The above experiments show that lime, sodium nitrate, 
Stable and green manure all have beneficial effects. The 
results of A verify the results shown in table 1. oodium 
nitrate was very beneficial while the other fertilizers 
were less so, but showed a slight increase. B shows that 
lime as time goes on increases in its beneficial influence. 
In B the ap lication of lime alone was attended with an 
increase over the tgst in A in which lime alone Was applied. 
Applying lime a tiie hefore planting and then ap lying 
the other fertilizers at the time of planting increased 
Slightly the efficiency of sodiun nitrate, and greatly 
increased the erficiency of green manure and stable manure. 
When, as in C, the fertilizers together with lime are 
added a time before planting peculiar results present 
themselves. dsSodium nitrate is increased but Slightly in 
erficieney and green manure and stable manure have their 
efficiency greatly increased, green manure being even more 
efficient than sodium nitrate. 
From the results obtained it may be argued that this 
soil is deficient in nitrogen. wor use by young slants. 
this element may be furnished by sodium nitrate apslied at 
the time of seeding. No appreciable increase in efficiency 
is ootained by making the application previous to that time , 
for nitrogen in this form is yuickly available and in riela
