EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



This year the crop was mixed grass and clover. The follow- 

 ing table gives the fertilizer schedule and the yields per acre 

 obtained this year on the different plots: — 



The materials are not used in such quantities as would be 

 expected to produce large crops. The data accumulated during 

 the twenty-six years of the experiment have helped materially 

 to determine the specific plant-food requirements of different 

 crops. 



Grass Plots. 

 In this experiment different materials are used in rotation as 

 top-dressing for grassland. The experiment began in 1893; in 

 1901 and 1902 some portions of the plots were plowed and re- 

 seeded; since then the field has been continuously in grass. 

 The following table gives the fertilizer schedule and the yields 

 per acre for the past season : —
