Deacon Gilpin, who is a good farmer
and is much interested in agricultural ex
periments, has made test the present sea-
son of the Great Eastern potato fertilizer.
A recent issue of the Palladium contains
the following on the test: "He made the
test with three rows of potatoes upon land
which had not been MANFRED. In the first
row he placed one small handful of the
fertilizer in each hill of potatoes in the
second row he used none; in the third row
he placed twice much fertilizer in each
hill as in the first row. The potatoes were
dug carefully and weighed. The first row
produced 81 bushels; the second row a
bushels, and the third row S bushels. One
small handful of the fertilizer in each hill
(the usual quantity used) including the
first row, increased the yield II bushels.
Doubling this amount in the third row,
the increase of Ii bushels was doubled so
that this row yielded 81 bushels more than
the second row where no fertilizer was
used. Figuring potatoes at 65 cents per
bushel, the first row was worth 1.13 more
than the second. The fertilizer for the
row cost g. cents, therefore the net profit
derived from it's use was 50 cents. In the
the net profit twice as large.
