acre. The land was ploughed on September 21st, 1883, drag- 
harrowed on October 13th before the drill, and harrowed after it 
— the seed (Browick wheat, 8 pecks to the acre) being drilled 
in on the same day. By November 1st it was well up. The 
land was hoed on March 27th and following days, and the 
wheat continued growing well. On August 6th it was cut, 
and carted and stacked on the 16th. The crop was threshed on 
November 18th, the straw and corn being weighed on that and 
the following days. The results are given below in Table VII.

were apparent, e.g. in the two unmanured plots, and still more
