The plan of manuring and results are given in Table II. 
The plots were ^-acre ones, and over the rest of the field barley 
was grown (without manure). 
It is impossible to attempt more than a very brief summary 
of the principal features brought out in the experiments. They 
are mentioned more in detail in the report presented by the 
Sub-Committee to the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture, to which 
reference should be made.

A most striking feature is the fact that a considerably higher 
produce was obtained on field A, from which the swedes had 
been entirely removed, and which one would have thought had 
become impoverished thereby, than on field B where wheat 
(dunged) had been grown, especially as the latter is the richer
