says:
An cheud ainam tugadh al Eirinn, inis
ma bh-tiiodhbhadh, eadhan, oiIean ma
g-coillteadh. The first name that was
given to Erin was Inis ia BIZ
fiodhbhadh, that is, Island of the
Woods. Mention is made frequently
IN our early annals of cIearances of
woods for The purpose of cultivation
But Notwithstanding these clearances,
it was not till Queen Elizabeth's time
that the wholesale destruction of forest
| growth began to be made This was
continued by the English in the time of
James, Cromwell and William, in order
to deprive their Irish opponents Of
shelter during the operations of the
English armies against them The
Irish poetry of the sixteenth and seven
teenbh centuries contains frequent
mournful references to the destruction
of the forests. Now. what was the re-
suit OF this destruction, which was
mostly consummated by fire? In the
trst place, the accumulations of thou
sands Of years Of valuable organic mat
ter was dissipated into the atmosphere.
But not only did this happen to the yo-
LATHE OF organic matter of the trees de-
stroyed, but also to the greater portion
OF the potash they contained. Potash
differs in this respect from most other
mineral substances, that many Of its
compounds yolatilize at a high tenn
perature, such as is obtained by setting
file to number of trees cut down and
lying ON the ground. This is why in
the production of pearl ash the heat
must be moderated if the ashes left are
to contain any large proportion of po-
fash. Accordingly the destruction
wholesale Of her magnificent OAK. elm.
ash and pine forests by fire was the first
method by which the soil of Ireland
was deprived of its potash. The amount
Of this deprivation it is impossible now
to estimate, but it must have been en-
ormous. Land was cleared of timber
in quite different way in England and
Scotland SO that the potash was not
dissipated. When it is remem bered
that it is TO the centuried growth Of
heavy timber that the black earth Of
Central Russia owes its present great
fertility chat the same may be said Of
many parts of America and of other
countries, the loss effected by the rapid
destruction, principally during the last
century. Of Ireiand's tree growth can
be better understood

/ doth think
! The memory delights him more, from
whom,
Than what he hath received John
son.
What shall | give him fora Christmas

She will expect something nice for a
present, and what shall it be?
These questions are the source of end
OF worry to the lads and lasses just
now. Those who are going to make
presents just for the sake of giving
them are worried more than those who
give them as tokens of esteem or love.
These known, or least think, the re-
ceivers will accept the gifts for the sake
of the giver rather than for the value
of the article. A book, pencil, a
handkerchief, a trinket, any thing,
whether it has any intrinsic value or
not, passes current among lovers and
intimate friends
Those who make presents for the
purpose OF being in the fashion or for
appearance sake will find no end of
trouble in satisfying themselves. much
less Ill satisfying those who receive
them. Instead Of regarding them as
tokens of esteem or affection they are
looked upon with a critical eye. and
sneered at if not far beyond their ex-
pectations.
To such as these gift has no value
beyond It's worth as mere ornament.
and such it is always regarded. 1t
rarely calls to mind the giver. and even
when it does the recollection may not
be pleasant. Such presents are worth
less. and it were better they had never
been given or accepted. because there
was motiy. in giving and accepting.
which must have been either pnre or
hypocritical. Therefore it were better
neither to give nor to receive unless it
can be done heartily and honestly.

to be the quantity exported every
fourth year, including horses, mules,
asses, cattle, sheep and pigs. we should
lose yearly by this expectation 1888
pounds OF potash. This in 200 years
would make ], 246, 500 pounds loss from
this source alone. But if the wool of
sheep is reckoned, it will be found to
be much greater. About a pound Of
potash per acre of fertile land does not
! at first sight seem much, and it the loss
was confined to this source it would
not be, indeed, of great consequence.
| But there are hundreds Of other sources
of loss on much larger scale, as, for
instance, the practice OF pairing and
burning, the expectation of potatoes,
and formerly OF grain, the dlssolving
out of potash compounds by fioodings,
and the subsequent drainage neces-
STATED thereby, and various other
minor causes. In the fine, heavy loam
at Rothamstead, wheat removed dur
ing twenty years from the soil $50
pounds of potash. Now, wheat was
grown in Kilkenny, Tipperary and
Limerick before 1916 to a very large ex-
tent, sometimes two or three years con-
tinuously, to make up high rent. But,
taking the ordinary four-course rota-
ton, each acre would annually lose
4.4-5 pounds of potash. This is not
much, but when long continued it
would ultimately quite exhaust the
most fertile soil. On the other hand,
the United Kingdom is reckoned to inn
port annually in its provisions and az
tificial manures about half a million
cwts. of potash; but it is needless to
mention that nearly all of this goes to
Great Britain. Johnston has calculated,
notwithstanding this, that the total
loss Of the United Kingdom in potash
yearly is liz, 100000 pounds, while the
gain is only 13,570,1l2 pounds. II this
is so for the United Kingdom gener-
ally, we may assume that, IN proportion
to her extent, ireland suffers a much
greater loss in potash than either Eng
land or Scotland. AS Ireland is about
-nlneteenths the area of Great Brit
ain, her proportion of annual loss Of
potash would be, all other things being
equal, over 10000, 900 pounds of potash.
But considering that she is almost
wholly an exporting nation, except in
the matter of cereals, we may set it
down at least at half as much again, or
nearly 10000, 900 pounds, or ten pounds
to every man, woman and child in the
