Additional information

This work was the outcome of a survey of the potato malnutrition trouble in eastern Virginia, 1931, made by B. E. Brown, of the Bureau of Chem. and Soils, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and H. H. Zimmerley, of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station. These agencies are conducting cooperative investigations in Virginia as a part of a general study in several states to determine the influence of magnesium on development and production of the potato on prominent soil types. A complete write-up of the data for all sections will include salient analytical data herein presented as a contribution of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station.
