DISCUSSION AND COMPARISON OF THE DATA. 

 EXPERIMENTS WITH NO FERTILIZER. 



The yields and composition of the cane on the plats to which no fei 

 tilizer was applied are considered first. The data show that the avei 

 age yield on field A for the four years on the unfertilized plats is 9. 

 tons and on field B 7.01 tons per acre. The average percentage 

 sucrose in the juice of the canes from field A is 11.88 and from fie] 

 B 11.03. The average percentage of reducing sugar on field A is 1.! 

 and on field B 1.26 per cent. Comparing fields A and B for 1902 ai 

 1905, in which the same plats of land were used, it is seen that tl 

 average yield on field A is 10.75 tons per acre and on field B 14.10 toi 

 per acre. The superior natural fertility of field B has therefore pi 

 duced an increased yield of 3.35 tons per acre. In respect to tl 

 composition of the juices of the canes in the two fields it is seen thi 

 on field B there is a slightly increased percentage of sugar and also a 

 slightly increased percentage of reducing sugar. The above d.;ia 

 show that for the average tillable land of that part of Georgia over
