The effect of the fertilizers was so obscured by the misapplication 

 already mentioned that it seems hardly worth while to discuss the 

 results. Especially does the fact that one entire row which received 

 "complete fertilizer" stood outside the stakes bounding the plot 

 affect the results. 



The figures appear to indicate that potash was the ingredient which 

 this soil most needed.
