LOCAL FERTILlZFJi EXPERIMENTS WITH COTTON: 

 IN 1905, 1906, 1907, AND 1908. 



By J. F. DuGGAK. 



For a number of years this Station has conducted numer- 

 ous local fertilizer experiments, furnishing material and in- 

 structions to farmers agreeing to make the tests. 



The number of local fertilizer experiments with cotton, of 

 which reports were received, was as follows: In 1905, ten; 

 in 1906, thirteen ; in 1907, ten ; and in 1908, twenty-two. 

 This does not include a number of experiments begun and 

 not successfully completed. In all of these years fertilizer 

 experiments were also made on corn and other crops, the re- 

 sults of which will be published later. 



The chief object of these local fertilizer experiments or 

 soil tests has been to ascertain the besit fertilizer or combi- 

 nation of fertilizers for cotton, growing on each of the prin- 

 cipal soils of Alabama. 



Small lots of carefully weighed and mixed fertilizers were 

 ■supplied to each experimenter. Detailed instructions as to 

 how to conduct the experiments and blank forms for report- 

 ing results, were also furnished. 



The following list gives the name and address of each experimen- 

 ter vfho has reported the results of fertilizer experiments made 

 under our direction during the past four years, with page of this 

 bulletin where the results may be found.
