It happened that among these experiments there was but one 
where the unlimed plat made a successful growth. In each 
of the 22 experiments the use of lime resulted in a distinct gain 
to the alfalfa and in 6 experiments this improvement was so 
marked as to produce a successful crop when the adjoining un- 
limed plat was a failure. 
The lime applied in these experiments varied from 1000 to 
2C00 lbs. per acre. 
EXPERIMENTS BEGUN IN 1907. 
In this year the experimenters were generally induced to lay 
out exactly an acre according to the plan given on page 35 
and the Station paid for 750 Ibs. of stone lime to be applied 
to one-half acre. Of the experiments of this year 37 were so 
conducted that the results seemed reliable and they are given 
in Table V.
