EFFECT Or SALT oS WHEAr.--In an
interesting series OF experiments re.
Gently made on The farm of the ROYAL
Agricultural Society OF England. the
manurial value Of salt was uurnisfalabIv
indicated. An acre OF wheat dressed
with three hundred pounds OF common
salt yielded thirty-nine bushels of grain
with propurtIOnatc amount Of straw.
while mn adjoining acre. left unmannr.
ed produced only twenty.ninc bushels
per acre, with the straw imperfcctly de.
yeloped, showing an increase Of ten
bushels per acre The eutire cost Of
the crop IS not stated. but this expert.
ment shows that The additional ten bush
els resulting from the salt were produ.
ccd ut a cost Of thirty cents each.
I'm another case piece OF ground in

crop, when harvested, yielded, according

Parkc. not less than forty bushels Of
grain 70 the acre. with a luxuriant growth
