Summary of Yield of Crop (1S90 to 1896). 

 [Pounds.] 



Conclusions. 



From the previous statement of comparative yield we find 

 that the plat receiving dissolved bone-black leads in yield 

 during the two first years, while for the third, fourth, fifth 

 and sixth years the plats receiving insoluble phosphates 

 are ahead, phosphatic slag being first. South Carolina floats 

 second and Mona guano third.
