POTASH EUNGER OF POTATOES

Throughout all of the principal pc
tatO-grOwing sections Of the East there
is growing evidence of the effect OF
lack of potash on potatoes. First this
hunger for potash was made apparent
by decreased yields. Virginia, Maine,
New Jersey and New York have found
that they cannot grow potatoes as Well
as they could five or six years ago.
Potatoes don't set as well, tubers
don't fill out, and disease is more COM
mon.
Potato specialists, who have been
studying the matter, say that most Of
the trouble is due to the lack of pot
ash In the potato fertilizer. They also
say that the new diseases of potatoes
which have been SO common for the
past two years are nothing more than
potash Hunger"
The Phoma stem blight, which was
90 common In 1918 along the Eastern
seaboerd, has been definitely traced
down to malnutritiOn due to lack Of
potash. The disease is made apparent
by a brOnzing of the foliage followed
by a premature collapse of the entire
plant
Specialists In Washington say that
using potash fertilizer will remove the
cause Of the trouble, and advise farm
ers to buy fertilizer containing to 3
per cent Of potash for use next year.

In 1917 as in 1900, but this was Sc
cured at the expense of our European
neighbors. Our exports practically
ceased; we had no surplus left to send
abroad.
But the question is, Toward what
are we headed?" Shall we have to
continue to reduce our meat ration un-
TIL eventually we come to the plan of
cereal-eating China? This Is the
natural trend in every highly populat-
ed country. Where people and live
stock must compete for the same
grain. live stock is pretty apt to get
left.
But there Is no real need for perma-
nent meat shortage In America. Our
farm and particularly our pastures are
not producing anything like full ca.
pacity. Following the close of the war
fertilizer will undoubtedly be uSe0
more extensively than ever before to
boost live stock production. Many
live stock farms could actually double
thee carrying capacity by making use
of commercial fertilizer. Fertilizer
to Keep More Live Stock" bids fair to
be a popular slogan on the American
livestock farm.

MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE
MORE PORK

In these days when every acre mTt
be made TO produce Its utmost, the re-
suits with fertilizers ut the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station are most
interesting.
Translating corn yields into terms of
work, 1t was found that where no fer
tilizer Of any kind was used, an acre
Of corn would produce about 2o2
pounds of pork; where manure was
used on the corn land, 457 pounds of
pork were produced; and where fer
tilizer was applied In addition to
manure. an acre of corn produced $50
pounds Of work.
On most farms manure Is lacking
and more dependence must be placed
upon the commercial forms of fertiliz-
er. All who expect to use fertilizer
next spring should place their orders
not later than November. Wartime
conditions make 1t necessary to order
far In advance.

MORE AND BETTER CORN

The overage acre yield of corn In
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, three Of the
leading corn-belt states, has been
about 80 bushels per acre-and this On

which is naturally of the best. On the
other hand in New England, on land
cultivated for we'll on to two centuries.
on soil not of the best, and in climate
rather bleak and harsh, the average
has. been ~ bushels per acre. 1t is
the consistent and intelligent use OF
fertilizers which has made the differ
ence possible. In all corn sections
yields of from 20 to 100, or even more,
bushels per acre are easily possible.
Fertilizers not only make possible the
production of more corn per acre. but
by So doing free land for other uses

crop.

Editor Collingwood Of the Rural
New Yorker says:
Gasoline leaves no organic matter
behind 1t. We have come to the time.
and we are rapidly going further into

stable manure for people to buy and
put on their ground. And then, pee pie
will suddenly wake and realize that all
these years they have been giving TO
stable manure a value 1t did not carry.
and that, with fertilizers properly ham
died and with cover crops, they will
be able, to get the same results with
less labor. with more profit and with
