Influence Of soils.

The domain of experimentation
is but begun. We have not
yet found out what soils are
best adapted to certain fruits and
vegetables. We have been raising
sweet potatoes for a good many years,
but have still many problems to solve.
The writer was on South Water street,
Chicago, last week, and casually got
interested in sweet potatoes. Jersey
sweets had been selling at 50 per bar
rel, but had later declined in price, all
other growths keeping steadily below
them. A very fine barrel of sweets
was announced as on sale at ST.
This" said the salesman, lis fine
barrel of Illinois grown potatoes" On
being questioned he said that Jersey
potatoes always were best in quality,
then came Illinois, and then Maryland.
The Other localities ranked lower.
Jersey potatoes sell best, in spite of
the fact that they have to be trans
ported further and are consequently
more exposed to deteriorating condi-
tions, and would be, we suppose, more
likely to rot. A trial of the quality of
these tubers will show that there is no
locality in this country that will grow
n sweet potato rs fine as New Jersey
soil will grow it. This is generally
speaking, for there may be localities in
other states that are identical in com
position to the New Jersey soil, and
that If known would produce as fine
sweet potatoes. 1t would be interest
ing to know the exact composition and
texture of the New Jersey soil used for
this product. 1t would be interesting
also to know the different soils in each
state. The state of Maryland has al
ready begun this good work. A map
has been made, showing by colors and
diagrams the soil in every county and
township. A man can sit down and
with the map tell quite accurately
what kind of crops should be raised in
each place. Every one knows the
great difference there is in the same
apple when grown in different states.
This is more the result of soil differ
ence than anything else. The moral
to be drawn from these few remarks is,
that we have got to get acquainted
with the soil with which we are work
ing In other words every intelligent
farmer should know the exact analyses
of his soil for the first twelve inches in
