EXPERIMENT BY EKONK GRANGE. 
In February, 1894, a representative of this Grange opened 
correspondence with the Station, stating that the Grange desired 
to undertake codperative experiments running through a period 
of years. The committee from the Grange consisted of George 
H. Gallup and A. A. Stanton, of Ekonk, and John A. Tanner, of 
Campbell’s Mills. 
The soil of the field was a heavy clay. loam with clay subsoil. 
The field had been in grass for a period of years without fertiliz- 
ers and produced but small crops. 
The experiment planned for 1894 was a soil test on corn with 
five additional plots designed to study the best and most econom-

similar soils in that vicinity. Plots I and K were supplied with 
uniform quantities of fertilizing ingredients, but on I the nitrogen
