MANURING EXPERIMENTS WITH PADDY RICE (SECOND YEAR).

respective plots again received the same quantities of slaked 
lime as in the preceding season. The rice developed with 
great regularity, no injuries being noticed in spite of the large 
amount of organic substance incorporated with the soil in the 
green manure. 
The yield in the 4 different trials is shown by the following 
table, to which we may add the produce obtained from the 
plots with complete manure and those which had not received 
any nitrogenous manure (p. 4).

It will be seen that by the cultivation of genge with the 
application of lime, the produce, especially as regards grain, 
was not inferior in quantity to the yield from the plots with 
complete manure in which a large quantity of nitrogen (11 
kilogrms. per tan) had been applied in the form of ammonium 
sulphate. Where, however, no lime had been given, the 
increase of the crop over the plot without nitrogen was com¬ 
paratively small, owing to the inferior development of the 
genge, and probably also to the insufficient decomposition of 
the green manure in the soil. 
The quantities of nitrogen consumed by the rice from the 
soil and manure on the various plots were determined by 
analysis which gave the following results :
