The Story of Field A of the 



Massachusetts 



Agricultural Experiment Station 



A Review of Experiments With 

 Nitrogen Fertilizers 



By Fred W. Morse 



The year 1932 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the formal organiza- 

 tion of agricultural research at Massachusetts State College. It was in 

 November of 1882 that the Experiment Station was established, and 

 field plot experiments begun tlie next year represent some of the first 

 activities. It seems fitting, therefore, after this fifty-year period, that 

 results from this work be compiled and recorded in permanent form. 

 This bulletin represents such an effort.
