172 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



Nos. 6^33-6_^S4. Soy bea^i seed. — Nos. 6533-6542 were the 

 early white variety grown iti the special nitrogen field experi- 

 ments of 1901. In each case an average sample of about one 

 quart was taken on Jan. 24, 1902, at the time the total crop 

 from each plot was weighed. These samples were sealed in 

 quart jars. Since this is the first time this variety of bean 

 was grown in these experiments complete analyses of a few 

 samples were made in order to obtain an idea of their composi- 

 tion. Nos. 6543-6554 were the medium early green variety 

 grown in the soil tests of 1901. The samples were taken at 

 the same time and in the same manner as those from special 

 nitrogen experiments. 



No. 6533 was from plot o and No. 6534 from plot 00. The growth of vines 

 was small and pale yellow in color and the seed development was light. The 

 growth was a little better on plot 00 than on plot o. 



Nos. 6535 and 6536 were from plots 6<7 and bh. Growth of vines and seeds 

 somewhat lighter than on nitrogen plots; vines pale yellow in color. 



No. 6537 was from plot 7. Growth of vines and seed medium heavy; vines 

 good color. 



Nos. 6538 and 6539 were from plots 8 and 9. Growth of vines and seed 

 quite heavy. ^ 



No. 6540 was from plot lo. Growth of vines and seed medium heavy, not 

 quite equal to that on plots ii and 12. 



Nos. 6541 and 6542 were from plots il and 12. Growth of vines and seed 

 quite heavy; vines good color. 



No. 6543 was from plot o and 6544 from plot 00, and 6545 from plot 000. A 

 light growth of vines and small proportion of pods. 



No. 6546 was from plot A. Vines rather light, dark green in color, seed 

 medium heavy. 



No. 6547 was from plot B. Growth of vines and pods medium heavy, bet- 

 ter than on plot A. 



No. 6548 was from plot C. Vines and seed medium heavy, much the same 

 as on plots A and B. 



No. 6549 was from plot D. Heavy growth of vines and seed, better than on 

 plot E. 



No. 6550 was from plot E. Medium heavy growth of vines and seed. 



No. 6551 was from plot F. Heavy growth of vines and seed; vines lighter 

 than on plots G, X, and Y. 



No. 6552 was from plot G. Heavy growth of vines and seed. Growth at 

 harvest lighter than on plots X and Y. 



No. 6553 was from plot X, and No. 6554 was from plot Y. Very heavy 

 growth of vines and seed.
