of Manures Applied to Pasture.

out of "account. The effects of small quantities of ground 

 lime will be considered later (p. 48), as also the effects of 

 adding Basic Slag to the lime plot at Sevington and Cransley 

 (PP. 31-33). 



The Effects of 10 cwt. per Acre of Basic Slag (200 lb. P2O5) 

 applied in a Single Dressing. 



This treatment was given to one plot at all the stations 

 except Downan, and it may at once be said that, on the 

 whole, it has proved the most profitable of all, and generally 

 so to a very marked extent. The figures are brought together 

 in Table XIII., where it will be seen that, after deducting 

 the cost of the manure, a profit is left in every instance except 

 two, namely, Hillridge, a farm situated at an altitude of 

 1,200 feet in Lanarkshire, and Glen Dye. In his report Mr, 

 Hendrick explains that the slag plot at Hillridge was some- 

 what unfairly treated by reason of the unmanured plot being 

 naturally somewhat superior to it. Had it received some 

 consideration in respect of this, Mr. Hendrick says, "It 

 would have shown a small balance after paying for the cost 

 of the slag." Mr. Greig, in reporting on the five years' 

 results at Glen Dye, states: "An application of 10 cwt. of 

 basic slag per acre has therefore proved the most satisfactory,
