124 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



Green manure and phosphorite as a fertilizer, A. N. Engleiiakt {Aim. Zlnchr. 

 Landw. Versudu^w. Oederr., 3 {IVOO) , No. 6, pp. 631-64^').— Thin article, an aljstract 

 of a book review, treats of the use of phosphorites as fertilizers and reports the 

 results from the use of finely ground phosphorites and barnyard manure in growing 

 rye, the application of finely ground phosphorites alone as a fertilizer for barley, 

 oats, potatoes, and rye, and the use of lime as compared with phosi)horites. The 

 effect of applications of pliosphorites is also shown. The experiments here reported 

 cover tlie period of 1885 to lS8i). 



Fertilizing value of steamed bone meal, F. W. Dafekt {Zlsdir. Lundw. 

 Vermchstv. Oesterr., 4 {1901), No. 2, pp. 90-98). — In reply to the claim of Kellner and 

 Bottcher (E. S. R., 12, p. 323) that the phosphoric acid of 1:)one meal is very incom- 

 pletely utilized on soils abundantly supplied with lime, Ijut is very effective on those 

 poor in this constituent, the author reports the results of exijeriments on both kinds 

 of soils which seem to show that there is no definite relation between the lime con- 

 tent of the soil and the action of the bone meal. He therefore concludes that the 

 action of bone meal does not depend upon the lime content of the soil, but upon 

 other conditions.
