FIELD EXPERIMENTS WITH FERTILIZERS. LO? 
was added as nitrate of soda, and on K as organic nitrogen from 
animal flesh (ammonite). The yields in the two cases were 
essentially the same. Of the complete fertilizers, the most eco- 
nomical mixture was that used on plot M, costing $13.00 per acre. 
The mixture supplied nitrogen and potash in the same propor- 
tion as the other complete fertilizers, but furnished phosphoric 
acid in quite large quantities (85 lbs. per acre). The results of 
the soil test part of the experiment, as far as showing the defi- 
ciencies of the soil is concerned, are not conclusive. A repetition 
of the work, under more favorable conditions of weather, is 
needed before conclusions can be drawn.
