WOOD ASHES MAKE
VALUABLE FERTILIZER

Wood ashes are certainly worth
saving. Ordinarily, they are consid
cred to contain half as much potash
as kainit contains. This means, at
prevailing prices for potash, that
wood ashes are worth at least $4,000
per ton.
But ashes are quite variable in
composition. At one experiment sta
ton several analyses were made Of
fresh, unleached, hard wood ashes
produced in ordinary farm homes.
The average of all tests showed that
such ashes contain over 9 per cent
potash, over 2 per cent phosphoric
acid, and about 35 per cent lime.
Such ashes are much more valuable
than ordinary furnace ashes, and are
worth over one and "a half times as
much as the price named above.
1t shold be remembered that hard
wood, such as oak and hickory, pro-
duces ashes much richer in potash
tran pine does, and ashes from coal
is practically worthless. If water
soaks through ashes the potash rapid
ly disolves and is carried off, result
ing in leached ashes. Hence, care
lessness in handling results in
much lower quality.
Wood ashes should not be mixed
with stable manure, since the lime in
the ashes would cause the nitrogen
in the manure to pass off nto the air
as ammonia gas. Neither should ash
es be mixed with acid phosphate,
since the lime would change some of
the available phosphoric acid into a
form less available for the use of
plants.
Before the war we were getting
practically all our potash from Ger
many. We are now endeavoring to
become Independent of Germany for
potash, and it is claimed that we are
able to do so. The saving of wood
ashes will help to do this-D. ]. Bur-
