These soils, it will be observed, are very different in cha- 
racter, and hence the selection of the locale of the experiments 
was a very happy one. The Gardham soil has an abundance of 
lime, of phosphoric acid, and nitrogen, and is evidently a rich 
soil. The Sigglesthorne soil is, on the contrary, one in poor 
condition, and the Hampole stands intermediate. 
Inspections of the experiments have been made by members 
of the Local Society's Committee, and observations were re- 
corded on the appearances shown at different periods. These 
will be found on referring to the detailed report issued by the 
Experiments Committee of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society. 
(a.) Experiments on Swedes at Gakdham grown on 
Wheat-Stubble after a Fallow. 
The soil was a rich loam on chalk, and, as observed, the land 
was too rich to serve well the purposes of an experiment and 
Swedes at Gaedham.
