EXPEHIMENT MADE BY Dk. J. GORDON, 



Healing Springs, Washington County. 

 Soil^ Sandy Loaiw, Sub-soil, Sandy Loam. 

 In the experiment made by Dr. Gordon for 1891, plot No. 2, acid 

 phosphate, gave 80 pounds more than plot No. 9, complete fertil- 

 izer; 336 pounds more than plot No. 6, nitrate of soda with acid 

 phosphate, but 184 pounds less than plot No. 16, cotton seed meal with 

 acid phosphate, while in 1892 plot No. 2 gives 152 pounds less than 

 plot No. 6, 96 lbs. less than plot No. 9, but 112 pounds more than 

 plot 16. The results of these experiments are so conflicting that no 

 conclusion can be made. Floats with green cotton seed give a slight 

 increase over floats with nitrate of soda for the two years.
