Clover on Sulfate of Potash makp:s a Fine Growth. noted, contains far less phosphoric acid and much more potash. The kind of potash salt to be selected for clover is a mat- ter of much importance, and experimental results at Amherst have indicated again and again that the sulfate is likely to prove decidedly superior to muriate or to kainit. The cuts presented herewith illustrate the difference in the growth of clovers on the two salts in a striking manner. These two plots were side by side, and both had been manured with equal quantities of fine-ground bone and potash for some eight or ten years. The growth on the sulfate of potash, it.
