When the experiment is studied in detail it appears that the proportion of nitrogen to phosphoric acid should have been greater in order to get the most profitable returns. When muriate of potash was applied either alone or with nitrate of soda there was a net gain, 7. It seems probable, moreover, that as the experiment continues the application of nitrate of soda or other readily soluble forms of. 727 160 lbs. Nitrate Soda. 80 lbs.

The importance of this ex- periment, however, is in emphasizing the importance of systems of farm management which will bring to soils of this type in New York State the largest supply of readily ava'ilable nitrogen. The use of leguminous crops and the proper preservation of stable manure and particularly the liquid excrement, which contains the larger part of the nitrogen excreted by domestic animals, is again emphasized. 8, No influence on the growth of timothy has been observed from the use of lime, but, in other experiments on the same soil type, marked results with lime have been obtained upon the growth of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appeara
