EXPERIMENT MADE BY J. F. DEER, 



MONROEVILLE, MoNROE CoUNTY. 



Soil, Gray Sandy; Subsoil, Clay. 



Mr. Deer failed to make a report last year, 1891, so we have 

 only this year's work to compare. It is evident from this experi- 

 ment for one year that it is a waste of money to apply potash as in 

 plot 9 on land like Mr. Deer's. Floats with green cotton seed give 

 better results for the one year than floats with nitrate of soda.
