Aug. 9th. Plants green, but no larger than those of nnfei'til- 

 ized plots. 



Plants green and but very little larger than those of unfertilized 

 plots. 



Rural Aug. 9th. One-third of the plants are dead. 



Foliage remains green. [Rural Aug." 9th.) 



Foliage green and shows no sign of maturing. {Rural Aug. 

 9th.) Neither potash alone, phosphoric acid alone, nor phosphoric 

 acid and potash cause any additional growth over the unfertilized 

 plots. [Rural July 5th.) 



Neither potash alone, phosphoric acid alone, nor phosphoric acid 

 and potash cause any additional growth over the unfertilized plots. 

 Either nitrogen or ammonia salts, however, in every plot cause a 

 decided increase in growth, while the complete fertilizers stand first. 

 [Rural July oth.) Foliage turning yellow here and there as if in 

 the first stages of maturing. [Rural Aug. 9th.) 



Foliage jjoor. Eaw bone helped somewhat. [Rural July 5th.) 



The vines of these potatoes are of a yellowish-green, as if be- 

 ginning to mature. [Rural Aug. 9th.) 



This farm manure plot is likely to gain as compared with the oth- 

 ers as the season advances. {Rural July 5th.) Foliage has not 

 changed since our last report. [Rural Aug. 9th.) This plot with 

 old horse manure is, singularly enough, scarcely better -than the 

 unmanured plots at the present tim.e. Harvest may tell a different 

 story. Next year this stable manure plot would probably out-yield 

 any of the others. [Rural Aug. 9th.) 



Foliage as green as that of any other. [Rural Aug. 9th.) 



The foliage of these kainit plots is a yellowish-green, the same 

 as from the beginning. [Rural Aug. 9t]i.) 



These plots 21 and 32, whether 880 or 1760 pounds are used, 

 are scarcely better than the unfertilized plots. (Rural Jn\j 5th.) 

 Foliage the same on both. (Rural A.\xg. 9th.) 



Unleached ashes seem to have no effect. [Rural July 5th.) 

 Plants on this plot are quite green. [Rural Aug. 9th.) 



The plants of this plot are turning yellow. [Rural Aug. 

 9th.) 



In case of continued dry weather we should look for improve- 

 ment in the mulched plot over the others. {Rural July 5th.) 

 The vines of this plot are all green and the thriftliest of any. [Rural 

 Aug. 9th.) 



Not measured. Smallest of all. 



As regards the yield per acre, we will give the two extremes —
