The apparent increase due to the use of fertilizers, the value of the 

 increase, the cost of fertilizers, and the resulting net gain or loss on each 

 fertilized plat, were calculated for the crop of 1908 in the same manner 

 as previously explained in connection with Table VIII. The average 

 content of dry matter in the mangels from all plats in 1908 was 11.96 

 per cent, an increase of 1.29 per cent over the results obtained in 1907.
