Complete fertilizer caused an increase sufficient to pay for itself 

 an'i a little more, while both lime and plaster were used at a loss. 



For this soil I should advise for corn a fertilizer rich in potasJi, 

 containing materials to furnish per acre about: — potash^ 80 pounds, 

 nitrogen, 25 pounds, and phosphoric acid, 25 pounds. 



With such manure as was used, I should advise the application of 

 materials to furnish about 40 powids of available potash x>er acre, say 

 80 pounds of muriate of x>otash.
