Ze STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
Nos. 6075-6078. Timothy (Phleum pratense). Samples taken July 6, 1899, 
when the grass was in early seed stage. 
No. 6075 was from plot o. Growth very thin, light, and irregular; pale in 
color. Practically no bottom growth. Large proportion of weeds and odd 
grasses on plot. 
No. 6076 was from plot 6. Growth very thin, light, and irregular; pale in 
color, with practically no bottom growth. Somewhat heavier than that on 
plot o. Considerable clover and odd grasses. 
No. 6077 was from plot 7. Growth medium heavy, fair color, little bottom 
growth. Some weeds and odd grasses on plot. 
No. 6078 was from plot 9. Growth heavy, dense; rich green color; about 
twice as heavy as that on plot 7. Fair proportion of bottom growth. Some 
weeds and odd grasses on plot. 
Of the following green fodders, Nos. 6079-6088 were grown as part of the 
special nitrogen experiments already mentioned, while Nos. 6089-6090 were 
grown especially for fodder. In each case a large sample, weighing from forty 
to fifty pounds, was taken by removing small quantities from different parts of 
the crop as it was being cut up in a silage cutter. Each large sample was 
thoroughly mixed, then a sub-sample was taken, weighed, and dried in the 
steam drier. 
Nos. 6079-6088. Cow pea fodder.—Samples taken September 27, 1899. 
Nos. 6079 and 6080 were from plots 0 and oo respectively. The crop on 
these plots was very light; growth small and slender; the plants were drying up 
when harvested. 
Nos. 6081 and 6082 were from plots 6a and 60 respectively. Growth quite 
heavy, succulent, with few seed pods; good color, and much the same growth 
as on nitrogen plots. 
No. 6083 was from plot 7. Growth quite heavy, succulent, few seed pods. 
No. 6084 was from plot 8. Growth fair, succulent, few seed pods. Crop 
not so heavy as on plot 7. , 
No. 6085 was from plot 9. Fair growth, succulent; not so heavy as on plot 7. 
Few seed pods. . 
No. 6086 was from plot 10. Growth quite heavy, succulent, few seed pods. 
Crop better than on plots 11 and 12. 
No. 6087 was from plot 11. Growth medium heavy, succulent, few immature 
seed pods. Crop not so heavy as that on plot g. 
No. 6088 was from plot 12. Medium heavy growth, succulent, few immature 
~ seed pods. Crop not so heavy as on plot g. 
No. 6089.* Soy bean fodder.—Grown for silage, with mineral fertilizers 
only. Sample taken on September 25, 1899, from about a ton of the fodder 
which was being cut in silage cutter. There was a medium growth of fodder, 
which was quite well seeded when cut, but was still green and quite succulent. 
No. 6090." Ensilage corn ( Ohio white dent), Sample taken on September 
25, 1899, from eleven rows as weighed for test of yield. The corn (grain) was 
mostly in the ‘‘ dough” stage, some of it just beginning to glaze. The stalks 
- were green and succulent. About fifty pounds were taken for a large sample as - 
the crop was being run through a silage cutter; this was mixed and sub-sampled. 
* The complete analyses of these two samples were made. The composition of 
each, in the water-free substance and calculated to water content at time of taking 
sample, is shown in the table on the following page.
