 as in 1889 and 1890 of one-tenth of an acre each, an explanation of which is given on

 of the results for each year is given below : — 



It must be borne in mind that in 1890 1 brl. of Ceres 8uperpho.sphate was applied 

 to the whole of the plots of one-tenth of an acre each, in addition to the fertilizer 

 applied in 1889 ; but no fej-tilizers were added in 1891.
