An examination of the above-stated results leads to the 

 following conclusions : — 



1. Seeding in drills has in every instance given a larger 

 percentage of grain than seeding broadcast. 



2. The yield of the crop on the fertilized plats exceeds 

 as a rule about thirty-three per cent, that of the crop 

 obtained on the unfertilized plat. 



3. The results obtained by the aid of commercial manures 

 applied to plats IV. and V. compare very favorably with 

 those obtained with barn-yard manure or wood ashes. 



4. Muriate of potash as potash source of plant food in 

 case of grain crops as a rule leads in yield of crops the 

 sulphate of potash-magnesia. 



1892. — The system of manuring was the same as in pre- 

 ceding years. The general treatment of the soil was alike 

 in all plats.
