It will be seen that wheu the estimated nutritive value of the hay 

 is taken into account (cols. 6, 7) the dung plots ("2 -G) do not show 

 quite so great an advantage over the others as when judged by weight 

 of hay alone (col. 5). 



In the two years to which the data refer the crop of highest feeding 

 value per 100 lb. (Table V'l, cols. 1, 2) was evidently that from Plot 7 

 ("complete" artificials including nitrate of soda). When both yield 

 and quaUty are taken into account (cols. 3, 4) the best results (1911 

 crop) are shown by Plots 5 and 6 which received dung and artificials
