EXPERIMENT MADE BY R. H. CROSS, 



Letohatchie, Lowndes County. 



SoU, Sandy Loain\ Sub-soil, Yelloio Clay. 



Mr. Cross gains nothing by the use of potash on his land. In 

 1891 complete fertilizer gave a slight increase over plot 6, nitrate 

 soda and acid phosphate, but yields 160 lbs. less than plot 16, cot- 

 ton seed meal and acid phosphate. In 1892, plots 6 and 9 gave the 

 same. Plot 16 gave 301 lbs. more than either. The indications for 

 the two years are that potash is not needed in this soil. Floats, with 

 green cotton seed, gave better results for the two years than floats 

 with nitrate soda.
