Yield of original “ No Nitrate” plot in four-acre 
field of timothy and Red Top— Season of 1906, 
1,760 pounds; Season of 1905, 3,180 pounds. 
Note.— Yields are much lower for 1906 than for 1905, 
owing to smaller applications of Nitrate and also to the fact 
that there was much less rainfall during the latter part of the 
growing season.
