The advantage to the farmer of testing by actual experiment 

 the manurial requirements of his own fields is now generally 

 recognised. It is, however, essential that 



Manurial tne wor ^ undertaken should be on right 

 Experiments by ,. , , n . . r ; 



Farmers. lines so that definite information may be 



obtained. It is also highly desirable that 



the scheme adopted should bear a close relationship to that 



followed by other experimenters, for only in this way can 



corroborative information be obtained. A scheme of manurial 



and other agricultural experiments is published by the Board, 



and this will be found of considerable assistance to farmers 



wishing to experiment in the manner suggested. A copy will 



be forwarded on application.
