Gray clay loam zvith red subsoil. 



This land has been cleared for 10 years. The stand was 

 uniform. There was no rvist, but some damage was done by 

 the cotton caterpillar. The largest increases are from com- 

 plete fertilizers and from a combination of acid phosphate and 

 cotton seed meal. Apparently fertilizers used singly were not 

 profitable. The average estimated increase of seed cotton per 

 acre for cotton seed meal was 244 pounds ; for acid phosphate 

 99 pounds ; and for kainit 93 pounds.
