—DETERMINATION OF DRY MATTER— 

 For the determlnationjbf dry matter representative 

 samples were taken.Of the corn, two hills of three stalks 

 each were ^ from plats 2,3,5, and 10. Of millet and soy beahs 

 composite samples were taken; millet from plats 5 and 6, and 

 soy beans from plats 9 and 11. The samples, while rather 

 small for the purpose are believed to give fairly approxi- 

 mate results.
