Sulphur and Potatoes.

Tresting potato culture, the Rural
Ne1O Yorker says powdered sulphur has
been used to good effect for potato scab.
The freshly-cut seed may be rolled in the
sulphur, and the rest sprinkled in the
open row. If fertilizer be added in the
row, the sulphur may be added at the
same time. The point is to get the sui.
phur evenly scattered through that por.
tion Of the soil where the new potatoes
are to form, Experiments show that no
harm comes to the cut seed when sulphur
is placed in contact with it, provided
that young, tender sprouts are not al
ready formed, Sweet potato growers are
using sulphur to check the soil rot, and
the fungicide is scattered in the open row
with a fertilizer drill before the plants
are set. 1t may be said that the ex-
periments show that the good effects Of
the sulphur hold over in the soil, and
the second crop Of potatoes is as clean as
the first.

The Decline of CallfOrnla's Wheat Export

on the proof of the allegation that he was as.
