 Plot No. 1-Check plot, no ferti1ize-, one-quarter acre plot

 Plot No. 3-Incomplete fertilizer mixture applied to this plot, 2S pounds dried blood. 133 pounds acid phosphate, 2 pounds nitrate of soda.
 There were several rains during the first part of May, which gave it a good start. Following is an illustra- ton of the three plots staked out, and the amount of fertilizer used on two of the plots while the third none was used.
 The grass was cut and harvested
 Plot No. With no fertilizer, yield ed 500 pounds.
