designed to make Prohibition unpopular
with the masses, or words to that effect.
Several aldermen were outspoken in
their declarations that such was the
case. The mayor incidentally, was an
anti Prohibitionist, and so declared to
a delegation of ministers that waited
upon him. The street tax ordinance
keeps recurring, the alderman who

MANURIAL EXPERIMENTS WITH
COTTON All ST. KITS AND MONT
SERRAT.

A rep ort for the year 1907 g on the man
undergraduates with cotton tn It have been
in progress at ST. Kits and Montserrat
since 1904 has been received from DR..
Francis Watts, G. NJ. G.. Complete details
of the scheme of manuring that is being
followed in these experiments were given in
the agricultural Ne'cs (Vol. III, p. 237),
and sum- aries of the annual reports for
1904-6, I9O5-0, md 1867 were published
in Vol. ", p. 2G3 Vol. V. p. 231, and in
Vol. VI, p. 1913.
The series of trials is q very compr,h hen
siye one, there being as many rs thirty. eight
distinct experiments. Further, MI tue ex-
perimont5 have been repeated three times
every year, tho seed in Tie first instance
being sown in June, in the second Instance
in August, and in the third instance in
September or October, At st. kits The
experiments have now been conducted for
four years ON the Same individual plots j. e.
every plot III the series has received u sim
liar application Of manure each season since
1904. The Montserrat experiments differed
from those arrled out at st. Kits, III that
they were not conducted On pots which
had previously received similar mannrea
As in previous seasons, the application of
artificial manures seems to have had llttie
influence on the yield of cotton. For OK
ample, in the first series Of experiments at
st. Kits, j. e., the cotton planted in June,
an average return Of ], l65 10. Of seed cot
ton per acre was Obtained from1the I'M
manfred plots, a plot dressed with II com
piete artificial manure containing nitrogen,
potosh, and phosphates, yielded at the rate
of ,172 f. per acre, while the plot which
had been gwen ordinary pen manure yielded
seed-cotton at tho rate of l ,242 ID. per acre.
In the case of the experiments with July
planted cotton, the unmanured plot gave
1,480 b. of seed-cotton per acre, the plot
which had received q complete dressing of
a%rtificials yield at the rate of only 1892 II.
of seed cotton, while the plot which had
been dressed with pen manure gave a crop
of seed cotton at the rate of 1872 Ii. per
acre. Returns of a similar nature were
obtained in the manurial trials carried out
at Montserrat.
From the above returns, it is evident that
on expenditure on artificial manures for the
cotton crop is not justified in st. kits or
Montserrat, when the crop is grown under
conditions similar to those which governed
the experiments.
