The agricultural chemical laboratory (Professor Tollens) consists of two rooms, one for qualitative and quantitative analysis, with accommodations for 36 stu- dents, and one for advanced or thesis work, for 10 students. The gen- eral auditorium or lecture room of the agricultural institute has a seat- ing capacity of about 36, and is never crowded—less than ever later in the semester, owing to the German system of non- compulsory attendance. For purposes of instruc- tion and demonstration in agronomv use is made of the experimental grounds, greenhouse, and other equipment of the plant- culture experiment sta- tion. The experimental grounds have a total arei^ of about 15 acres, and ad- join the agricultural insti- tute on the north (PI. XVI, figs. 1 and 2). Experi- mental work on this land was begun b}^ Professor Drechsler in the beginning- of the seventies, and has included trials of systems of rotations, variety tests of farm crops, fertilizer experiments, and improvement of cereals and other crops through continued selection. The diagram herewith given shows the divisions of the experimental grounds (tig. 22). The crops grown on these in l!>Ol were as follows: Field A.—Gottinger rye. Field B I.—Square-head wheat. Field B II.—Potatoes, 22 varieties. Potash fertilizer Field C.—Red clover. Field D.—Peas, 2 varieties, and beans. Potash fertilizer experi- ments. Field F.—Rye, flax, winter wheat, mang-el-wurzels, barley, beans, potatoes, spring wheat, oats, sugar beets, and potatoes. Fertilizer Flii. 2' -Plan
