On May 18th the manure was applied and disk-harrowed. The 

 land was fitted and the lime and fertilizers were applied May 19th. 

 The oats were sown and covered with an Acme harrow and the ground 

 rolled May 20th. A very even stand of oats was obtained on all of 

 the plats. The crop did not suffer particularly from rust. On Au- 

 gust 3rd the crop was fairly well headed out. The oats were cut 

 August 4th to be hayed. Weights were taken August 10th at which 

 time dry matter determinations were also made. The following table 

 gives a summary of the yields of dry matter on an acre basis, also the 

 yield in dry matter due to the several fertilizers, the yield on the 

 no fertilizer plat placed at 100.
