In the i ,THE NEW BABY. ? Marou* in N?w York Time*. FARMING WITHOUT POTASH NOT DIFFICULT PROBLEM Proper Breaking and Dialnage of Soil Are the All Im portant Details for Farmer to Look After. (By J. F. Latham) ? Wo are asked many times each day an we go about, "What are far. iners to do this year for potash?" Usually our answer is:- "Use that which the Lord madr when He made your soil." There Is In our clay soils enough potash to grow (our I hundred or more crops. Tho trou-l ble Is we have not managed our soli I as(we should. Therefore, the pot ash in our clay is not available. Prof. Massy has well said: "The farmer who has been farming right need not be alarmed about potash." Prof. Massy simply meant to say this: That if a farmer has his soil well drained and broken deep (and! any less than 8 Inches is not deep breaking) and filled with orgsnlc matter heJ^ll have available potash in his own soil without buying a1 pound of tho German product. The question is alfeo asked many times: "What has drainage, deep breaking and organic matter to do with mak ing potash in our soli available?." ft has this to do with it: In the crea- 1 Hon of things the Creator gaVe Into] the hand of nature the key to the soil, and nature has Certain fixed | law# that must be obeyed, if we would succeed* but if broken wo j must pay the penalty. The air Is on* of the pgoncles of nature that Is working for us, and when we work co-operating with nature, It always | helps us by unlocking the (formantj i?'aut food In our soils so that It '5tfclds Itself tip to the needs of ourj growing plants, and our crop* are j I abundant, otherwise it locks itself up against us and wo fall. | That we have plenty of potash fn our clay soils, we certainly know.j | That It 1* not available In suffleiettt ? usatity to make large crop yields^ [we also know; and further we know| the reason it is not available Is lts| water-eoaked condition. One law of| atwre\s that air and water will not| nf|. so, If a toil is saturated or filled - It h wster, that is to say if ita W 'd ra!*TTWI WHfMil \JH iro? fore, there oen be no breaking down vt the dortflant potash or other plant food* therein contained. Bat If a soli b* well drained, deeply broken and fills* with humus, then the air (one of nature's agents) penetrate* that soil at deep as It Is broken and helps \t> liberate tbe plant food thai is dormant or looked up therein. Lime will also help tQ liberal potash and other plant fooda In aa sold soli, or, toeaprees It dlgerently lime Will sweeten i eonr soil. Foi tasoa, lime ought to be applied our add soils that hare reaa Lims Is aot a far Is not plsnt food of Itsel ~ aot M used a ficlal effect in acting on and work ing with the elements already la the soil In making compounds and pre paring plant foods , for the growing crops. Lime alone will not correct the acid condition or liberate potash in a water soaked soil or a soil void of humus. Farming In Beaufort county In 1916 without commercial potash and how much longer we dont know. But according to Bible prophecy prob. ably 4 5 years. We are asked if there is a substitute for potash? No there Is no substitute for potash. Potash is one of the distinct, spe cific, essential plant food elements and no other elrment can perform its functions. Nitrogen and phos phorus are also distinct specific es sential plant food elements and as potash have each a certain function of their own to fill, so ordained by nature, that each In its own order shall fill its own function and they can not substitute one for the lack of the other. Lack of space prevents a more 'detailed discussion of this matter. More will be said later. ' FOUND 7 GALLONS AT N. S.
