Soil Fertility in Relation to Barley.—Barley is well adapted for pot cul- ture. (432) Where practicable, require each student to apply the following fertilizing ingredients in the rates per acre indicated below. Require the student to calculate the amount of fertilizers required psr plat from such commercial goods as may be available in his market. Also require the student to show the method of calculating yields from check plats. See Ohio Bui. 13S, p. 40. Make each plat four to eight rods long and the width of one round of tlie wheat drill. Leave three feet between each plat, and keep this space cultivated so as to prevent growth of weeds. Outer drill row may be cut by hand* and discarded in order to get yields similar to those obtained in ordinary prac- tice. Where practicable, each student should be required to carry this trial through from start to finish, calculating fertilizers required, mixing materials from raw goods, applying fertilizers, sowing barley (wheat or oats may be sub- stituted), harvesting crops and calculating yields. Reasons for each of the steps taken should be emphasized. Place upon the plats commercial fertilizers in quantities equivalent to pounds of elements indicated: 1. None. 2. Phosphorus, 25. 3. Potassium, 25. 4. None. 5. Nitrogen, 25. 6. Phosphorus, 25 ; nitrogen, 25. Seed germinating a
