The general condition of Field A on October 15 was not as good as 

 that of Field B. In Field A the dead leaves were about halfwav up 

 the stalks. The double phosphoric acid plat (No. 15) had the largest, 

 tallest cane and the unfertilized plat (No. -M) the smallest. The cane 

 in Field B did not show as many dead leaves, hut the plats of the two 

 fields appeared about the same, except that the "no ammonia" plat 

 (No. 13), Field B. had very good cane while the same plat in Field A 

 had poor cane. 



The general progress of the cane in the two fields between October 

 IT and November :> is shown in the following tabulated observations:
