Ashes are valuable for fertilizer
on most lands. but on some lands
have the opposite effect, on &C.
count of the lime in them combining
with some of the mineral elements of
the soil. The great value of ashes is
due to both lime and potassium con-
tanned. Hardwood gives a richer ash
than soft wood and the hardwood
trees differ in the mineral contents of
the ash. The elm tree is especially
rich in potassium. On acid soils ashes
are especially valuable on account OF
the lime, which neutralizes the acids.
