To two other plots the same salt has been applied at the rate of about 150 pounds per acre. When this land is seeded, the hay crop where the larger amount of potash is used is considerably larger and contains a much greater proportion of clover than where the smaller quantity of potash is used. In 1902 the larger application of potash gave a yield at the rate of 6,772 pounds per acre; the smaller application of potash yielded at the rate of 5,252 pounds per acre. For a full understanding of the conditions in this experiment, it should be further stated that the.
