The numerous trial with field pima on the experiment sta- tion farm at Pullman have seemed to justify their very general introduction on the moister soils of the wheat belt. There are several reason.. for intro- ducing this crop. Nearly all the colder ‘V wheat soils of ashington are becom - ing more or less depleted in nitrogen, this depletion is istrikingly shown by Ii\ ranker growth and darker color of grain wherever manure has been drop- ped or where an old fence has been broken up.
