2. Fertilizing grass lands. In connection with the German 

 Kali works, an experiment was undertaken to study further this 

 question. Various forms and combinations of fertilizers were 

 used in good sized plots. The experiment will require some 

 time for completion. 



3. Fertilizers on corn and potatoes to run one and two years 

 respectively, one half of each plot being treated with a liberal 

 dressing of lime. 



4. Testing varieties of new forage crops. A number of the 

 newer agricultural plants that had never been grown at the Sta- 

 tion were sown in good-sized plots, that we might become 

 familiar with their behavior and value in this climate. The 

 varieties were Soja beans, spring vetch, lucerne, white lupines, 

 seradella, crimson clover, sainfoin, Japanese millet, golden 

 millet, spurry, Dwarf Essex rape, Jerusalem corn, Kaffir-corn, 

 white milo maize, teosinte, sacaline ; also four varieties of oats 

 (Black Tartarian, Lincoln, American beauty, and white Maine). 



5. Growing roots. As with forage crops a few roots were 

 grown in plots, viz., two varieties of Wahauka sugar beets, two 

 of carrots, long orange improved and white Belgian, mammoth 

 long red beet, and Lane's improved sugar beet, purpletop white 

 globe turnip and white French turnip, Jerusalem artichoke. 



6. Fertilizers for soja beans. One of the two acres of this 

 crop was set aside for a fertilizer experiment. It was divided 

 into quarter- acre plots and each was fertilized as follows : two 

 according to two different formulas recommended b} r the Massa- 

 chusetts station, one by a Delaware station formula, and the 

 other by our own.
