EXPEEIMEM'.S WITH COTTON, J. S. NEWMAN AND J. CLAYTON. — 

 These iiu-liide a test of varieties aiul experiments w itli tritilizers. An 

 acjount of i)ievious e\]>eiinients was j;iven in IJnllttiu No. l'l' of tin* 

 station (see Expeiinieut Station Jleeord, vol. ii, ]». 548). 



Test of rnrictics. — Descriptive notes and tal»Ml:ife<l data are fjiven for 

 US varieties ti'sred on plats an<l s test<*d in tlie field. In connection with 

 the lattei- exi>erniu'nt a test of the (Inllctt and Pratt ^nns was inad«'. 

 whi<h indicated that tliere was no «;reat «litfcrence in the workinj; of 

 these two kinds of i;ins. Wrlliuin l'ct,a "idn.st^n*" variety, was ])lanted 

 at distanc<sof from 1 !>> 4 to 4 by 1 feet, and Peeler, a loni: limbed varict\. 

 was jdanted at distances of IVom L' l»y I to 4 by "» fe«'t. 'i'lic largest yield 

 jn both cases was from the plaiitiiii: at the shortest distan<*es.
