248 Report on the Field and Feeding Experiments at Wohurn. 
mineral superphosphate, points strongly to an accumulated 
amount of nitrogen in the soil, the residue of previous ma- 
nurings. It will be noticed that here, too, there is no apparent 
difference between the effects of the decorticated cotton-cake 
and the maize-meal. Samples of the soil of these two new 
rotations, 1 and 2, have been carefully taken, with a view to 
elucidate the point raised.

EXPEKIMENTS ON THE COMPARATIVE MaNURIAL VaLUES OF 
Decorticated Cotton-cake and Maize-meal, con- 
ducted IN Lansome Field (Light Land). 
It was decided, with a view to aid the above inquiry, to 
institute further experiments on the poor and light soil of 
Lansome Field. 
Barley was the crop selected to commence with ; the plan of
