in duplicate rows on a strip of ground as even in fertility, and as 
desirable as could be selected from what was open to use for the 
experiment. The soil is not particularly rich on any part of the 
farm, but this field may be regarded as of medium fertility. The 
whole field was devoted to corn in 1888, and it was then fertilized 
with thirty loads per acre of stable manure, and the portion not 
included in the fertilizer trial of that year, was in addition top 
dressed with 600 pounds of soluble Pacific guano, or about 100° 
pounds per acre. No very large crop could be expected, but 
rather a fairly average one. The rows this year extended north 
and south across the fertilizer plats of 1888, and the portion on 
which the soluble Pacific guano was applied. A single row of 
each of the flint corns was planted on the east side of the strip of 
land used, and the duplicate rows were planted in the same order 
“on the west side. The two rows of each of the dent and sweet 
corns were planted side by side. 
The tables below show the salient points gathered during the 
season, the crop harvested, per cent of dry matter in same, the 
yield per acre calculated to perfect stand, and dry matter of same 
at the rate found in the crop as harvested :
