4 ' i." - POTASH IS BES SINGLE FERTILIZER Onions Yield 585 Bu. to Acre Where 400 Lbs. of Enricher is Used. Tsults apparent thus far from the investigations in muck soil which have Leon -.".Tried on this summer at the Valley View farm indicate that potash used alone on the s"il, at the rate of 400 pounds to the acre, is the Iest ingl fertilizer. The results .'rum the use of potash and other fertilizers were shown Wednesday to farmers and others who visited the farm at the invitation of County Agent John S. Hord.ur and the koveriimcnt and Purdue experts who havi been in charge of th work. Tho experimental work was taken up la-ct spring under the cooperative direction of the United States department of agriculture and Purdue university. Various combinations of fertilizer were used for onions, celery and cabbage. The onion crop wan the only one which had been harvested Wednesday and the work in these had not been completed sutficiently to show exact results. The yield of onions on the plat which had been fertilized with both potash and stable manure, at the rate of 00 pounds of the former and 15 tons of tr.e latter to the acre, was approximately GOO bushels to the acre while the yield with only potash, at the rate of 400 pounds to the acre, was approximately DSO bushel.. This yield was secured in spite of an unfavorable season. As to the celery and cabbage the only means Wednesday of noting the results of the fertilization was from tho apparent difference in growth. As ivith the onions, the best results seemed to be where both potash and stable manure had been used at the rate of 200 pounds and 1 r tons per acre respectively. Tho poorest showing in ull three crops is on soil fertilized only with lime or with raw phosphate rock. This experimental work has been under the supervision of II. ( Thompson, hortieulturalist for the department of agriculture. Fred E. Miller, assistant hortieulturalist, and M. l. Butler of Purdue university have had charge of tho work. The work has been carried on in pure muck soil closo. to the drainage ditch on the Valley View farm of which W. C. Harder is manager. It is probable that another opportunity will be given to farmers of tho county to have the results of the experiments explained when the celery and cabbago is harvested. Work on 72 I'lais. Tho method of procedure in the work has been to try each crop on 72 different plats having as many -different combinations of fertilizer. The fertilizers used were nitrate of soda. tankage, Hno ground lime stone, well rotted stable manure, acid phoyphate, muriate of rotash, ground bone, sulphate of potash and raw phosphate rock.
