In general the use of seaweed as a fertilizer is a good investment, says a contributor to the Country Gentleman. On sandy soils it may merely be plow- ed under, but in general it is prefer- able to compost it. Seaweed varies considerably in anal- ysis, according to species, but all kinds contain a high percentage of moisture and more potash than do soft structure land plants. The kelp spe- cies in particular carry much potash. The disadvantage of applying large quantities of seaweed to farm land lies in the possibility of injury to some crops through the chlorine in the salt that adheres to the weed and in the acidity that may be developed through decomposition of masses of the weed. The weed should be spread on the land as far ahead of crop planting as possible to permit of the chlorine's be- ing carried off by drainage. An appli- cation of lime will remedy both the SEAWEED AS FERTILIZER. The J. D.
