d Two soils from the _farm of O. S. Johnson, Clark County, l I ..
F. Ky., about hve.i;1iles"north of Winchester, on the Winchester i   C S.;
K- and Paris pike. These samples were taken from a held that had ’ f _..al‘  
>f ’ been in tobacco in "IQO3 and IQO4. Inthe spring of 1903, the C .  
5, . field was plowed for tobacco after having been in sodsix years. ,z?Y;?€
Before that the land had been in tobacco two years followed by . _  
15 rye and cloverx Theisamples were collected by A. M. Peter  
· and S. D. A-veritt, November ,18, 1904, using a sampling tube.  
le · In this field there were a· few rows of very poor tobacco, the  
1€ 2 remainder being good, and the samples were taken to determine ·  
Df iflchemical analysis would show any cause for this difference. _

M, ‘· The analyses are practically identical and do not suggest a ‘  
l i cause for the difference ln the tobacco. This difference in growth  
3 was probably due to other conditions, such as faulty plowing at  
8 ` 1 this point or bad setting.  
Ogg ‘ . The four samples next described were collected by C. R.  
060 T White, Winchester, Ky.; in February 1905, from his farm in  
OO 1 Clark County, 1% miles north east of Wade’s Mill and 8 miles  
E6 from Winchester. The samples are from a rectangular held  
,6 » which was in tobacco in 1903, the greater part of which pro-  
111 duced a good crop, while aoout one-half acre, occupying an  
000 r irregular triangular shape in the north-west corner, was a failure. `   ·
