On the assumption that the manurial residues are practically 

 exhausted by the end of the fourth year after the use of cake 

 has been discontinued, we may see how cake has paid on the 

 whole, that is to say, taking both direct and indirect effects 

 into account. This is shown in Table X., where it will be 

 seen that at two of the three stations the cake has left a deficit, 

 while at Sevington there is a small credit balance. In 1907 

 and 1908 the use of cake was resumed at Sevington, and 

 again the direct returns resulted in a loss, 193 lbs. per acre
