The subsequent tabular statement shows the annual appli- 

 cation and special distribution of the manurial substances 

 with reference to each plat since 1889. The fei-tilizcrs were 

 in every case applied broadcast as early as circumstances per- 

 mitted. They were well harrowed under before the seed was 

 planted in rows by a seed drill.

potash (= 12 to 13 lbs. potassium oxide), and 50 lbs. dissolved
