POTASH PAYS 



EXPERIMENTS ON LEMONS ON SANDY 

 LOAM SOILS 



Here is a record of two experiments on a rnore elaborate 

 plan made by Mr. J. C. Davidson, of Chula Vista, Cal., 

 and J. R. Caldwell, of El Cajon, Cal. These tests, like 

 those on oranges, show that citrus fruits in California 

 respond readily to the use of fertilizers and particularly 

 to potash. 



The increase from the use of 240 pounds Sulfate of 

 Potash per acre, was 81 boxes in the case of Mr. Davidson's 

 test, and 29 boxes in the test made by Mr. Caldwell. 

 It is well to note that Mr. Caldwell's orchard was only six 

 years old and that only four pickings are reported.
