The soluble manure consisted of phos- phate of potash, fi(ty-lour per cent; nitrate of soda, forty-six per cent; or nitrogen, per cent; potash, ; phosphoric acid, The quantity used was at the rate of 900 grammes to 100 kilogrammes of soil. The liquid solution was used in the pro- portion of two grammes to one litre of water. Each experimenter undertook to ?present to the congress at Angers, in November, 1902, at least eighteen plants, that is to say, one specimen illustrative of the mean result obtained in each series, and each experimenter acted up to his obligation. There were thus shown at Angers 180 plants arranged in three rows, and each appropriately labelled. The principal object of these experi- ments was to show by growing in sterile soil (white sand), the influence of nitro- gen, potash and phosphoric acid respect- ively. The object of the other experi- ments was: First, to show the influence of the complete manure in soils of varied character, but of known composition; second, to study the influence of climate or season on the action of the manures, and the cultivation of one and the same variety. •We cannot give the full details of this most interesting and important series of experiments; suSice it here to say, that the most successful result, as tested at the end of the experiment, was obtained where a double dose of the manure was emploj'ed; then came the plants treated to a single dose of complete manure; next in descending order, plants grown without potash, without nitrogen, and the worst of all (except,
