action than the rest of the gar den. This gave us a much better basis for our experiment.
 The results were very marked ly in favor of the more nearly neutral soil. Peas for example, had vines 40 inches long by September 20 on the neutral soil, only 22 inches long on the acld (PH of 3. Red clover was twice as tall (l2 inches) on the neutral soll. Wheat and oats at tained a height of AS inches rn neutral soil as against 3o on acid soil.
 It was noticed throughout the acidity experiment that those crops grown on the more neutral soil had a dark green color and looked healthy in every respect during the whole season. Those crops grown in the more acid soils were sluggish in growth, pale green in color, and in many cases developed small leslons on the under leaves, and seeded while still in an immature state.
 It is true that the differences shown here may not be entirely due to the difference in the acid ity of the soil, as such. It is very possible that plant nutrients may be much more abundant and available in larger quantities in the soil containing less acid than ia the soil containing more acid, but since the addition of fertilizers to some of the plots in the less acid soils showed very little benefit, it is felt that soil acidity was the most responsi- bIe factor in differences of grow tn on Kodiak.
 In summarizing the results of the Fort Greedy Experimental Farm during the summer of 1943, there are four factors l have noted which 1 believe will increase the success in growing garden and forage crops here on Kodiak island
 These are: CD The selection of a well-drained, south slope. (2) The neutralizing of the acid soil, which could be accomplish ed by the addition of 3 to 5 tons of ground limestone per acre. (3) Continued deep blowing of the soil to a depth below the volcanic ash deposit. (q The ad- dltion of organic matter to the soil by blowing under green manure crops or.by applying or ganio materials direct.
 If soldier-farmers of the fu- ture, and our civilian neighbors on the island. can profit from our experiments Tn increasing their yields on Kodiak in the future, we who had the oppor- tunity to conduct the first large scale controlled horticultural study here will feel amply re- paid.
 Much work remains to be done, particularly as regards a.

 fhe only plots which showed

 There are probably several fact4ls to which we might ut- tribu e these poor results, but on y two feel that need be mem tioned These are: CD the prob able teaching from the soil, by the continual rains, of the plant nut tents before the plants could reach them; (2) the acid condi- tion in the soil which would tend to keep the plants at a sluggish rate of growth, there fore making it difficult to de- tcrmine any benefit from any particular fertilizer applied.
 Since the removal of the vol canic ash from the soil Is too costly for practical use on any large plot, the attempt was made to overcome this situation by deep blowing.
 The experiment was set up by electing two acres of ground and blowing one half of each acre to a depth of 16 inches. turning up 4 to 6 inches of black soil; the other half of each acre was plowed only 8 inches in depth and no black soil was turned up. The two acres were planted with red clover and perennial rye grass respectively.
 The results of this experiment showed a very definite advan- tage of deep-plowing over shal- low blowing for Kodiak soil. Red clover, for example, grew 6.5 inches tall by September 30I on the deep-plowed acre, as a. gainst only 4 inches in the shall low-plowed lava soil Perennial rye was 29 inches tall on the black soil, only 24 inches on the volcanic silicate. Yield of rye forage (weighed wet) per acre was 7200 pounds on ground deep-plowed, $500 pounds on shallow -plowed. (Grains headed up but did not fill well, and the w-,L 1Il,,
