Shutt — Soils. 



To ascertain what manurial value there might be from the 

 clover the second year after ploughing under, these same plots, 

 without the addition of any manure or fertilizer, were sown in 

 1899 with Mensury barley. Again a great difference on the plots 

 that had grown clover in 1897 was noticed, and the harvested 

 results showed the average yield on the four clover plots over 

 that of the four " no clover " plots amounted to almost nine 

 bushels per acre. 



The weights of grain and straw harvested from these plots in 

 1898 and 1809 are given in the subjoined table ;
