1t is too early yet to prophesy as to

In growing it must have the support OF

the best way to handle this latter prob

POTASH ON POTATOES

Years ago when the country was
still new, and long before the bugs.
and the beetles, and the blights, the
scabs and the scurfs, the wet rots and
the dry rOts came i'm increasing num-
bers to destroy the crop, potatoes were
fertilized with potash.
1t was done unconsciously. AS the
settlers cleared the land. the great logs
and the brush were burned, leaving
on the soil fair dressing Of potash
contained in wood ashes. Tradition
says that the best potatoes were grown
on new land treated in this way, and
that never after were potatoes grown
of as good quality and as good eating
AS was this first crop.
We cannot use ashes now for prac-
tically all of our soils are old and in
fected with scab fungus. The lime In
wood ashes increases the trouble from
scab, but potatoes need potash just as
quality just the same as 1t did two and
three generations ago when some OF
our farms were just being cleared.
A single pound of potash in potato
fertilizer makes about bushel of pO-
tatOes. At the Maine state agricul-
tural experiment station 3 per cent of
potash In the fertilizer mixture Cor a
total application of 40 pounds of pot
ash per acre) increased the yield by
AZ bushels. At the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station the same quantity OF
potash increased the acre yield by
about 40 bushels. On the eastern
shore of Virginia 3 per cent potash in
the fertilizer made a 35-bushel in
crease in the crop, while 5 per cent
added nearly 80 bushels to the total
crop.
The potato crops for the past three
years have been grown without APP
piled potash. There has also been in
creasing evidence that the residues left
IN the soil by past fertilization have
been pretty thoroughly drawn upon.
and for this reason it Is doubly for
tunate that American inventiveness
and ingenuity has developed sources
of American potash, SO that the po-
tato crop may not lack this important
plant food.

WHERE THE SURPLUS P0TA-

A short crop of potatoes is little less
than II national calamity. Primarily.
of course. it affects growers by cutting
down on returns. Next IL affects all
the merchants and Industries located
in potato-grOwing regions, because it
cuts down the money in circulation
and the demand for manufactured
products Finally, the effects Of the
small crop reach into almost every

you did that too.
These were wartime meas

other wartime measure which
every farmer and truck gardener
who expects to use fertilizers
next spring must observe.
Fertilizers must be ordered
now and shipment accepted at

have been severely cut down
and 1t is only by starting In
now and running every day un-
I'll spring that anything APP

of fertilizers can be produced.
The farmer must help by get

so more goods can be made.

PROTEST FIXING OF
PRICES ON HOGS
ccontfnued from First Page

Continued from First Page
sary to prevent any further price nx-
Ing on hogs
The petition reads as follows:
THOMAS W. Gregory. Attorney Cen
eral, Washington, D. C.:
AS members of the New York Prod
uce Exchange, vitality interested in
handling the products of agriculture
We petition your honorable self to
take such action as will prevent any
further arbitrary price fixing of hogs,
and consequently OF hog products. by
q so-called hog price fixing committee,
which, as far as we can learn, is act
ing without any legal status.
Price fixing by this committee has
been in operation for several months.
&s war measure, we would have
nothing to say. but would loyalty sup
port any action of the Government for
increasing the supply Of food. 1t is
now no longer a war measure, and
such arbitrary action should be stop
ped. Everett c. Brown. chairman OF
rhe/Hog Price Fixing Committee, has
openly stated that were it not for
the activities of his committee, hogs
would now be selling at from 10 to IL
cents per pound, instead of 17l2
cents per pound. the price arbitrarily
liked by his committee.
what end in view the committee
has in holding the price of hogs, and
consequently the price of hog prod
ucts, at from 5 to cents per pounrd
above the normal price, based ON sup
ply and demand, we do not know. but
We do know that the arbitrary a.
ton of this committee is placing a
heavy on the long suffering consum-
ers. who comprise about 10 per cent of
the population OF the country in com
parison with about 80 per cent OF the
farmer population, and that it is now
causing discomfort among the people,
which is now openly and bitterly ex-
pressed.
"As q war measure, well and good,
but in peace the old law of supply
and demand can fix prices better than
any Government bureau, whose use
fulness is now at an end, and whose
activities, II they cannot be entirely
suppressed should be held down to
the strict letter of the law.
