examined by the fermentation test and at the same time determinations 

 were made of the nitrogen. The results are shown in Table III. They 

 show that in this country the effect of manures on the character of 

 the grain is much more strongly marked than at Woburn.

With the single exception of Plot 6 the effect of the addition 

 of potash and phosphate has been most marked. In the case of this 

 particular plot it will be noticed that an exceptionally heavy dressing 

 of nitrate of soda was employed, and it may well be that this has 

 exerted an overwhelming effect. To bring out this point more clearly 

 two typical results are plotted in Figure 5. It will be seen that the
