BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



On plots 4 and 9 in this experiment the seed in some hills (48 and 

 76 respectively > failed to germinate, and in plot 10 the crows pulled 

 35 hills. Each plot contained 480 hills, and the yield of each plot is 

 calculated on the basis of this number. 



The increased growth due to the complete fertilizer especially is 

 seen to be enough to nearly double the weight of the total crop, 

 the increased production of beans being nearly as large where the 

 phosphoric acid and potash were applied without the nitrogen. Mr. 

 Johnson writes that the plants with the complete fertilizer appeared 

 to be the rankest in growth. 



H. L. & TV. E. Leland, East Sangerville. 



Crop, corn. Soil, a light loam of fine texture, which had not been
