While the proportion of nutrients in the crop of 1889 very 
closely coincides with that of 1887, some differences will be 
perceived between the composition of the harvest of 1890 and 
those of the two preceding years. We notice in the above 
last tabular record a considerable increase (135.2 kilogrms.)
