198 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Conclusions. 



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

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

 nitrogen addition from an outside source yielded on an 

 average from 1,400 to 1,500 pounds less per acre than those 

 receivino- a nitrogen addition. 



2. From these figures it appears that the increased cost 

 of the fertilizer in the case of the plats receiving nitrogen 

 (45 pounds nitrogen at 13 cents = $(3.75) exceeds the value 

 of the increase in crop produced by its application (allowing 

 $5 per ton of green material containing 34.02 per cent, dry 

 matter) . 



3. An increase of twice the amount of the phosphoric 

 acid and potassium oxide as compared with earlier years 

 (see report for 1892) has not afl'ected the relative yield of 

 the crop.
