 fodder ; and usually the percentage of ear corn to fodder

 taken as reported, also ueuftlly ehow a decided decrease. 

 But hacL dry aiatter be^an determined, the writer i© of th#

The effect of woeds on low-growing crops in Burepe is 

 more marked than on corn in this country. This may be due 

 partially at l^ast, to the greater shading. Where the 

 yield of weeds art* reported (p.//) in these European tests, 

 the total yield is much reduced.
