to the amount of soil. Two pounds of moisture-free manure 
were applied to the largest pots, while the amounts added 
to the other sizes were respectively 1.25, 0.55, 0.36, 0.18, 0.8 
pounds. Expressed in per cent of the yields without manure, 
the manured pots yielded 99.1, 106.2, 110.1, 118.8, 108, and 
109.6 per cent total dry matter, and 169.5, 103.5, 88.4, 117.3, 
125.7 and 118.2 per cent of ear corn.

size of the pot. The results in the different sized pots 
without mamire are here expressed in per cent of the re- 
sults in the smallest pots tvithout manure. Hogue's Yel-
