Where seventy-five pounds pc racre
of K2O (the chemical formula for pot
ASH was used on tobacco there is
practically none, and the effect is Sc
rious on cotton. Where forty to fifty
pounds of K20 was used, there is gen
orally about one-half stand of tobacco
Where smaller quantities Of K2O were
used, the effect is not SO noticeable"
According to the statement of DR..
Summers Mr.. Williamson put the mat
ter conservatively. He said that the
loss in Darlington County alone will
run into thousands of dollars, and
while other counties of the State have
not reported, the chei:..st is of the
opinion that the loss in them in pro-
portionate. Through the efforts of J.
vi. Napier, county demonstration
agent, and Mr.. Williamson there has
been an effort to report all the damag
ed fields. In other counties, said DR..
Summers, individual cases have been
brought to the attention of the De-
partment of Agriculture.

IL cannot be a.. ged that the wide
