POINTS For POTATO orow.ra

Farmers are given the benefit Of
years of scientific experimentation at
the Connecticut Agricultural College,
in a bulletin just issued, telling the
proportion of potash found to be pro-
fitable in fertilizer formulas for Che
growing potatoes. It was found that
so pounds of potash to the acre, when
used with various mixtures and
amounts of other plant food, gave the
maximum yield. and that the use Of
more than that amount Of potash was
improbable.
In computing from a money basis,
the average prices Of potatoes and
fertilizers for a five-year period were
used, and it was found that from an
investment of 81 in potash, a return
of S55 was obtained; and an investment
OF "a in potash gave an increase OF
S93. but further increases in potash
failed to increase returns.
In all experiments with potash
ammonia and phosphorus acid Was also
supplied with considerable lfbefality
1t was found that 100 pounds Of am
monia to the acre was advisable on
land not recently MANFRED, bat that
this amount could be reduced on land
recently MANFRED; also that from 100
to 100 pounds Of phosphoric acid to the
acre was sufficient. Manuring the pre-
vious year did not seem to reduce the
need OF potash.
