The one thing to be observed. however,
is that the nitrogen is available in

It is believed by the leaders of the

will induce the managers of mills in
Pittston, Scranton, Patterson, N. r.,
and the Hess-Goldsnith mill in this
city to arrange some means of reach
ing settlement and that the mills

POTATO AND FERTILIZER,
Potash Increases the YieId-Other
Things That Are Told.


Things That Are Told.
Commercial fertilizers influence the
composition of the potato, especially as
regards the quality Of starch it con-
tains, if analyses are to be relied upon.
The value of potash in producing adj
ditional quantities of carbohydrate in
growing plants has been pretty well es-
tablished. 1t is evident that the liberal
use Of potash not only favors the
growth of the potato in regard to yield,
but also tends to increase it's content
of starch.
German experiments indicate that a
moderate use Of nitrogen tends to
slightly increase the content of starch
in the potato. An excessive use Of nj
trogenous fertilizers is to be avoided.
According to Virginia station reports:
Potatoes grown without fertilizers
contain the greatest amount of dry
matter. The addition of fertilizers
tends to diminish the dry matter and
also as the quantity Of fertilizer used
Is increased the amount of dry matter
is diminished.
Potatoes grown where sulphate Of
potash is used contain more dry mat
ter than those where muriate is used.
Very little effect is produced on the
starch by either the kind or amount Of
fertilizers used: their tendency is to in
crease rather than to diminish it.
Potatoes grown with muriate of pot
ash contain less dry matter but slight
ly more starch than those grown with
sulphate Of potash.
Neither the kind nor amount of ferti-
lizer has any appreciable effect on the
percentage Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash contained in potatoes.
