The maintenance, however, of the old data throws a heavy burden upon the Experimental Station. There are 210 plots, and every year 243 samples have to be taken with proper precautions and put into store for future reference. In addition there are made 486 determinations of dry matter, 243 of ash, 170 of nitrogen, 50. Of phosphoric acid, and 24 of potash, also 180 determinations of nitrates, etc., in rain and drainage waters, and 17 botanical analyses Of hay. This does not include examinations Of soils, the complete grass separations, and other extensive series of determinations which are made at longer intervals. All the above determinations, however, are part of the necessary routine which must be completed before any new investigations can be undertaken.
