POTATOES— TEST OF FERTILIZERS. 



A test was made of superphosphate of lime on three plots, and a check plot of same 

 »ize was planted at the same time alongside. 



The rows were two and a half feet apart and the .sets one foot apart in the row. 

 Four rows of 100 feet each were planted for each test plot and for the check plot, and 

 the yield computed from the crop of 66 feet of the two centre rows in each case.
