Cou tinned from pa^*^ (J- column 1 

 fertilized .3900, unfertilized, 2.590, a gain 

 of 13i0 lbs. for fertilized. 



A. T. Edwards had two plots comparing 

 100 lbs. Nitrate and 200 lbs. Acid Phos- 

 phate on one plot with 1.5 spreader loads 

 of manure, applied in December, 1921 on 

 the other plot. The first plot gave 4.530 

 lbs. of hay per acre while the manured 

 plot gave 3800, the fertilizer plot beating 

 the manure by 730 lbs. per acre. Mr, 

 Edward plans to use more manure on his 

 plowed land and use Nitrate of Soda and j 

 Acid Phosphate foi' hay. 



All of the plots where top dressing was | 

 tried this year had good .sods as will be 

 seen by the yield of hay from the un- 

 treated plots. We have seen one or two 

 farmers who top-dressed old mowings and 

 while the increase in the hay crop was 

 good it was not as large per acre as on 

 good mowings. We hope that another 

 year the practices of top-dressing good 

 mowings will increase as it surely is 

 profitable.
