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

 ExiJcriment Station. The percentages of the several ingredients will vary considerably, 

 depending upon the fertility of the soil, and especially ujion the stage of growth of the 

 ))lant. In the majority of cases the number of sam](lcs analyzed is too few to give 

 a fair average. The figures, therefore, must be regarded as close aii)>roximatioiis, 

 rather than as representing al)solutely the exact fertilizing Ingredients of the diltereiit 

 materials. (.1. B. L.)
