SPECIAL EXPERIMENTS WITH LIME AND COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS 



ON MARSH OR DYKE LANDS. 





Special experiments were continued this season with lime and commercial fertil- 

 izers on marsh or dyke lands as in previous years. This was on a part of the marsh 

 somewhat lower than the average and uneven in surface. The cold and wet in the early 

 part of the season and the breaking of the dykes with repeated flooding with salt water 

 the previous season, produced conditions so unfavourable that no particulars were 

 kept of the results. 



HAY CROP. 



The hay crop was the heaviest cut for a good many years, both on upland and 

 marsh. 



23 acres on upland yielded 

 45 n marsh »
