HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



July 11 the crop on Plat 1 looked lighter than on any of 

 the rest. The canes were reduced to three in each hill before 

 heading, and the tops removed after the ears were fully 

 developed, to hasten on maturing of the crop. There is 

 a marked difference in the results as far as Plat 1 is con- 

 cerned, — organic nitrogen gives the highest results ; in case 

 of different forms of potash. Plat 3 and Plat 6.
