FERTILIZER EXPERIMENT IN FIELD E.— KING 
PHILIP CORN. | 
This field produced a crop of hay in 1887. It received a dress- 
ing of muck and manure composted the following spring at the 
rate of thirty loads per acré. This dressing was plowed in 
May 10-16. The ground was harrowed several times, rolled and 
reharrowed, but the heavy clay refused to come into good con- 
dition for a seed bed, and it was rather rough and lumpy when 
planted, May 25. The heavy roller was run over it the next day, 
and a light rain following before morning gave the seed a good 
chance to grow. The corn rows were obliterated by rolling, and 
remained so until the corn was up. 
On June 6th, it was harrowed lengthwise the rows, with a slant- 
toothed smoothing harrow, which effectually set ‘back the grass 
which was showing up all over the field. 
The fertilizers were sown, and muck and manure applied on 
the 8th. 
The following gives the kind and amount of fertilizer used per 
plat and per acre:
