Summary 1. Pot- and field-experiments were carried out in both sandy and medium clay soils to determine the fertilizing value of Huleh peat, both alone and in combination with manure and/or KPN. 2. Tests to compare the value of light and heavy peat-treatments were carried out in both pot and field-experiments. 3. Tests to determine the relative effectiveness of peat from upper and lower layers (0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 m) and from various locations, were carried out in the pot-experiments. 4. Persistence of fertilizing-value of peat was compared with that of manure in the pot-experiments. 5. Pot-experiments with dehydrated peat were carried out to determine the best drying method from the standpoint of fertilizing-value. 6. Preliminary trials were made to determine the most effective method of combining peat and KPN. 7. Botanical and soil-survey data is briefly reviewed and a chemical analysis of the peat is presented.
