REPORTS OF EXPERIMENTS "WITH DIFFERENT TOP-DRESSINGS. 85 



received 12 tons of dung and 3 cwts. of Peruvian guano (this is 

 far heavier manuring than any of the experiments), was decidedly 

 in advance of airy. This might be partly owing to the rows hav- 

 ing been less exposed to the sun where the dung was put, than 

 on the experimental plots, where they were exposed to a hot sun 

 for four or five hours. 



During June there was only 0-3 inch of rain. The rows were 

 singled on June 29th. 



On July 26th the nothing plots had fallen still more in the 

 rear. Those which had received glue or sulphate of ammonia 

 were looking rather better than those which had been dressed 

 with phosphates alone. The rainfall during this month was 2 - 7 

 inches.

The cost of the glue per acre is not given, as glue is merely taken as typical 

 of other undeconiposed nitrogenous matter. It cost .£63 per ton.
