Officers of the Department of Agriculture are puzzled at. the strange result from potash dressings on an experimental, plot near Ruiatoria, East Coast. Grass on the potash section is definitely unhealthy, with a dirty, metallic tinge which is a dingy purple, and it contains much less growth than the part which has had no manure. There is no apparent reason why this should be so, and no explanation could be advanced by the fields superintendent of the Department of Agriculture, M ! r W. J. McCullouch and the G'sborne instructor, Mr M. A. Black, when they made an inspection of the area last week. /
