Groxoth of Red Clover Inj different Manures. 
191 
In the spring of 1858, it was decided to take a crop of Barley, 
without manure, before making any further attempt to grow 
Clover. It was, however, not thought worth while to determine 
the produce of Barley on each of the many differently manured 
Clover-plots separately. Accordingly, only the main divisions, 
represented by the Series 1, 2, and 3, of 1854 and 1855, were 
adopted. The produce of Barley, per acre, over each of these 
three portions of land, is shown in Table VI.

It is obvious, that although the land was incapable of yielding a 
crop of Red Clover, it embraced all the conditions requisite for 
the production of a very luxuriant crop of Barley. The lowest 
produce, that on the plots of Series 1, of this " clover-sick " land, 
was 7i quarters of Barley per acre, of 52 lbs. weight per bushel. 
The highest produce, that on the plots of Series 2, where the
