found. No nodules were found on the no-lime section. The three limed 

 sections are much alike. This plat as a whole is quite similar to 1503, the 

 alfalfa not being dark green save in the inoculated spots. 



Oct. 30. Plat 1504. Like 1503. Not equal to 1502 or 1505. 



Plat 1505. Check. Plain Seed, Manure, Inoculated Soil. July 28

The alfalfa on the no-lime section is very small and yellow. It may 

 be that earlier in the season the plants were more abundant on the other 

 sections and the vigorous ones have killed the weak ones. The color and 

 vigor of the alfalfa on the limed sections are satisfactory, inoculation 

 good. 



Oct. 30. Plat 1505. Good stand and fair vigor except on no-lime 

 area which is thin and poor.

The weeds in this plat are not quite so abundant (apparently) as in 

 some of the preceding. The plat shows quite a spotted appearance, the 

 yellow areas having few or no nodules. This plat indicates that dark 

 green color may be due to good condition for growth as well as to inocu- 

 lation, there being many dark green areas where no nodules occur. The 

 limed sections are much alike. The alfalfa on the no-lime section is 

 much more vigorous than on same section on the adjoining check plat 

 (1505) probably because of the lime supplied in the fertilizer. 



Oct. 30. Plat 1506. Good stand throughout. Vigorous growth on 

 3-lime and 2-lime, fair on i-lime and weak on no-lime areas. ^

The weeds on this plat are not abundant. Abundant inoculation was 

 found on the limed sections, but few nodules on the no-lime section. The
