STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



percentages of nitrogen in the crop was not iu direct proportion 

 to the amount of nitrogen used in the fertihzer. The increase 

 was mudi less regular in this experiment than in similar ex- 

 periments with grasses in past years. It will be noticed, how- 

 ever, that the percentages of nitrogen and of protein in the 

 crops were much higher where the higher rations of nitrogen 

 were used as fertilizer than where the smaller amount or no ni- 

 trogen was applied. The growth as a whole was not quite as 

 vigorous as in the experiments with Hungarian grass and with 

 millet, nor as in some of the experiments with grasses in past 

 years. This may account in part for the irregularities in the 

 results obtained this year. 



EXPERIMENT WITH HUNGARIAN GRASS. 



The results of this experiment, which included pots 17 to 

 32, are given in Table 78.
