CORN. 



Fertilizer Experiments. 



A given quantity of kainit, acid phosphate and cotton seed 

 meal mixed thoroughly and applied at time of planting, com- 

 pared with a compost of a certain quantity of cotton seed, 

 acid phosphate and stable manure applied at time of plant- 



Plot No. 1 was fertilized with kainit, acid phosphate and 

 cotton seed meal, well mixed, at the rate of 1,000 pounds 

 per acre. 



Plot No. 2 with cotton seed, acid phosphate and stable 

 manure composted, at the rate of 2,000 pounds per acr^. 



By referring to the following table of results, it will be 

 noticed that plot No. 1, which was manured with a compound 

 of commercial fertilizers made a larger yield than plot No. 

 2, which was manured with compost. 



By comparing the cost of substances used in this experi- 

 ment, it was rather more in plot 2 than in plot No. 1. 



Kainit, acid phosphate and cottonseed meal in plot No. 1, 

 compared with compost of cotton seed, acid phosphate and 

 stable manure in plot No. 2. 



Corn planted April 4th, and fertilizers applied in drill at 

 the same time.
