Coal Ashes For Potatoes.

We have heard OF some farmers
who applied a small handful OF coal
ashes in the hill before planting their
seed potatoes, taking care to let the
seed come in contact with the ashes.
Their potatoes thus treated were free
from rot and scab, while others in the
neighborhood were very badly affected
by disease. The farmer who tried
this is enthusiastic over his success,
and proposes to apply coal ashes in
the hill to as many potatoes as he can
secure the ashes for. But one expert
ment, even though so satisfactory as
this, is not conclusive. There may
have been a difference in time of
planting or of soil which would have
saved these potatoes from rotting any
way. It would have been more salts
factory if o group of four or eight
hills were ashed, and some adjoining
them were at the same time planted
without the ashes.
As we have often explained, there
is very little if any manurial value in
coal ashes. So far as increasing the
potato crop is concerned coal ashes
are useless. But the very fact that
the coal ashes have no manurial value
may be an advantage in growing pota-
toes free from rot. In contact with
this material, free from manures, II
there were germs on the seed potato
that might extend and cause rot they
would be isolated, and thus the new
crop could be grown free from rot. All
farmers know that to put stable man
ure in contact with the potato would
either make the soil around the seed
too dry, or in rainy season it would
! furnish the best breeding place for
She rot fungus. In fact, stable man
Ore plowed under the same season is
MOT now considered safe practice
aAong farmers who are experienced
in}growing potatoes. 1t is much bet
teS to manure the ground year or
tya before, and so give the manure
tim6 to ferment and disappear, leav-
inc pnly its condensed nitrogenous
and mineral fertility in the soil.
Aone way we think that in 6 wet
season, GS It was while the potato crop
was growing this past summer, the
coal ashes may prove benefit. They
help to dry out the hill. So too will
superphosphate of lime, especially
that made with little excess Of
sulphuric acid, as most of it is. We
have known farmers to use a very
little phosphate in the hill with
lpotato seed, but in this case taking
care not to have it come in contact
with the cut surface, which it would
soon eat into and destroy. Potatoes
thus treated were free from rot, while
those beside them not phosphated in
the hill were half rotten. In this
case We attributed the good effect to
the drying of the soil in the hill. We
can imagine that coal ashes being
inert themselves must have operated
to make the soil more dry inside the
hill during the very wet weather early
in the season. Even when the dry
weather came this dryness in the
centre of the hill where the potatoes
form is an advantage, for most of the
potato roots that supply moisture have
by this time extended to the middle
of the rows.-American Cultivator.
