SPECIAL NITROGEN EXPERIMENT. 
In the year 1895 the Station began a series of field experi- 
ments on the effects of nitrogenous fertilizers on the yield and 
composition of corn, cow pea fodder, and soy bean seed. Sam- 
ples of the seeds, the fodder, or the stover were taken from the 
various plots at the time of harvest, and have, in most cases, 
been analyzed. Samples 1718-1726, 1731 of cow pea fodder, 
and samples 1736-1745 and 1746-1755 of corn stovers, and the 
two lots of flint corn, 1756-1765 and 1766-1 775, described 
below, represent samples taken in connection with this experi- 
ment. For a full description of the experiment, see pages 
Io1—106 of the Kighth Annual Report, and page 205 of this - 
Report. 
SEEDS. 
1756-1765, Yellow flint corn.—Grown by the Station in 1896. Nos. 1756 
and 1757 were from plots without fertilizers. Nos. 1758 and 1759 were from 
plots to which were applied dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per 
acre, and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Nos, 1760, 
1761, and 1762 were grown on plots to which mixed minerals were applied, as 
in 1758 and 1759, and had in addition 160, 320, and 480 pounds of nitrate of 
soda per acre respectively. Nos. 1763, 1764, and 1765 were grown on plots to 
which mixed minerals were applied, as in 1758 and 1759, and had in addition 
120, 240, and 360 pounds of sulphate of ammonia per acre respectively. 
1766-1775, White flint corn.—Grown by the Station in 1896. Nos. 1766 and 
1767 were from plots without fertilizers. Nos. 1768 and 1769 were from plots 
to which there were applied dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per 
acre, and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Nos. 1770, 
1771, and 1772 were grown on plots to which mixed minerals were applied, as 
in 1768 and 1769, and had in addition 160, 320, and 480 pounds of nitrate of
