Irish Potatoes.
AN ELABORATE AND CAREFUL EXFERI-
MENT IN FERTILIZING.

As the season for planting Irish pota-
toes is at hand, someexperiments made
last season may interest and instruct
YOUR readers. | own the greater part OF
a flat woods pond about an acre in extent
which four or five years ago was drained.
This pond hardly ever gotdry, and when
full held about one and a half feet OF
water. 1t was too deep for cypress and
too shallow for saw grass, the growth
being plants Of the lily family and maiden
cane, the clay lying from one and half
to two feet below the surface, and the
man who dug the drainage ditch got q
very respectable string of fish. Now,
everybody who looked at the mucky,
almost peaty soil OF this pond, which the
crawfish of centuries had mixed some
what with sand and clay, remarked,
"Well, that is the best land [ have seen
here, and it ought to raise anything"
Now, this looked reasonable to me at
first, but my experience has been various
and apparently, contradictory The land
certainly has organic matter enough to
supply all the nitrogen needed if it can be
made available. We also know that
most OF our clays contain considerable
percentages of phosphoric acid, and the
countless generations of fish which have
made this pond their home, with the
multitudes of craWfish that have bur-
rowed in it must have lett phosphates in
the surface soil, while the pond, being
surrounded with very large trees, received
an unearned increment OF leaves and pine
straw with their salts, and possibly some
potash from drainage.
The insoluble fertility Of this pond,
however, seems to require the heat and
steamy atmosphere of summer to makeit
available, for maiden cane grew shoulder
high and rice the same, with heads often
eight to ten inches long, and although
in the process of killing the maiden cane,
put in sweet potatoes as late as July
18th to Goth, / got one hundred and
twenty bushels from One-half acre before
frost, yet, Irish potatoes put on part OF
it in the winter of 1S9O91, with O.
moderate dressing OF fertilizer gave but
moderate results, and as | can irrigate
this pond from my artesian well, IcOnclu-
ded in the winter of 1922 to ask the
land some questions with soluble and
available chemicals.
In planting the main crop of One'half
acre mixed the main part of the COM
mercial packages of chemicals mentioned
later to the amount OF 1920 pounds and
value Of over $50, the percentages being
ammonia IL per cent, phosphoric acid
500 per cent, potash "a per cent.

was second best, being nearly as good.
Nos. 1 and 9, Z, 8 and 8 were third Oest,
all but alike. No. 4 not as even a stand
as the Others mentioned. Theremaining
plats were but little better than no manure
showing just coming up to two or three
inches high.
February Goth, No. 3 had made the
best growth and averaged two inches
higher than any ofthe others, with many
leaves as large as my hand. Nos. and
2 were next best in appearance.
Nos. 4, 5, 6, Z and were not quite
SO large as Nos. 1 and 2, and did not
vary greatly in amount OF foliage. The
stand OF No. 8 was not SO even as that of
No. 6 but the plants were greener and
looked more vigorous.
Now the frost affected the eXperimental
plats the same as the regular field but as
this effect was uniform | consider the
results as reliable for comparison as
though the frost had not happened.
The sulphate plots generally were more
promising than the corresponding nitrate
OF soda plots. Eleven and - showed
more vigor than ID and IA; Is was a
little better that 16 None of the plots,
from 10 to 16, were more than one half
better than nO-manure plots.
[ selected good specimens of the first
nine plots, marked and cooked them for
comparison of differences development
and flavor, which were quite marked.
OF the single element, suIphate of
ammonia, nitrate of potash and nitrate
of soda specimens, the sulphate of
ammonia specimen was best and nitrate
OF soda poorest. Forrester's and the
complete sulphates were best OF all and
much alike; that grown with the For
roster S fertilizers being slightly sweeter
bearing out the claim that has been made
of sulphate Ofmagnesia aiding starch and
sugar formation. This effect was also
shown in the larger proportion of No. 1
potatoes from this plot, although the
land was not in as good mechanical con-
ditiOn. There was but very little differ
ence between Nos. and and Nos. and
6, but the nitrate of soda potatoes had
rather sOaDy texture and alkaline flavor.
The soda base of nitrate OF soda is
doubtless sometimes used by grains and
grasses as q base for their sicates, but
[ am convinced it is rather detrimental
than otherwise to fine quality in Irish
potatoes. | made tests of chlorides
against suphates, as this question has
been decided in favor of sulphates by the
experiment stations.
Although the question of the need of
potash has been well i vestigated in
Florida, [ was rather sorry after seeing
the great necessity of phosphoric acid in
maturing the potatoes and their inabil-
ity to gain it from the stores in the SOIL
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-02-01

The percentage of phosphOric acid was
purposely left small, as believed there
was enough in the land, but in harvest
ing was convinced it should have been
two to three times greater, as thestarches
OF the potatoes were not normally fixed,
the pulp Or sap rather in many cases
seeming apparently to be acid, as it
broke down very quickly, fermenting or
decaying when bruised.
Five barrels of seed cut in quarters
n sixths were put on this half acre in
drills two feet apart. The seed was
dropped six inches apart in the drill, the
fertilizer being strewed first and lightly
mixed with the soil. planted the Chill
Red variety and gave fat culture.
| irrigated when necessary and the
growth Of vines was magnificent, but
when the largest potatoes were the size
of hens eggs the frost of March 18th
came along and cut back the vines over
one-half. | tried artesian water as a pre-
ventive of freezing, but, though the
bitches were iull and part OF the tops of
the beds were covered, and thick layer
Of vapOr rose twelve or fifteen feet over
the surface, yet it protected but partially
a narrow line ofvines on the leeWard side
OF the bitches and was of utsmall benefit
| came to the conclusion therefore,
that tender vegetables can be saved by
artesian water from frost in the open air
only by covering the whole surface Of the
ground to depth of at least six inches.
AS the new potatoes set before the frost
grew very little and slowly afterwards
while new potatoes set when the vines
grew again, 1 had on digging nearly
twenty barrels of culls and but thirty
barrels OF marketable potatoes, about
two thirds No. 2. instead OF seventy five
barrels of large marketable potatoes [
expected to harvest and financially but
little more than made expenses.
In making these experiments l chose
representative bed and planted six rows
across the bed for each formula in same
manner as the regular crop, the plots
containing as near as possible one two
hundredths of an acre.
The end OF the bed next to the main
ditch was poorly plowed and narrowed
and to get good start for the other
plots fortified this end plot with For
rester's orange tree manure to see If the
suIphate of magn"sia would help the size
maturity and favor of the potatoes and
did not expect So large a propOrtionate
total yield.
The plots were numbered and fortified
as follows with nitrate of potash, nitrate
OF soda, sulphat" of ammonia, dissolved
bone black, precipitated phosphate, pure
carbonate of p fash and 80 per cent.
sulphate of potash, so as to specially
contrast the eff cts of nitrogen and phos-

The ratio of potash taken was that
furnished by the nitrate of potash, as |
was not particularly testing for potash,
though q striking example of it's neces-
sity at the start was shown in the growth
and by comparing yields OF Nos. 2 and 4,
