The Prince Regents yielded, as near as possi- 
ble, in quantity to the Short-topped reds, with all 
the manures. Those grown with Nitrate of Soda 
and Horn-shavings, were all extremely scabby, 
while those grown with Guano and Stable-ma- 
nure, were beautifully clear skinned, and free 
from scabs. 
This ground was a light loamy soil, with a 
gentle declivity to the south. It had produced 
oats the preceding year. The Guano was Peru- 
vian, probably superior in strength to African by 
20 or 25 per cent.
