application Of commercial fertilizers on

Contradictory Effects Of Plaster Explained
Through all times plaster has been r..
| garded by many As a direct and very
valuable plant food, especially for clover.
BY others it has been regarded as Of no
value for the good reason that no visible
effects followed its use. In the light OF
more recent knowledge such contradict
ory phenomena are apparently well ex-
planned, says Rural New Yorker. Plas-
ter sets the fixed or insoluble potash Of
the soil free-that Is to say, the sulphu-
ric acid Of the plaster combines with the
fixed potash Of the soil, forming sulphate
of potash which is soluble. So, too, 1t
may act upon the carbonate Of ammonia
Of the soil, which is volatile, fixing il as
sulphate OF ammonia, until, a. such, it IL
used by the growing crop or passes
through the soil in the drainage water.
In most cases, it is probable that the
lime OF the gypsum has little, If any,
effect in increasing the crop upon soils
which are already well supplied with
lime, and yet it is often upon Just such
soils that gypsum shows at its best. In
such soils there is littledoubt that potash.
either in unleached ashes, muriate or
sulphate of potash, would have a more
immediate and telling effect upon the
crop. In this case the needed element
tpotash) is given to the soil in soluble
condition; in the other, the plaster splits
into two parts, 30 to say, the lime be-
coming fixed and the sulphuric acid seiz-
ing upon the inert potash rendering it
soluble. 1t will be seen that plaster IL
