SPECIAL EXPERIMENTS WITH FERTILIZERS. 



Experiments with fertilizers of different kinds were continued for five years pre- 

 vious to 1904, it was then decided that further fertilizing of these plots should be dis- 

 continued for a time, and the land seeded to grain to determine to what extent the 

 fertilizers already applied would continue to supply plant food for the crop. The field 

 was seeded entirely to grain of different sorts. Two plots of each kind was sown. In 

 one Mammoth Red clover was sown with grain, at the rate of 10 lbs. per acre, and in 

 the other the grain was sown alone, not seeded. This is the second year that this has 

 been done. The plots were one-eighth of an acre each. This ground was ploughed in 

 the fall of 1904, the growth of clover was light owing to the particularly dry summer. 

 The following yields were obtained from these plots : —
