[NOTE It is difficult to assess the manurial value in thia and 

 in similar oases, but if the account is to be squared it means that 

 a charge of 986 2t. must be carried by succeeding corn crops, in 

 addition to the proportion of cost of growing roots which would 

 be at least 5 per acre, i.e., 840. J.W.J
