T Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station has conducted a -field experiment at Chatham, Va., since 1924 to determine the effects of several fertilizer treatments, both with and without lime, on the yields of corn, wheat, and red clover hay in a rotation. Data reporting the progress of this experiment and information on the complete yield data are presented in the annual reports of the Pittsylvania County branch of the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. The purpose of the study reported here is to determine the extent and nature of some of the chemical properties of the soil resulting from the different lime and fertilizer treatments on the 18-year-old rotation plots of corn, wheat, and red clover hay at the Pittsylvania County Agricultural Experiment Substation at Chatham, Va.
