If hay containing a large proportion of clover is wanted, materials which supply relatively large amounts of potash and phos- phoric acid, and relatively little nitrogen should be employed. If hay, largely timothy and relatively free from clovers is wanted, then the proportion of materials furnishing potash and phosphoric acid should be smaller, while the materials supplying nitrogen should be applied in relatively large proportion. There is considerable evidence to show that if timothy is desired, potash in the form of muriate is preferable to sulfate, while for clovers on many soils, and especially in wet seasons, the sulfate is preferable. The cuts on pages 4 and 5 show the difference in crops of clover produced on the college farm respectively on the muriate and the high grade sulfate of potash, used in each case in connection with bone meal at the rate of 600 pounds to the acre. The application of fertilizer in preparation for seeding should be varied also with the season. Materials supplying considerable nitro-.
