In the potato plots at Colebrook phosphorus has proved thus far a sensitive element, Leaving it out of the formula depressed the yield 85 bushels per acre, while doubling it over the regular 5-8-7 formula in- creased the yield 56 bushels per acre. More response was obtained for varying the potash than in the previous year. Leaving potash out of the formula depressed the yield 115 bushels per acre and where lime was introduced 178 bushels. Increasing the potash from 7 to 10 per cent increased the yield 52 bushels. Varying the nitrogen does not ap- pear to have so much influence. Judging by the average yields of the potatoes in the first two years of this experiment, much better returns. This method was used in weighing the j'iclds on fertilizer test plots. might be expected from one ton of a 5-16-10 fertilizer than from IV2 tons of a 5-8-7. (Purnell Fund) Variety Tests A comparative trial of straight seedings of white Dutch and Ladino clover on the Carter form at Boscawen indicated that the Ladino, a giant variety of white Dutch, outyields the white Dutch per cent. Trials of prominent strains of flint and dent corn now being grown in New Hampshire were also made at Boscawen, together with a very early strain of flint corn developed for northern Wisconsin conditions. Yields showed the following results from four-row plots after reducing to the same moisture content: John Hutchins, Carroll, bushels; Charles Cotton, Strafford, bushels; Mrs. Ida M. Bell, Coos, bushels; Fred A. Roy, Cheshire, bushels; Fred W. Smith, Sullivan] bushels; A. B. Locke, Stralfonl, bushels; .!. 1). Porter, Sulli- van, bushels; Charles Thompson, Carroll,
