The experiments si
Bulletin No. 28 were
the purpose of determining what
kind of Commercial Fertilizers
were best adapted to increase the
productiveness of the various
soils of our State. The results
show that upon certain soils, one

beneficial effect.
How shall a farmer determine
what kind of fertilizers he needs?
In this bulletin is a table show

several soils upon which jthese
experiments were made, btjfeit is
shown from actual experimenton
these same soils that the chemical
analysis furnishes no safe criter
ion for our guidance,'audphat
the farmer must make his own
experiments upon his ownKoil,
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 at the slation
