Florida S Potash Supply

| There is no shortage Of potash
in South Florida; there is plenty
of it GO per cent? in palmetto
ashes.
We have once before called at
ltention to this fact, but we do it
again because we hear that, ow-
ing to the limited supply of potash
from Germany and the impossible
lty OF getting more from that
country, the fertilizer manufac-
turers are putting so little of it in
their manures that the results in
the crops are very unsatisfactory.
Much complaint, for instance, has
peen made about the quality of the
tomatoes produced this senson and
the explanation given is that the
fertilizers used did not contain O.
nough of potash.
This deficiency can be supplied
by the use of palmetto ashes
Farmers clearing land of palmet-
to should be careful to save
The ashes and store them away for
use when needed. Roots of the
palmetto contain probably a larg-
'r percentage of potash than do
he leaves, but the ashes of
caves, stalks and roots have G.
Tough potash in them to make
mem very valuable for fertilizing
purposes and they should be care
ully saved.

The Tampa papers accuse The
Herald of being "long-winded .
IN its editorials. Bless you, breth-
rem! you use the wrong word; it
should be "long-typed." The
Herald uses large type, 10-point /;
the Tampa papers use 6-point. A
column editorial in The Herald
would make only half-column in
the Tampa papers. Old folks
with falling sight can easily read
this paper, but they have to use
powerful glasses to read the Tam
pa papers. We think all the big
dailies would. add to their popu-
larlty by using larger type for
reading matter.
