Table IV. — Manuring Experiment, Percentage Results. 



1 No manure was applied to either N or S on any of the plots in 1907, the reason being that the 

 growth and general condition of the several plots which had been seeded in the corn in 1906 indi- 

 cated a high degree of probability that should manure be applied the crop would lodge to a very 

 serious extent. That the decision was wise was indicated by the results, for the crop even without 

 top-dressing lodged considerably. The rate of yield on all plots was considerably in excess of 3 

 tons per acre for the first crop, and about one-half ton for the second crop on winter application, 

 and considerably in excess of one-half ton where the manure in previous years had been applied 

 in the spring.
