This rotation has not as yet come into regular order, and so 
need not be discussed in detail. The results are given in

Rotation II. 1908, Barley — after roots manured. 
The swede crop of 1907 had been manured with dung, 
made as follows: — For plot 1, with decorticated cotton cake; 
for plot 2, with maize meal ; for plots 3 and 4, without either 
cake or corn. The crop, distributed over the plots at the rate 
of 12 tons per acre, was fed off by sheep which received 
neither cake nor corn but merely a little clover- hay chaff, and 
“ Chevalier ” barley was subsequently drilled. The results are 
given in Table VIII.

The decorticated cotton cake plot gave the highest return, 
and the maize meal plot the next best, but the differences 
between these plots and those to which was given (for the 
swede crop) manure made without cake or corn are not nearly
