HXPEHRIMENTS IN GREEN MANURING. 


Two experiments with different kinds of leguminous crops 
have been started, for the purpose of studying the value of 
these crops for improving worn out, sandy lands. 
the work. 

* Hor description of soil, etc., see Report of this Station for 1894, p. 166. 
The crops 
thus far used have been lupines, cow peas, and crimson clover. 
Owing to the dry season in 1895 these experiments were not 
as successful as might be desired, and it is planned to continue 
Thus far the cow peas have given the best results.
