Alfalfa. 249 



in masses as large as a kernel of corn. On the limed portions the weeds 

 are large and prosperous. 



Oct. 30. Plat 15 1 3. Slightly stronger growth throughout than on 

 15 14, especially on the no-lime area. 



Plat 1514. Check. Plain Seed, Manure and Soil. July 28 



No lime. Lime.

This plat is quite weedy, dock especially abounding on the limed por- 

 tions. The alfalfa is not uniform, being vigorous in some places and 

 weak in others. On the vigorous and green portions nodules may be 

 found on all sections. The weeds are not so abundant on the no-lime 

 section. 



Oct. 30. Plat 1 5 14. Good stand, good vigor except on no-lime 

 section. 3-lime area somewhat better than 2-lime and i-lime, but the 

 difiference between no-lime and i-lime is much greater than between 

 I -lime and 2-lime or 3-lime areas. This is probably the strongest check 

 plat and only slightly excelled by 1513.

The weeds are much smaller and fewer than on the preceding plat. 

 The alfalfa, however, on all sections is not so patchy. There are green 

 and pale plants, but they are interspersed. The green plants bear nodules. 

 The alfalfa on no-lime section is small, but green. This end is wet and 

 low. It is more vigorous and of better color on the limed section. 



Oct. 30. Plat 15 1 5. Stand fair. Vigor medium on limed areas 

 and rather poor on no-lime. There is little difference between i-lime, 2- 

 lime and 3-lime areas.

The effect of lime in invigorating the plants does not seem to be so 

 noticeable as on other plats. No nodules could be found on the 3-lime
