Annual  Report  of  the  Consulting  Chemist  for  1882.  217 
to  such  an  extent,  that  the  clover  crop  was  spoiled  more  or  less 
on  the  several  plots. 
Warren  Field  has  been  thoroughly  drained  during  the  past 
autumn,  and  been  much  improved  thereby. 
The  Roots  (swedes)  in  the  Rotation  Experiments  at  Woburn 
were  a fine,  $ven,  and  in  all  respects  satisfactory  crop. 
The  experimental  barley  in  Lansome  Field  yielded  on  an 
average  about  6 quarters  per  acre  of  good  barley,  weighing  from 
53J  to  54  lbs.  per  bushel,  and  about  2 tons  of  straw. 
In  the  course  of  the  year  I paid  twelve  visits  to  the  Experi- 
mental fields  at  Crawley-Mill  Farm. 
Analyses  made  for  Members  of  the  Royal  Agricultural  Society  from 
1st  December,  1881,  to  1st  December,  1882.
