whole summer, and in consequence of that remarkable drought 
there was not a sufficiency of moisture in the soil either to make 
the seeds germinate, or to enable the artificial manures to> act 
with any effect. A portion only of the seeds came up, at least in 
time to be of any avail for a crop. Tliose that first started, 
whether on the manured or the unmanured land, were ultimately 
the best roots, so that it was found impossible to arrive at anv-

the manures tried on the first crop. I therefore resolved to watch 
the result of the experiment on the second crop. 
In the course of last winter the plots were carefully diig. No. 
part of one plot was allowed to be mi.xed with another, and the
