FURTHER EXPERIMENTS WITH LIME AND COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS 



ON MARSH OR DYKE LANDS. 



This experiment, which has been carried on for the past two years, was repeated 

 this season. The land was ploughed in the fall of 1907, and sown in the spring with 

 Sensation oats. It was divided into 12 parts of one-twelfth acre each. Clover and 

 timothy seed was sown at the rate of 10 lbs. clover and 12 lbs. timothy seed per acre 

 on all the plots, while lime (air-slaked), and commercial fertilizer (Bowker's square 

 brand) was applied as below.
