EXPERIMENT MADE BY J. W. MIZE, 



Remlap, Blount County. 



Soil, Red Sandy; Subsoil, Sticky, Mineral Nature. 



In the experiments made by Mr. Mize nothing is gained by the 

 use of potash. In 1891 plot No. G gave 144 pounds more than plot 

 No. 9, and plot 16 gave 176 pounds increase over plot No. 9, while 

 in 1892 plot No. 9 gives an increase of 8 pounds over plot No. 6 

 and 98 pounds over plot No. 16. 



These results are conflicting, and no conclusion can be drawn. 

 Floats, as in plots No. 11 and 14, gave same yield in 1891, while in 

 1892 floats, with green cotton seed, give an increase of 224 pounds 

 over nitrate of soda with floats.
