EXPERIMENT MADE BY MR. M. A. BISHOP, 



Madison, Madison Cuunty. 



Soil, Dark Loam^ S^ib-soil, Clay. 



In Mr. Bishop's experiments for 1891, plots number 6 and 9 give 

 the same yield, and plot number 16 gives 256 lbs. less than either, 

 but the same as plot number 3, while in his experiments for 1892, 

 plot number 6 gives 128 lbs. less than plot number 9, plot number 

 16 gives 64 lbs. more than plot number 6, and 128 lbs. less than 

 plot number 9, and 192 lbs. more than plot number 3. The results 

 are so conflicting that no conclusion can be drawn. Floats with the 

 nitrate of soda gave best results in 1891, but in 1892 the combina- 

 tion is in favor of floats with green cotton seed.
