SALT AND SULPHUR AS FERTI

| Although common salt has been used
as n fertilizer on certain crops in Eu-
rope. the College of Agriculture states
that its use is inadvisable because Of
the uncertainty OF results and because
acid soils. upon which salt will not act
as n fertilizer, are common in New
| York State.
| On account Of the shortage of potash
| for fertilizer the qu,s; has been
raised whether common sat cannot be
used as a substitute. The most extern

that salt may take the place IF potash

and on certain soils. Mangcls. turnips

+ good results arc not TO be expected on
all soils. one unfavorable condition is
aCdity oc the soil and the effect of salt
on such soils would be to aggravate
this sour condition.
In western New York. where salt

ceived for the crops were much less
than the prices now received by grow

The soil was somewhat heavy and
had been lightened by heavy appliCa-
, tons OF manure for several years and
vegetable refuse OF all kinds. II was
well drained by series oc tile drains
and open bitches.
on this land crops OF sladioli zinnlas,
lilies. corn and various vegetables and

sulphur was sometimes used sprin-
