The first three experiments, 215, 216 and 220, comprise what 

 we call our straight fertilizer experiments ; the next four are ex- 

 periments on cultural methods, with and without manures ; and the 

 last four are a combination of fertilizer and cultural methods ex- 

 periments. Each of the fertilizer experiments contains sixteen plots 

 of ten trees each. The treatments are shown in Table IL The 

 symbols N. P and K refer to nitrogen, phosphates and potash ; and 

 they are applied at the rates of 50 lb. N., 100 lb. PoOg and 150 lb. 

 KoO per acre in all cases. Plots 5 and 6 compare the muriate and 

 sulphate as a carrier of potash. Plots 11 and 12 compare acid phos- 

 phate and "floats" as a carrier of phosphoric acid (phosphorus 

 pentoxid, more correctly). The manure is applied at the rate of 

 12 tons per acre and the hme at 1,000 lb. per acre. All applications 

 are made annually. 



The combined results to date of the first three experiments are 

 shown in Table IL 



Soils un-mapped as yet, but probably closest to the types indicated accord- 

 ing to the observations of C. F. Shaw and H. J. Wilder. 



fThis soil has received no series name but it is one that has been deposited 

 in a lake bed formed -by the tem'porary stoppage of the Susquehanna in 

 cutting through the .mountains. 



tin the two sets of figures in this and the following experiments, the first 

 gives the number of trees under fertilizer treatment, the second those under 

 differing cultural methods. In experiments 339, the latter includes only a 

 sod mulch plot. 



§ Trees set out in connection with these experiments, hence, not yet in 

 bearing.
