Experiment Made by Jxo. W. Staab^ Two Mi;i,es Nouth. 

 OF TiDMouE^ Blount County. 



Light, gray, sandy soil with red loam sahsoil 4 to 6; inches-. 



helow the surface. 



This upland field had been in cultivation about fifty 

 years. The original growth is reported as shortleaf pine, 

 gum, mountain oak, persimmon, and hickory. All plots- 

 were thinned to the same number of plants. For yields and" 

 increase see table on page 36. A complete fertilizer con- 

 taining 100 pounds of kainit gave the largest increase, andr 

 a net profit of |11.07 per acre. A mixture of cotton seed 

 meal and phosphate was also highly profitable.
