* The ground devoted to these trials was ploughed twice in the fall after the harvesting of the summer wheat, and once more in the spring. Thereupon the manure was spread upon it and harrowed in. The beet-seed was planted at intervals of fifteen inches in lines across the furrows. The preparations were completed on the 18th of April, 1871.
Note.—A ll the trials here shown took place on separate tracts of 1,500 square feet each, and the result was afterwards reckoned per acre. Between every two such tracts a third tract of similar size was left unmanured. The only mistake made in conducting these experiments was that of drawing the harrow across the tracts and thus spreading a little of the manure on the unmanured portions to the loss of those manured. oi
