that did not give a substantial profit

CAN INCREASE CORN CROP

The corr crop of BroOkiDgs county
can be increased from 81 to AZ per
cent over present yields by the appli-
cation of Phosphorus or manure and
Phosphorus.
The decision to go to the expense
Of a trial with phosphorus under farm
conditions, was reached in the spring
Of 1914 after the writer had completed
a careful chemical analysis of the soil
Of one quarter section of the home
farm six miles north of Brookipgs in
Sterling township, and a study of the
fertility tests on the BroOkings station.
Plan of Work
A level, uniform piece Of land, with
no old straw pile bottoms or low
places on it, was selected from the

spreader loads of yard manure and 500
pounds of finely ground raw rock
phosphate. Plot No. 4 received 6
spreader loads of manure and 200
pounds of rock phosphate treated with
~sulphuric acid Commonly called Acid
Phosphate) and Plot No. 5 received
200 pounds of acid phosphate only.
These acres being in the middle OF
the field, as | have said, were given
the same preparation and cultivation
as the rest of the field. The entire
field was spring plowed, then double
disced and planted with the same var.
iety and quality of corn. Four cultiva-
tons followed.
AT husking time this fall (1914) the
five acres were husked separately and
all carefully weighed and recorded
with the following results:
