These same plats were planted again with corn this year, no fertilizer 
being used. ‘The variety, the Waushakum, and the seed equal quan- — 
tities from the butt, central and tip portions of the ear. The yield 
calculated to the acre, on the basis of eighty pounds of ear corn to the 
bushel, was:

We observe, first, that as a seasonal or fertilizer influence the yield of 
all the plats are 10.6 bushels more this year for the uncultivated por- 
tion, and 8.4 bushels for the cultivated portion.

We notice also that we see no indication of especial fertilizer in- 
fluence; thus, the extreme range of crop in 1882, the year the fertilizer 
was applied, was but 4.7 bushels per acre, and in 1882 but 6.8 bushels 
per acre for the uncultivated half-plats ; and 11.9 bushels per acre in 
1882, and 12.1 bushels per acre in 1883 for the cultivated half plats. 
The order of yield in 1882 and 1883 was as below.
