This is likely true, also, of the clovers and other leguminous crops. This should mean no small saving to the farmers growing this crop on these soils. The yield of hay on the Iredell Farm varies from less than a ton to more than three tons per acre, according to season and variety. Three tons of hay would remove 30 pounds phosphoric acid, which would be almost returned by 200 pounds 14 per cent acid phosphate. 5.
