TENTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



The season was wet and very favorable for the grass crop. 

 The yield from the fertilized plot was 3,840 pounds, and 

 from the check plot, 2,930, making a difference in favor of 

 the former of 910 pounds. These same plots were cut the 

 present season without further treatment, giving 2,420 pounds 

 from the fertilized plot, and 1,600 pounds from the other, — 

 820 pounds in favor of the fertilized.

Sowing Crimson Clover in Different Months. 



An experiment has been conducted for studying the result 

 upon this crop when planted at different times during the 

 growing season. Sowings were made June 29, July 31, 

 August 31, October 10, and November 6. In the late fall a 

 representative specimen of each of the seedlings was photo- 

 graphed, as shown in Figure 3. From these it is seen that 

 the plants attain a fair size when planted early. All were 

 unable to withstand the winter climate. An occasional plant 

 in each of the earlier sowings came through and blossomed.
