A series of experiments started in 1912 with potatoes was continued this season, 

 and more definite information obtained, last year's results being greatly influenced by 

 injury to seed. The plots were planted May 30 and dug October 23. The land was 

 prepared as mentioned for the test of varieties, the fertilizer experiment had the com- 

 mercial fertilizer applied in addition to the manure mentioned.
