The crop rotation and fertilizer ex-
pertinent fields at Columbia should De
Of interest 70 every Missouri farmer.
These plots were started in 1889, 2S
years ago. The results obtained from
these plots show what NAV be expect /
ed Of crop rotation and various sys-
tens Of Tertilizing.
Some Of the more striking results J
are given in a recent report Of the Ag-
ricnlVural Experiment Station. The
average annual yields Of corn for the
last six years of a twenty-five-year
period under the different systems of |
treatment are:
Continuous corn. no treatment, lila
bushels per acre; continuous corn, ma
nured seven tons annually, 1852 bush
els per acre; corn in rotation, no treat
ment, 44.2o bushels per acre, corn IN
rotation, manured seven tons annu-
ally, 54.55 bushels per acre.
Manure has been more efficient in
maintaining oat and timothy yields
than crop rotation has. Wheat grown
continuously and manured seven tons
annually has given a slightly higher
yield than wheat grown continuously
and fertilized with sufficient CONNER
cial plant food to supply a forty bush
el crop.
The yield Of corn in a rotation Of
corn, oats. wheat and clover, timothy,
timothy, has been maintained at about
the same level Of yields by heavy ap-
plieations Of barnyard manure as by
heavy applications Of commercial
plant foods
The return from barn manure has
been greater on corn, oats, wheat and
timothy, grown continuously, than on
these crops grown in rotation.
H. j. Bryson reports having finished
the delivery Of 5000 bushels Of
snapped corn to Luther Bryson at
s1.25 per bushel or $3.50 which made
his time spent in the corn field pay
big interest - Centralia Courier.
A table comparative prices, COM
piled by Centralia merchant to
show the difference in feed values
now and in 1896 indicates that from
the sale of 5000 bushels of corn, 500
bushels of oats, IA tons Of hay, 25 fat
hogs and 100 bushels of apples the TO-
tai receipts would be s4,449 more this
year than it would have been in 1896.
