NOW FRENCH MARSHAL

Paris, Dec. 27-In addition to a de-
cree creating General Joffre a marshal

nitrogen in form =. nitrate of soda and
Ia in form of sulphate of ammonia.
No. 4. Basal mixture and 1-3 of the
nitrogen in form of high grade organic
and 1-3 in form of nitrate of soda.
No. 5. Basal mixture and .-3 of the
nitrogen in the form of high grade or
ganic and 1-3 in the form of sulphate
OF ammonia.
In each case the finished fertilizer
analyzed 4 per cent nitrogen. per
cent available phosphoric acid and
per cent potash. In each year the
fertilizer has been applied in the plant
er at the rate of 1900 pounds per acre.
Other than the fertilizer used the plots
were planted, cultivated. sprayed and
cared for in all particulars alike. In
each year duplicate plots each about
acre in area have been grown with
each mixture.
The results for 1914 and 1915 are re-
ported in detail in Bulletin 246 which
will be sent on request to any resident
of the State. The 1916 results which
are the average yield per acre of the
duplicate plots of each mixture are as
follows:
Mixture No. 1. 14O3 bbis 1885 bus.l:
mixture No. =, 1895 bbls. 1884 bus.):
mixture No. 3. 1878 bbls. (3S9) bus.);
mixture No. 4, 140.5 bbls. (3S6 bus.);
mixture No. 5, 1883 bbls. 1898 bus.)
From this it is seen that the yields
from these different mixtures were eX-
ceedirgly uniform. There is only six
barrels per acre difference between the
best and the poorest yielding mixture
and in field experiments of this kline.
such a small difference has no signif-
canoe.
Very similar results have been OBJ
tanned in the two preceding years. If
we take the average yield for the three
years 1914 to 1916 the differences are
even less. Thus the three year aver
age from Mixture No. is 125 barrels:
Mixture No. ., 1928 barrels; Mixtures
Nos. 3 and 4. 124 barrels each, and
Mixture No. 5. 121 barrels.
From the results of these three years
it appears that at least % of the total
nitrogen can be supplied in the form
of sulphate of ammonia without de-
creasing the yield. 1t is planned to
continue these experiments for another
year or two in order to determine the
effect of these different substances I'M
der a number of different seasonal
conditions.
