234 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Dent corn when cut for the silo (kernels glazed but soft) 

 contained from 2G to 28 per cent, of dry vegetable matter ; 

 peas and oats when cut (in bloom) contained from 15 to 16 

 per cent, of dry vegetable matter. As the vetch and oats 

 raised upon the same plats in 1890 contained 20 per cent, 

 of dry matter when cut, it will be seen that this crop under 

 fairly corresponding conditions compares well with that of 

 Canada peas and oats, as far as their yield is concerned. 



Analyses of: — 



1. Vetch and oats (1890). 



2. Canada peas and oats (1892). 



3. Early-maturing soja bean (when blooming) (1892). 



1S93. — The system of manuring the same as in the pre- 

 ceding year ; the general preparation of the soil and of the 

 same crops in all plats alike.

 Soja beans (broadcast), 103 pounds.
