And in Staff ordshire (South) the allowance is for linseed cake and 

 cotton cake two-thirds of the last year's consumption, and one-

 two years respectively. 



Again, guano and all other artificial manures used for root or 

 green crops are paid for in Lincolnshire at the full value of the 

 articles applied in the last year of the tenancy ; but nothing is 

 allowed for artificial manures applied to corn crops. In Notting- 

 hamshire guano and other artificials used for a root or green crop 

 are paid for at the value of all applied in the last year, and one- 

 third of that applied in the last year but one ; and one -third of 

 the value of guano applied in the last year of the tenancy to the 

 first white-straw corn crop after a root crop or summer fallow. 

 In Staffordshire (South) guano is paid for only upon root or green 

 crops, and this at two-thirds the value of what is applied in the 

 last year, and one -third of what is applied in the last year but 

 one. In Dorset (Central) guano used either for roots or corn 

 crops is allowed for at 15s. in the pound for the last year's applica- 

 tion, 10s. in the pound for the last year but one, 5s. in the pound 

 for that used in the last year but two, and 3s. in the pound for 

 guano used the year before that. In Gloucestershire (Cirencester) 

 guano used for roots or green crops is paid for at the whole value 

 of the last year's application, and one-third for that of the last 

 year but one ; and when used for corn crops the full value is 

 allowed for that used in the last year only. In the West Riding 

 of Yorkshire (Wakefield) guano used for root or green crops is 

 allowed for at one-half the application in the last year, and one- 

 third the application in the last year but one ; and nothing is 

 paid for this fertiliser applied to corn. In the West Riding of 

 Yorkshire (Barnsley) guano used for root or green crops is paid 

 for at all the value of the last year's application, deducting two- 

 thirds the value of the root crop if drawn off, and one-half the 

 value of the same if on the ground ; and for guano applied to corn 

 crops, one-third the value is allowed for that used, in the last 

 year of the tenancy. 



Schedule I., Form C, referring to allowances for " Farm Produce 

 Consumed on the Holding," is a perfect blank no district having 

 made a return of any practice of paying a sum of money to the 

 outgoing tenant for corn, meal, bran, hay, straw, roots or other 

 produce, either grown on the farm or purchased and consumed ir 

 yards or buildings or upon the land. The return, however, from 

 Barnsley remarks that a little extra price is sometimes given for 

 farmyard manure, if more than the usual quantity of corn has 

 been consumed ; and the value of the manure arising from hay 

 consumed is paid for. And the Surrey return says that, in 

 estimating the worth of farmyard manure, the valuers make some 

 difference where corn, meal and other farm produce have been 

 consumed, though it is not generally considered adequate to the 

 real value of such enrichment of the manure.
