The plats wete hoed once lengthwise and once crosswise. The 
only difference between the treatment of these plats and the main 
field was an extra hoeing on the north edge, where a persistent 
orowth of grass made extra work necessary. 
Care was taken to hoe all the plats in one day, or, in hoeing 
across, to do the same amount of work on all of them on the same 
date. 
Notes were made on growth and relative appearance at different 
times during the season. 
Very little difference could be noted in appearance and growth, 
though it was early noted that there was a gradual change from 
south to north, so that the corn on the north side did not look so 
well as on the south side. It must be remembered the plats of 
two rows each extend east and west, and that they are lettered 
from A on the south side to O in the middle of the field. Plats 
A to H showed no difference except that corn on row 1, in plat 
C was shorter and poorer than that on adjacent rows owing to its 
being in, and near the dead furrow. 
Corn on row 2 of plat I, and the adjacent intermediate strip 
were poorer than their neighbors from the same cause. These 
exceptions disappeared on the west ends of the rows, where no 
effects of dead furrows could be seen. 
Near the west ends and across the middle of the plats there 
was a spotty appearance and some poor areas which bore no
