Continuous Growing of Wheat {Stackyard fields 
1908 (32nd Season). 
As mentioned in last year’s Report (Journal R.A.S.E., Yol. 68, 
1907, pp. 242-5), at the close of the period of thirty years’ 
continuous experimenting with wheat and barley (1877-1906), 
certain changes in the plan of manuring were introduced in 
1907 with the object of simplifying the work and of bringing 
it more in conformity with agricultural practice. The present 
season (1908) may, therefore, be taken as the one in which the 
changes introduced nlight be expected for the first time to 
show any effect.

manure applied to plot lib on October 16, 1907, 100 lb. of
