SUMMARY OF YIELD AND VALUE OF CROPS. 



WHEAT. 



Taking the average for the three years, 1884, 1888 and 1892, in- 

 soluble phosphoric acid in the form of ground bone, and the insolu- 

 ble phosphoric acid in the form of ground South Carolina Rock gave 

 practically identical results, no phosphoric acid, stood third in grain 

 and fifth in straw, reverted phosphoric acid in the form of dissolved 

 bone black treated with an equal weight of lime, fourth in grain and 

 third in straw, and soluble phosphoric acid in the form of dissolved 

 bone black, fifth in grain and fourth in straw.
