Barn and Field Experiments in 1917. 15 



Comparison of Grass and Cultivtaed Parts of the Plots. 



The "part in grass" was really in cultivation in 191 5 and 



1916.

For the one year in grass there is a reduction in size and 

 improvement in color as compared with the cultivated parts. 

 In all the years there seems to be striking correlation between 

 size and color. The larger the size of the fruit the poorer the 

 color, and the smaller the fruit the better the color seems to be 

 the rule. 



It is planned to continue the experiment until decisive 

 results are obtained and the unfertilized plot shows evidence 

 of the need of plant food.
