MAKING A COMPOST.
Cm Lyo No Substitute for Potasb
Cottonseed Meal and Acid
Phosphate lor PetatOM
"Fertilizer# ere so high end the
percentages of potash so low that
I am thinking of making a dim
post of woods earth and stable
manure. I want to know if I can
grow Irish and sweet potatoes
with woods mold, lime and l.ve
water added io a compost. Is
there any potash in a rank growth
of cotton stalks plowed under?
>What kind of fertlizer shall I use
for Irish potatoes on land that was
last year in peas and pastured off
by hogs? Will I get more potash
by plowing my potato ground
very deep? Is there any way in
which I can tell which of my
lands contain the most ootssh!
Can I grow potatoes with stable
manure and salt?
A compost of black woods mold
and stable manure will certainly
help the growth of crops. But s
mixture of woods mold, lime and
lye from the concentrated can lye
will not amount to much. The
can lye is not potash, but caustic
soda, and is of no use as a ferti
lizer. Woods mold mixed with s
little lime might do for some
things, but would hardly make a'
good potato crop. Irish potatoes
are apt to grow scabby if lime is
used.
There is some potash in all veg
etable growth and there will
doubtless be a little of it in cot
ton stalks- But in your section
any farmer who farms right and
stores organic matter in his soil
and limea once in five years and
uses acid phosphate liberally, will
never need to buy i>oiash.
To grow Irish potatoes make a
mixture of equal cottonseed ineal
and acid phosphate of 10 per cent
grade and use 1,000 pound* an
acta. The meal will carry a little
potash and the organic matter
left by the pea* will have released
some more. Five hundred pounds
<>f the tame will grow sweet pota
toes.
By deep plowing you may get
more avaible potash, but as to
that I am uncertain, but the deep
plowing will be alright.
Aa a rule our red clay soils cou
tain more potash than the grey,
but the amount of potash in any
soil can only be determined by
cbemicai analysis, and it is usually
insoluble and can be made avail
able to which I have referred.
Too can grow potatoes with stable
manure, but the salt will not help
for it is not fertilizer. The main
difficulty with the manure is that
it may promote the growth of the
scab fungus.?Progressive Farm

What is the Conference o! Cot

fostered by the Conference.
