Scope and Content

Photograph of two boxes of basic slag on grassland with heavy soil which were part of the Bath and West Society experiment in November 1901. The experiment was discussed in Vide Socity's Journal in 1903, pg. 17 and was shown at the "Royal", June 23, 1903. The sign on the boxes note that one is without basic slag and the other is with basic slag, but both samples were sent by John Reeve of West Grinstead, Horsham.
