Heujht of Soja-bean Plants upon the Different Plats of Field A 



during the Season (1894) . 



[Inches.] 



The color of the crop varied somewhat on the different 

 plats. Those receiving no nitrogen addition had a yellowish 

 appearance throughout the season, while No. 8, which in 

 previous years had been of inferior growth and color, ap- 

 peared to do as well as any during the entire growing period. 

 The plants began to bloom eTuly 25. Owing to the pro- 

 tracted drought of July and August the crop did not get 

 that fulness of growth which might have been obtained under 

 more favorable conditions. The crop was cut August 28, 

 being put into a silo with corn for the production of a mixed 



silage.
