In table No. 1, is given the yield per acre, of corn and stalks, for each plat. The amount of shelled corn is estimated at the rate of seventy pounds of ears for a bushel of shelled corn. The average yield per acre of the subdivisions of each piece, are also given. The corn was of fair quality, although, on the whole, it gave rather more than the usual proportion of soft A wide range of variation will be noticed in the plats without manure, the greatest yield of corn being on Plat B. 1, which gave at the rate of 76.14 bushels of shelled corn per acre, while the least yield is on Plat K. 2, which gave at the rate of 51.28 bushels of shelled corn per acre. The greatest yield of stalks on the plats without manure, was given by Plat H. 4, at the rate of 2.40 tons per acre, while the least yield was given by Plat D. 1, at the rate of 1.28 tons per acre. A similar variation will be noticed in comparing the manured plats. From the arrangement of the plats, as will be seen by reference to the plan of the experiment, the results of four distinct experiments are obtained. These are given separately in Table No. 2, together with the averages of the combined experiment, and the gain or loss of the manured plats, when compared with the average of the unmanured plats. |
