PLESVILLE. 



D. M. FOSHEE. 



Sandy loam. 



The preceding crop on this land was corn. No report was 

 made on insect injuries or stand. All of the fertilizers were 

 profitable. The greatest profits were from mixtures of cotton 

 seed meal mixed with either kainit or acid phosphate. The av- 

 erage increase of seed cotton per acre was 272 pounds for 

 cotton seed meal; 33 pounds for acid phosphate ; and 19 pounds 

 for kainit. 



Nitrate of soda, applied June 5th, was more efifective than 

 was cotton seed meal in a complete fertilizer.- The smaller 

 amount of kainit was preferable to the larger amount.
