On the plot receiving a liberal dressing of potash, soda and magnesia, in ad dition to the superphosphate, the total yield in tight years was 1,301 bushels, or an average ol 170 bush els each year per acre. In other words, this liberal dressing of pot ash increased the crop only 1J bush el per acre.

A hen nitrogen is added, then we have a ; larger crop, but there is UO proof, SO far as I can see, that nitrogen ; and phosphate without potash ; would not have given a lar; e crop also. No doubt, as Sir John sas. he potato must have potash."' What we want to know is whether the soil does not contain enough potash to produce a good crop of potatoes, provided there is sufficient availa ble nitrogen and phosphoric acid. I am inclined to think that where we depend on barn-yard manure or . clover or grass sod to furnish nitro- gen for the po'.atoes, we do not need to use potash our manure or sod furnishing relatively more potash than niti ogcii.
