Potatoes Grown With and With
out Potash.
Summary of Three Years Trials at Aroos
took Farm.

Foreseeing the possibility that with the
continuance of the war very little potash
would be available for use in fertilizers,
the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton began in 1915, on an Aroostook Farm,
series of experiments to ascertain the eff
feet of different amounts of potash.
These have now been carried through
wears. Each year duplicate plots were
grown. The results given below are the
averages obtained from series of plots
in years.
Five different fertilizer mixtures were
used. In each case the fertilizers con-
tanned per cent of nitrogen Is per cent
ammonia) ammonia, of which one-thlrd
was in the form of nitrate of soda, and =
per cent available phosphoric acid. The
potash varied as folio. S: On one lot IN
each series there was no potash The
next plot also had no potash but common
salt was applied at the rate of 300 pounds
per acre. The salt was used to see wheth-
er this would aid in freeing potash al
ready in the soil not in available form.
The fertilizer for the remaining plots
contained respectively 2 per cent, 5 per
cent and 8 per cent potash. In each case
the fertilizer was applied in the planter at
the time of planting, at the rate OF LOU
pounds per acre. The plots were about
one-half acre each. The area OF each
plot was obtained by actual measurement
at harvest and the yields are based upon
the weighed crop from each plot at time
of digging The average yields per acre
| for the 8 years are given in the table IN
hundred weights. The Federal Food Ad-
ministration has fixed the hundred
weight as the commercial unit for pota-
toes. For comparison it may be remem-
bered that 100 barrels are the equivalent
of 155 hundredweight and 100 bushels the
equivalent of 90 hundredweight.
Table showing yields obtained on dit
ferent plots with and without potash. All
plots had ample nitrogen and phosphorlc
acid. Average results for the years
1876 and ~ Each year the plots were
in two series and the figures are the aver
ages from plots for each treatment.

In the 6 trials in the 3 years the add
ton of 80 pounds of potash per acre has
yielded a significant and constant In
crease Larger amounts have not been
used at profit. 1t is noteworthy that
I good crops can be grown on good potato
soil without the addition of potash and
that 80 pounds of potash was practically
as effective as larger amounts per acre.

1t is reported from Washington that
the government will assume supervision
of salt water fishing. We feel like re-
peating what we once heard fervent
brother exclaim in a revival meeting:
"Amen! that's big talk" Certainly, let
the whole Democratic outfit 60 on fish
ing cruise. Put them under the COM
mand of hustling New England captains
and let them learn to fish or cut bait.

The discrimination of few thousand
passenger trains in the United States is
likely to make the Railroad Brotherhood
sit up and take notice. With many of
the members of that organization the
necessity of getting job will be para
mount to that of getting more wages. It
is likely that furthur curtailment of the
passenger service will become necessary
and that much of it will not be resumed
for several years after the war is over

1t is said that President Wilson has
sent to all the executive departments
bureau chiefs, in which this suggestion
is found: Forget how things were done
before the war. Eliminate red tape"
1t seems to us that the revelations which
the investigations have shown will sug-
gest to the President where the elimina-
ton process should begin.

CRUSHED ROCK.

Complaints come from every section
of the country concerning the poor quail
ity of coal. 1t is unjust to blame the
local dealers The blame lies with the
coal barons. They saw their opportunity
to profiteer and made use of it. They
are mining from their poorer coal mines,
are selling a cheapened product at an I'M
warranted price and the public is in the
grip of soulless corporations who snap
their fingers at the government and say
to us with grin ''Take that or shut down
your factories and freeze in your homes"
This is practically one phase of the coal
situation, and there seems to be no way
to prevent its continuation. When we
pay war price for coal we want the real
article. We can buy crushed rock for
less money in Maine than we are getting
it for at the coal mines.

 Those who have been making sur gical dressings are urged to take up the work on refugee garments to help alleviate some of the misery ana suffering during the cold months at hand. The realization that the surg ical dressings made by the local women of the northwest have haved the lives of many of the boys will be a source of lifelong qualification but let them not rest on these laurels The surgical dressing patriots may perform further and greater ser vice by adopting the slogan of More Refugee garments for those who have survived this great war but have lost all they hold dear on earth"
