OATS — SPECIALLY FERTILIZED. 
The oats grown upon four separate plats, specially fertilized, 
were subjected to chemical analysis, and the results are shown by 
the accompanying table:

From an inspection of the table of analyses it is shown that 
sodium nitrate exerted a marked influence on the chemical com- 
position of the oats, increasing the per cent of albuminoids 2.50 
over plat EH, where no fertilizer was used. Potassium nitrate and 
ammonium sulphate affected similarly the oats, but to a less 
degree than did sodium nitrate.
