EXPERIMENT BY J. M. HULL. 
The field where this experiment was located had been in grass 
the previous year, and, owing to a poor “catch,” gave but a 
small yield. The field was sown to oats in 1892 and seeded to 
grass with the oats. When plowed in the spring of 1894, pre- 
paratory to the experiment, there was a thin turf of grass and 
clover. The soil is a light loam with a sandy to gravelly 
subsoil. The field sloped somewhat toward the first nothing plot 
(o) and the yield on that plot was no doubt considerably 
increased by the more favorable moisture conditions there found. 
For this reason it has been thought best to use only one nothing 
plot (co) for calculating the gain on the other plots. Plot oo 
seemed to represent much more nearly the average condition of 
the soil. The results on plot H are omitted because of an error in 
planting. Thesoil on plots F and G was somewhat more gravelly
