Crowe took up some of the corn on plats 10, 11, 12 and 13, 

 which made it necessary to again replant these plats, Qa June 

 18^ iSoy beans were sown on plat 9 at the rate of one and one 

 half bushels per acre. The stand fe not being good the plat 

 was replanted with a hand planter at the same rate July 3rd. 



June 18th. millet was sown at the rate of one bushel 

 per acre on plat 5. A washing rain occurring before they 

 were cultivated in, the sowlngwas repeated June 22nd. 



July 24th. soy beans were sown in plat 11, and millet 

 on plats 6, 15, and 20. 



August 6th. soy beans were sown on plat J.2, and millet 

 on 17, 21 and 26. In all cases soy beans were sown at the 

 rate of one and one half bushels per acre and millet one bush- 

 el per acre. Where millet and soy beans were sown, the ends 

 of the plats as well as the part in corn were occupied. 



The plats were given shallow cultivation June 22nd, 

 July 5th. and July 30th. As it was dry after this and the 

 mulch seemed efficient it was not deemed advisable to again 

 disturb the soil. The cultivation could only be given in one 

 direction. The ridges between the hills in the row were cut 

 down as needed and the plats where corn only grew were kept 

 free from weeds. Plat 2 was frequently scraped on the surface 

 only, taking care to leave no mulch, and plat three had about 

 a two inch mulch of straw after becoming compacted. The plats 

 on which Veed^ were grown were cultivated until the millet 

 and soy beans were sown.
