This land has been cleared for 75 years. Corn was the pre- 

 ceding crop. There was no damage reported from rust or in- 

 sect attacks. The stand was good, 820 plants per plot. The 

 average estimated increase of seed cotton was 156 pounds per 

 acre for cotton seed meal ; 292 pounds for acid phoshate ; and 

 144 pounds for kainit. 



The complete fertilizers were very profitable. The highest
