Abstract
1. The available information as to the yields and composition of hay from the Palace Leas plots at Cockle Park has been summarised.2. The use of basic slag alone, or in conjunction with other artificial fertilisers, is shown to have been the most effective treatment for the production of high quality as measured by analysis. Manurial dressings from which the phosphatic component has been omitted have had a depressing effect.3. The results of feeding trials are not wholly in agreement with those of analysis, but confirm the effectiveness of phosphatic fertilisers.Keywords
