The larger yields obtained last year (1894) on corn as com- 
pared with the season of 1890 are probably due to fertilizing 
materials left over from the leguminous crop (cow peas) grown 
in 1893. ‘The beneficial effects of the growing of legumes, om 
soil fertility, and their importance in a rotation can not be too. 
strongly urged on our farmers. 
For general conclusion with the class of experiments the reader 
is referred to Bulletin ro and the Fifth Annual Report of this. 
Station. 
Our thanks are due to Mr. Francisco J. San Roman, Honorary 
Delegate of the Chilian Nitrate Combination to the Columbiam 
Exposition, for the nitrate of soda used in the experiments here 
reported upon.
