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 _ ui -D • *.u ^^^° germinatingr apparatus used by the below. Require the student to calculate the ,. . % . ^ . . , ... , , , United States Department of Agncu'- amount of fertilizers required per 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 BuL 13S, p. 40. Make each plat four to eight rods long and the width of one round of the 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. ^^^lere practicable, each student should be required to carry this trial through from start to finish, calculating fertiHzers required, mixing materials from raw goods, applying fertilizers, so\nng 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 indicate
