Crimson clover was soAvn in tlie cotton field in 1912 in the way indi- 

 cated for two Charlotte fields. The growth of the crop was markedly 

 better on those plats to which phosphoric acid and lime were added. 

 On March 20, 1913, the growth of the clover on plat 11 was approxi- 

 mately three times as great as on plat 10, which received the same ferti- 

 lizer application but to which no lime was added. The color of the 

 clover, too, was of a much darker green color on plat 11 than on plat 

 10. The clover on all the plats was turned on April 24 and the land

double disked. Early in May the corn was planted. The cowpeas 

 so^^Ti in this crop of corn on the plats at the last cultivation made only 

 poor growth. During the fall after the peas had completed their 

 growth, the fertilizers for the wheat crop were broadcast over the plats 

 and disked in. On ISTovember 28, the wheat was drilled in a well 

 prepared seed bed. The stand of wheat secured on all the plats was 

 good. The wheat on plats receiving an application of acid phosphate 

 made the largest growth, the best growth of all being made by plat 11. 

 In Table TV will be found the different treatments given to plats 

 of this field and the results of each of these on the yields of corn, wheat 

 and cotton grown in rotation :
