Although the land which received the mixed fertilizer gave anaverage of bushels of oats per acre more than the unfertilized land, stillthis increase was produced at a cost of about 47 cents per bushel. The mixedfertilizer gave a larger average yield than no fertilizer on heavy soils bushels per acre, on light soils by bushels per acre, and on blackmucky soils by bushels per acre.

From year to year we find that there are manymore applications for potatoes for experimental work than are received forany other class of material. This is owing, no doubt, to the fact that a potatotest is comparatively easy to look after, and many persons are anxious tose^rore improved varieties. A very large number of applications were re-ceived in the spring of 1906, and three hundred first-class reports came tohand in the autumn after the crops had been harvested. From the fore-going table it will be seen that the varieties distributed were divided intothree distinct classes; early, medium, and late. The same thr
