Tbb 3o9ion Cultivator ot iiarch Sid, I8IK8. aaja:— " There 1 8 no doubt that on much long cultivated land, potash Is deficient, hence wood ashes arc iilwa^s beneficial. Even when potash is not entirely exhausted. It is sometimes loclred up in an insoluble torm The addition of fresh potash helps to make available what was before Inert, and It thus benefits crops more than tin own direct action would warrant. The potsish so long free acts as a sol vent In the aoil, enabling plant roots to get food of any kind they need. " We notice some uf the CanA^iau papers protest against their export, not without good reason . "We arge farmers to experiment with them. They are specially bene- flotal to Fruit Treea, also to Grapes." The Mirror and .Farmer aaya :— " Wood ashes are oor great home sourcs for potash. These are brought Into the market from several sources. The pro- duct of the brick kiln, It.-ne kiln, or from the woods of Canada, or tho far West. Wood ashes, saya Professor Qoestraann, have an agricultural value much above their chemical value- The principal reason for this is that they con- tain not only potash, but all the elements ot plant lood except nitrogen, and these in Ju»t the same proportions as they exist In nature, with the additional advantage of having them In a fine state of subdivlHlon. The main source of supply for the Eastern States has been of late years those brought from Can- ada, single firms selltug hundreds of thousands of bushels " The liondon, Ont., J''fe« Preta says:— 'With all our Farmers' Institutes, Agricultural Colleges, and the dissemination of agricultural knowledge through thepross, we find our most valuable manures being sold to ash men." Dr. Collier, Director New York Experimental Station, says:— "I fully ap- preolate the value of wood aabea." I can supply yon wilh'tlio Aslie« In Bulk, B«B or Barrel.
