color but nearly as good. Plot 3 almost a failure. Plot 4. a 

 •complete failure; it burned out with the drouth. [This corn 

 was evidently planted too thick for good results on thin land, 

 which makes the success with the heavy liming the more 

 gratifying. F. S. E.] 



Row 3.- -German millet. Plot 4, good stand, line crop, 

 four feet high. Plot 3, good stand, fair crop, three feet high. 

 Plot 2, poor stand, almost a failure, two feet high. Plot 1, 

 very scattering, a failure, one foot high. [Here, as with the 

 peas, the caustic effect of the freshly applied lime was mark- 

 edly injurious.] 



Row 4. — Mayflower tomato. The plants were trans- 

 planted from a seed bed. All grew well at first, but as the 

 plants became older, plot 4 all blighted so badly that no fruit 

 was obtained. Plot 3 was a little better, but two-thirds 

 blighted. Plot 2 was much better; no blight was seen, the 

 crop was fair, but the foliage was a little off color. Plot 1, 

 plants extra fine, good color, and no signs of blight or other 

 disease. The boll- worm did not seem to trouble this plot as 

 badly as the others. A noticeable point in connection with 

 this plot was that the vines remained green till frost, and 

 still carried flowers and fruit, while on the other plots all 

 were dead and dried up. 



Kow 5. — Early Valentine beans. No difference could be 

 noted with this crop. After the dry weather came on all the 

 plots were a failure. 



Row 6. — Ruta Bagas. They did nothing ; a failure on all 

 the plots. [Entirely too late for success with this crop.] 



Row 7. — Scarlet button radish. Crop good on all plots. 

 The lime seemed to make no difference. 



Row 8. — Lettuce; Black-Seeded Simpson. Plot 4, crop 

 fair. Plot 3, good crop. Plot 2, still better. Plot 1, much 

 the best. It was extra good, and the plants remained green 

 all summer. 



Row 9. — Egg Plant. Set with transplanted plants. All 

 plots grew much alike till the first fruits set, when the plants 

 on the limed plots blighted badly. The unlimed plot made a fair 

 crop. [It is hard to reconcile this result with that obtained 

 with tomatoes. It is possible that the death of the plants on
