The test with Mr. Atkinson included a comparison betweenequal amounts of a high grade and a low grade commercial the test with Mr. Rockwell, plot 6, the check plot in Table XIIwas liken as the one with which to compare the yields of the otherplots of this field. The numbers of the plots in the following tableare not the real numbers of the plots in the two different fields, butthe pots are numbered so as to allow a consideration of both fieldsin the same table. The same is true in the following list which givesthe treatment of each plot in the table: Plot 1.—30 lbs. Acid Phosphate. Cost of fertilizer per plot $ .21 Plot 2.—3 0 lbs. Basic Slag. Cost of fertilizer per plot .2 5 Plot 3.—3 0 lbs. Bone Meal. Cost of fertilizer per plot .40 Plot 4.—2 0 lbs. Dried
