Conclusions. 



1. A comparison of the above-stated yield of the different 

 plats shows that those plats (4, 7, 9) which received no nitro- 

 gen addition from an outside sowce yielded on an average 

 452 pounds each, while those plats which received an addi- 

 tion of available nitrogen plant food, 45 pounds of nitrogen 

 per acre^ yielded on an average 620 pounds each, — a differ- 

 ence of one-third in favor of the latter. 



2. An increase to twice the amount of phosphoric acid and 

 potassium oxide, as comjMred with earlier years {see report 

 for 1892), had not changed the relative yield of the crop, as 

 noticed in case of the late soja bean in 1892^
