An examination of the yields of the different crops shows that 

 the dissolved bone black has given with the majority of them the 

 largest return and the Caribbean Sea guano the least. 



With peas and turnips South Carolina rock seems to have been 

 more effective than dissolved bone black. This point is brought 

 out quite sharply. The fact that turnips respond to manuring 

 with some crude phosphates has been noted by other 

 experimenters. 



The results obtained in this experiment with South Carolina 

 rock on peas agree very closely with the results obtained from all 

 other experiments made by the Station covering this point. 



Growing- Mixed Grains Compared with Growing Grains 

 Separately. 



In accordance with the recommendation of -the Station Council, 

 trials have been made to test the advantages of growing wheat 

 and oats mixed as compared with growing them separately. Six 

 plots were measured off, 43.6 feet by 240 feet, on land that had 

 been plowed the previous fall and manured at the rate of five 

 cords of stable manure per acre. The seed was sown broadcast 

 May 7th and crop harvested August 24th.
