The al)solutc and relative growths made on the four plats are given 

 in Tabic XI. The various parts of the plant were weighed sepa- 

 rately, but as no one part appeared to be affected by the lime in the 

 soil more than another, only the weight of the whole plant, except 

 roots, is given in Table XT.

The averages of the relative growths show, with allowance for 

 probable error, a possible increase of to 8 per cent in Plat II, a 

 decrease of 10 to IG per cent in Plat III, and a decrease of G to 12 

 per cent in Plat IV. The total green weights of the six crops give 

 nearly the same results, except that in Plat II there is a slight decrease 

 instead of an increase over Plat I. The average of the relative 

 gi'owths is probably more accurate than the total weight of the six 

 crops, since the former gives an equal value to each crop grown. 



Crop A was analyzed alone, and crops D, E, and F were analyzed 

 together in a composite sample. In each case the leaves and stalks 

 were analyzed separately. The results are given in Table XII.
