AS measured by transpiration and green Weight sodiur 
nitrate, a complete fertilizer, stable manure, green manure , 
and Line had & peneficial eifect. Tricalcium phosphate 
and potassium sulphate each depressed the growth, the potash 
salt being the more injurious. When either one of these 
two salts was combined wWitn sodium nitrate there was only 
a very slight retardation of erowth. Apparently the 
sodium nitrate whieh, When applied by itself, gave far better 
results than any ot the other applications, exerted a 
beneficial influence, but such benefits were not suflicient 
to yuite overcome the mischief wrought by the other two 
salts. When the phosphate sakt and the potash salt were 
avpylied in combination the poorest results were obtained. 
In a complete fertilizer application the nitrate was able 
to over come the bad effects of the other two salts, and 
give a slight inerease as is shown by comparing the results 
obtained with those of the check. otable manure and 
green manure were eyually benefieial , and in efficiency 
stand next to sodium nitrate, which nowever far surpassed 
them. | Lime was as efitective as a complete fertilizer 
using green weight as a factor for comparison, but when 
transpirations are compared, lime had a slight advantage. 
Chalk and gypsum were not beneficial. 
It is a matter of common field experience that Lime 
has oenericial results on this soil. As by the previous
