as the area devoted to each variety was too small to give reliable 

 data. The tests were under the supervision of Mr. Temple Smith, 

 and the weights are as handed in by him. The experiments were 

 based on those carried out at the Kentucky Experiment Station. 

 The manures used and the weights obtained were as follow : —

The Mechakical Analysis of Edt Tobacco Soils. 

 As already stated, it is in difference of mechanical rather than 

 chemical composition tliat we find the most potent iniluence operating 

 on the physiology of the tobacco plant. The figures giving _ the 

 results of the mechanical analysis of the six samples, taken from 

 different localities in the Edi district, will give an idea of the general 

 characteristics of the soils of the district in this respect. In addition 

 to figures showing percentages of sand, silt and clay, these per- 

 centages have been illustrated diagramatically after the method of 

 "Whitney ; and for comparison with American soils Whitney's diagram, 

 showing the percentages of sand, silt and clay in typical American
