During the year 1885, plats Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 

 served again, as in previous years, for the cultivation of corn. 

 The crop raised upon the fertilized plats Nos. 17, 19 and 21 

 was used in part for ensilage ; that obtained from the unferti- 

 lized plats Nos. 18 and 20 was sold as dry fodder corn ; both 

 crops were cut at the same time to compare results.
