STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



In calculating the values of the manure obtainable from the 

 different rations the proportions of nitrogen, phosphoric acid 

 and potash in the different materials used were estimated or 

 assumed as closely as could be from the data available; and it 

 was also assumed that 75 per cent, of these ingredients in the 

 fodders and feeding stuffs would be recoverable in the manure.* 

 The valuations per pound of these ingredients were taken from 

 those estimated b}- the New England Experiment Stations for 

 the year 1900-1901."!" 



The following table shows the average market price per ton 

 of the different materials used and the estimated value of the 

 manure obtainable from one ton.
