 land station began its experiments in 



* ' It was found that when as much as 

 300 pounds of muriate of potash was 

 used, applications of soda-ash or com- 

 mon salt, in addition to potash, gave 

 greatly increased yields in case of fod- 

 der beets. When the supply of potash 

 was reduced, crops like turnips and rad- 

 ishes were greatly increased by applying 

 the sodium compound in manure. With 

 other plants it was found that sodium 

 salts were of little value. It having 

 been found that soda was beneficial in 

 certain cases the next experiments were 

 directed towards finding out how the 

 benefit was obtained. 



"These experiments have thrown some 

 new light upon the question of how soda 

 is beneficial: Chiefly that, where potash 

 is used, the soda may not be of benefit, 

 and again, if the potash supply is short, 

 soda may be helpful. It has been 

 learned that some plants can be helped 

 by the use of soda, though there is a 

 shortage of potash, while others cannot; 

 and particularly it has been learned that 

 the use of nitrate of soda and kainite, 

 which contains large quantities of soda, 

 is an insurance against a shortage of 

 potash in soil where those plants are 

 grown which are capable ef being bene- 

 fited by soda. There is much yet to be 

 learned. ' ' 



After his informal talk Prof. Wheeler 

 answered several questions. Eefresh- 

 ments were served and the regular busi- 

 ness of the society transacted. The ball 

 committee made a report showing a sur- 

 plus over all expenses of .$107.09. The 

 committee was continued and given
