EFFECTS OF FERTILIZERS ON SPRING WHEAT, OATS AND AWNLEJS 



BROME GRASS. 



During the season of 1900 four series consisting in each case of nine one-eightieth 

 acre plots, were laid out, seven of which were treated with different fertilizers, and the 

 I'emaining two left as check plots which received no fertilizer. 



One set of these plots was sown with spring wheat (Preston), one with oats 

 (Improved Ligowo), a third with Awnless Bronie grass JJromns inermis, and a fourth 

 with common red clover. 



The object in view in these tests is to gain information as to the effects on crops 

 sown on land in a fair average condition of fertility, of superphosphate of lime and
