The application of potash and nitrogen seems to have had a beneficial effect upon the crop. This was particularly the case with nitrogen, but before drawing definite conclusions further tests are required. The results of these experiments are quite in accord with what we should expect in the case of a crop like turnips, which occupies the land for a short period only and is a gross feeder. It requires a considerable quantity of food constituents, and they must be in a form in which they can be used at once by the crop. Crops which occupy the land for long periodts, such as wheat, give goorl yields on comparative'y poor soil, largely because of the longer time in which the inert plant food in the soil may become available. This is not the case with turnips, and unless the substances required for its growth are present in a soluble condition in the soil, or are added by.
