The Evaporation of Water Through
Plants
Plants.

Bulletin No. so of the experiment
station at Logan, Utah, by Prof. Sam
uel Fortier, gives a statement of the
amount of water drawn up through
the tissues of growing crops and
evaporated at the leaves, as compiled
from the investiga tons of Messrs.
King, Wollney, Hellriegel and others.
1t was found that clover in 1892 evap-
grated the rainfall of 1918 inches;
that the corn evaporated $500 inches
in 1892, and 26.39 in 1891. That oats
evaporated 10 inches in 1892, and 1860
in 1891. Mr.. Hellriegel estimates that
$50 tons of water are absorbed by the
roots of clover, drawn up through the
stems and evaporated through the
leaves for each ton of clover harvest
ed. Referring to alfalfa, it is stated
that it is not unusual to irrigate al
falfa every two weeks and to spread
an amount of water over it's surface
during the period of it's growth equal
to depth of six feet. A portion of
this water sinks into the subsoil and
may flow off as seepage water; the
second part is evaporated and the re-
mainder, perhaps one-third of the
whole, passes through the tissues Of
the plant and is mostly transformed
into vapo rat the leaves.

ment of nitrate of potash, due to the
action of moisture and frmenta-
ton on the nitrogen and pot
assium in the stems This
was suggested by an affection
of the kidneys, found on a number of
sugar plantation from which the
work stock were suffering, rendering
them unfit for work, and in some in
stances producing death. 1t might be
we'll to repeat that the nitrogen, af-
ter the plant has been allowed to go
to fruit, is found chiefly in the peas
and the leaves, and that the stems are
found to contain large quantities OF
potash. When the hay at this stage
of development is subjected to moist
ure of fermentation in the barn or
rick, the remaining nitrogen in the
stems, as well as the potash which
they contain, is formed into the nj
trate of potash, or common saltpetre.
On account of the conditions present
this chemical change was feared but,
so far as we know, had not been dem
onstrated by chemical analysis. Re
Gently, however, two samples OF hay
from a plantation on which the all
ment in question had existed were
sent to the chemical laboratory of the
sugar experiment station at Audu-
bon Park, New Orleans, to be an
alyzed, with the view of determining
whether nitrate of potash was pres
ent in quantities sufficient to produce
irritation of the kidneys Of the mules
when fed continuously for a length Of
time.
The result of the chemical analysis
showed that did exist this salt in
large quantities. This is valuable
piece of information to all those who
feed this forage crop, and should be
a warning against it's use, except in
a perfectly sound condition. With the
sugar planter it is a valuable stock
food, but it ought to be seen to that
