ceived in 1881, 1 11-64 cords of farm-yard manure and fifty pounds 
of phosphate per plat. C 3, forty pounds phosphate per plat, and 
the yield 163 1-4 and 156 1-2 pounds of sound ear corn, respectively. 
In 1883 C 1, no fertilizer used, yielded 100 pounds of barley, with 
its straw. OC 3, 817.6 pounds of potatoes, twenty pounds fertilizer 
being used per plat. The 1884 crop was harvested and weighed

In this case the corn yielded more weight per row than the 
sorghum in © 1, and the same in O 3. The corn, however, was cut 
when just in proper condition ; the sorghum was cut much too early, 
as it would doubtless have gained in weight for two weeks longer 
at least. The yield of the mixed crop was at the rate of 15.61 tons 
per acre, of the corn portion 16.83 tons, of the sorghum 14.39 tons. 
It may be well to summarize the actual yields of the forage plats, 
irrespective of treatment.

We cannot but perceive here that in our trials Early Amber cane 
furnished more forage than did corn, but this comparison is not be- 
tween plant and plant, but between areas which were intended to 
be fully occupied, but not crowded in each case.
