The re

The general Improvement of the soli
was found to have far lena b*-n«'firlal
effects upon the rye crop than upon
pM-tatoes and clover.
With the Im
provement In the soil It was n««<-ca
«ary to omit nitrogenous topdrearlnga
for rye. with the result that the yields
of straw w.-rw somewhat lessened and
those of grain Increased
The exp«-r
Iment also taught that It Is adilssbie
to sow grass seed with the clover, as
grass usually mor« readily survives un
der extreme winter and excessive dry
summer conditions.

secured In trylug to grow clover with
