ing some facts of great impor-
tance to the farmers OF West
Virginia. One of the means
adopted by many farmers OF our
State, to secure an increse in the
fertility Of their soils. is the use
of Commercial Fertilizers.
The experiments shown in
Bulletin No. 20 were made for
the purpose Of determining what
kind Of Commercial Fertilizers
were best adapted toincrease the
productiveness Of the various
soils Of our State. The results
show that upon certain soils, one
or more kinds Of commercial
fertilizers produce no material
beneficial effect.
How shall a farmer determine
what kind of fertilizers he needs?
In this bulletin is atable show
ing the chemical analysis OF the
several soils upon which these
experiments were made, but ii is
shown from actual experiment on
these same soils that the chemical
analysis furnishes no safe criter.
ion for our guidance, and that
the farmer must make his own
experiments upon mis- own soil,
and the better plan would be to
begin on a small scale. and when
he has determined what his
land needs, he can very profit

experiments made atthe station.
are very valuable to the farmer,

fertilizers which are adapted to
to the different kinds of Soil;
