1 Many of these analyses were made in earlier years by the Massachusetts State Experiment 

 Station. The percentages of the several ingredients will vary considerably depending upon the 

 fertility of the soil, and especially upon the stage of growthof the plant. In the majority of cases 

 the number of .samples analyzed is too few to give a fair average. The figures, therefore, must 

 be regarded as close approximations rather than as representing absolutely the exact fertilizing 

 ingredients of the different materials. (J. B. L.)
