 redtop, oats, corn, rye, potato, the blueberry, and the cranberry. When treated with potash 

 salts and lime they are neutralized and should yield good crops of red clover, wheat, and 

 rutabagas. The successful cultivation of peat lands is dependent on the recognition of 

 differences of acidity and alkalinity and the appropriate adaptation of crops.— G. B. Rigg.
